What is a septic infiltrator?
Infiltrator products are scientifically designed to provide more efficient wastewater treatment by optimizing the soil’s inherent treatment capabilities. Onsite systems provide a passive, reliable means of wastewater treatment at a relatively low cost, while preserving environmental quality.
What is best soil for septic drain field?
Clay soil is very compact and does not give room for the effluent to seep through. Clay soils can, therefore, result in backups in the leach field. The best soil for a septic system is a soil that lies somewhere in between gravel and clay. It is neither too dense and neither is it too loose.
How deep can you bury infiltrators?
Maximum allowable cover over the chambers in a trench system is 96 inches. In bed systems, the maximum cover is 48 inches. If the drainfield is located in a non-traffic area, minimum cover can be reduced to six inches. Exercise caution with equipment when installing a system at the 6-inch depth.
How long do septic infiltrators last?
Leaching chambers are reliable, do not have moving parts, and need little maintenance to function properly. They are usually made of plastic materials, with a useful life of 20 years or more in contrast to the average useful life of a drainfield of 15 years, with a maximum of 20 to 25 years.
