- The Quick4® High Capacity Chamber fits in a 1m wide trench and is ideal for curved or straight systems. It features the patent-pending Contour Swivel ConnectionTM which permits turns up to 15°, right or left. The MultiPortTM endcap allows multiple piping options and eliminates pipe fittings. The chamber's four-foot length provides optimal installation flexibility.

Hey Biff, I used to live in Lula too. What a small world. Thanks for the information.
Thank you Eric Hemard for your thorough explanation of how it works! It was difficult for me to grasp as well as I didn't understand the absorption rate principle as you so brilliantly explained. These companies should hire you as a consultant, in my opinion. Thank you Jonathon Neville for posing a great question. Cheers - Peter
I had this done7 or 8 yrs ago. Works great
I have seen some of the Infiltrator chambers that look like they have "rather large open slots" in the top of the plastic chamber -- Wouldn't it just fill up with dirt sifting down into the chamber? What the heck? Why no filter material then stone or dirt?
Will moles gophers pr voles occupy or damage these systems ?
At 4:00, it says sidewalls prevent soil intrusion? how? i find that hard to believe. Perhaps the amount of intrusion is not excessive - perhaps the volume is only reduced by 5% or so within the first week, 10% within the first year, 25% over 20 years... ???
Because the ribs on the chamber itself are facing down so dirt can’t go down then up and over the ribs on the chamber I’m sure some dirt will find it’s way In there at some point but not as much as you’d think
Will tree roots clog this type drainage system?. I live in North Georgia known for hard red clay soil. How does this system work in clay type soil?
If your soil type is loam or sandy and has insufficient clay content it will ABSOLUTELY find its way into the chamber cavity and when it does your surface will collapse and cave in. Voice of experience talking and just Google "infiltrator septic system failures" and see what comes up. This system might be reliable in hard clay but if it is so hard that you have little to no permeability and the affluent can't soak into the base clay type soil you might have a problem under high volume load conditions. Make sure your perk test evaluates your soil's permeability to the full depth of the chamber heights and another 12' beyond that.

Thank you for your insightful comments.
I lived in Lula GA and had this system. Never had any issues. They do a perk test before installing and design the system based on your perk rate.
I have yet to find anything explaining how it is that the water manages to get down to the end of a 50-100 ft run of these systems. Without lots of velocity/pressure won't the water just soak into the ground within the first 5-10 ft.? I have an old pump-less system so I think that would just make matters worse.
Lmao with proper leveling, of each ditch, and the proper distribution, it's not flow it's filling volume , no flow
Im no rocket scientist but now I need to be one to put in a poop field. What kind of technology do I need to learn to go flip bergers?
@@3starsfell huh?
From first hand experience, max run per line is roughly 50’ - 60’ depending on the requirements of the system. A 100’ run is broken down to 2- 25’ lines thus reducing the amount of space which is required compared to conventional leach lines. Adding 1/8” of slope per foot assist with the fill capacity of the chambers (other wise known as surge capacity). There is no flow created by pressure. Its just over flow from the septic tank to the chambers. If you add 17 gallons of waste to the septic tank, you’ll discharge roughly 15 gallons of effluent. Gravity does all the work. Hope this helps.
@@erichemard7066 Are you saying that adding 1/8"-per-foot slope more than regular slope (1/8" or 1/4" per foot) is enough to distribute the effluent 25 feet? (A sincere question.)
This style system has some advantages but not near the extent to which you are claiming. More so, the infiltrator style leach system is critically sensitive to soil type. The system is guaranteed to FAIL if your soil type does not contain a sufficient and somewhat significant percentage of clay. This type system SHOULD NOT BE installed in areas where the soil type is loam or high sand content. Before you commit to installing this type of system make absolutely certain you know your soil type.
Perk and soil tests are required for all septic systems. They have engineers analyze the soil before install.
Don't the intelligent people realize that it also has to evaporate upward. I guess common sense don't apply here either..
Evaporate? As in a soggy lawn? Sure, there is some evaporation, but the majority of the water is dispersed into the ground, not into the air. In cold areas, the surface is frozen during winter, and very little evaporative action will take place. 'Common sense'
In New York state, snow on the ground in the winter, wet spring and fall, rainy summers with high humidity are all added to clay soil if you live in the wrong area.
The chambers are laid level. Water (effluent) does not pile up in piles,- it seeks and immediately levels into the entire are provided…if it doesn’t all integrate into the ground before it reaches that point.
Junk

I appreciate your faith in Jesus but I would like to add something if I could. Yes, we are saved by his grace from physical death, meaning that everyone will be resurrected, it was a free gift from him as he broke the bonds of death, we accept this by faith, however, where we end up after physical death and resurrection depends on our works. After we are judged he will determine where we go. The apostle Paul described three degrees of glory, if ti were not so, there would be no need for judgement day. Ultimately we are SAVED spiritually by our works. As you well know, faith without works is dead. God bless.
Keep the Jesus shit to yourself weirdo
This is a goofy post. What does this have to do with this video?
