Wastewater unit with internal sandwiched connector

A fluid treatment unit, comprising:

• an elongate support pipe defining a longitudinal axis;
• a plurality of fluid treatment modules positioned on the pipe with the pipe extending longitudinally through a front and rear face thereof and longitudinal spacing between adjacent modules, each of the plurality of fluid treatment modules having a support unit with at least the front face and rear face being wrapped in fabric;
• and
• a plurality of connectors attached to the support pipe, each having a fin extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and into an interior of the support unit of one of the plurality of fluid treatment modules to maintain the respective module in its longitudinal position on the pipe.

A connection within a fluid treatment unit, comprising:

• a connector comprising a substantially flat fin defining a front side and rear side;
• one or more front units of support that is non-fluid absorbent abutting the front side of the fin;
• one or more rear units of support that is non-fluid absorbent abutting the rear side of the fin;
• one or more layers of fabric that is fluid permeable wrapped around the one or more front units and one or more rear units, thereby holding the one or more front units and one or more rear units relative to each other and the connector with the fin maintained between the one or more front units and one or more rear units via force from the wrapping, wherein
• the connector is rigidly attachable to a fluid distribution conduit to thereby yield a rigid engagement of the one or more front units, one or more rear units and one or more layers of fabric relative to the fluid distribution conduit.
