1. A hydro turbulator system comprising:
a first wastewater tank having a liquid level control maintaining the liquid level in the first wastewater tank at a predetermined first liquid level;
a second wastewater tank or liquid containing means separate from said first wastewater tank;
a volute configured to receive wastewater from said first wastewater tank, wherein said volute includes a length, wherein said volute includes a first duct and a second duct, and wherein one of said first duct and said second duct are configured to allow the wastewater to enter the volute from the first wastewater tank and the other is configured to allow the wastewater to exit the volute and the enter the second wastewater tank or liquid containing means;
an impeller system positioned within the volute wherein said impeller system includes a drive impeller having a diameter, a first agitation impeller having a diameter, and a second agitation impeller having a diameter;
wherein said drive impeller, said first agitation impeller, and said second agitation impeller are positioned in series along a fluid flow path extending through the volute between the first duct and the second duct, and wherein rotation of said drive impeller, said first agitation impeller, and said second agitation impeller create successive zones of high pressure and low pressure along a length of the fluid flow path;
a motor operationally connected to said impeller system, wherein operation of the motor is configured to rotate the drive impeller, the first agitation impeller, and the second agitation impeller; and
a discharge extension attached to and extending from one of said first duct or said second duct of said hydro turbulator system, and wherein said discharge extension is configured to move said wastewater to the second wastewater tank or liquid containing means and is positioned above said predetermined first liquid level; and
wherein said drive impeller, said first agitation impeller, and said second agitation impeller are positioned below said predetermined first liquid level.
