Septic Systems / Aerobic Treatment Units

Description:
These units can be installed either ahead of or after the septic tank. Air is pumped into the sewage to increase aerobic microbe action. A mechanical pump is used for aeration.

Intended Use:

• Prolong the life of the leaching bed
• May be installed in a new system or an existing system

Details:
Air is stirred or bubbled into the waste to break down the material. The liquid is discharged to the leaching bed. The sludge must be periodically pumped from the tank.
