Todae - Environmentally friendly home solutions
Going Solar provides innovative solutions for integrating PV solar power modules into buildings.
One of the first eco-friendly products we chose was Biolytix. Why? Two reasons: The soil test required an AWTS (aerated wastewater treatment system) because of the soil drainage and the slope of the property, and also their website has the "poo-cam" (view with your discretion)...but really, it promises to be a good solution versus septic or an AWTS based on chlorination. And the end result is water for irrigating plants or trees.
