Our Mission
Sustainable, Earth-friendly Solutions
In today's high-tech world we are proud to produce a simple, natural solution for your wastewater: a highly-effective Sphagnum Peat Moss wastewater treatment system for homes and light commercial applications. Our unique, natural process means all treatment microorganisms are naturally occurring, granting powerful benefits, such as:
- No need to shut down or restart your system
- No moving parts to maintain or replace
- No electricity, chemicals, or air pumps necessary
- No noise pollution
Our mission is to provide homeowners the most effective natural gravity wastewater biofilters available today: Planet Care's Sphagnum Peat Moss Biofilters.
Planet Care Biofilters
Simply natural, naturally simple.
The unique properties of sphagnum peat moss allow the Planet Care Biofilter system to operate without expensive air blowers or compressors. Extensive university research, independent third-party testing, and real world experience have demonstrated that the Planet Care Biofilters will protect the most sensitive environments passively, quietly, and economically.
The Benefits
Planet Care Biofilters can help you save money, spend less time worrying, and help the planet at the same time. It's a win-win-win.

The Science
The patented Planet Care Peat Moss Biofilter was designed based on the research conducted by Dr. Joan Brook at the University of Maine with ecology and environmental responsibility in mind. It's smart stuff.
The Process
Planet Care's PBF series Peat Moss Biofilters consists of a watertight tank which holds a specially graded Sphagnum Peat Moss that meets our rigid specifications for wastewater treatment. A highly efficient air exchange chamber and filter bed. The naturally occurring ecosystem of microorganisms uptake nutrient and the sphagnum peat's cellular structure captures and holds other particles in the wastewater from your septic tank. Highly treated effluent is now ready to be discharged into the receiving environment designed for your site.
Letting Nature Work
The Planet Care Biofilter system relies on a combination of natural physical, biological, and chemical processes to eliminate harmful organisms in wastewater. The key component: Sphagnum peat moss, which provides an excellent environment for naturally occurring organisms that are highly effective at wastewater treatment.
The Planet Care Module
Planet Care Peat Moss Biofilters are meticulously designed for extreme site conditions and sensitive environments, using quality components. Its high-capacity, Earth-friendly tank can treat peak flows of up to 650 gallons of wastewater per day, or the typical amount from a four bedroom home.
