What is one of the primary goals of a pressure distribution system?

The primary goal of a pressure distribution system is to achieve uniform application of wastewater. This system is designed to evenly distribute effluent across the absorption area, ensuring that the soil can effectively treat the wastewater. By promoting uniform distribution, the system prevents localized over-saturation, which can lead to system failure or contamination of groundwater. An even application helps maintain healthy soil conditions and optimizes the treatment process, which is essential for protecting environmental and public health.

Other considerations, such as maintenance requirements and landscaping needs, are important but secondary to the system's core objective of effectively managing wastewater distribution. While increasing the volume of wastewater treated can be a benefit of better distribution, it is not the main purpose of the system itself.
