So is my piece of land is not approved by the city because he doesn't have good drainage can this be used to get the permit

[@TractorJackalope]

This can't reduce drain field area because it's designed to a flow rate, not a biological load rate. A drain field needs to be able to absorb the water from the house and this system does nothing to reduce discharge rate.

[@iLaYoga]

My lot is almost pure rock therefore I can't create a drain field. I'm looking for a septic alternate that can be used and dispersed above ground. Would something like this work?

[@Uberkamper]

This doesn't address the leech field. On my list though.

[@jl-5188]

@@Uberkamper "leech" field? What a difference an "a" makes!

[@dervinwitmer9059]

Yes, This would work for that application as far as treating the effluent properly, but your local health dept. would still have to approve a drainage area design.

[@WaltWW]

Answering your question 6 years later but yes. You can put in aerobic system similar to this with a third pump tank with a chlorinator after the aerobic treatment tank. The water in the third tank is then surface applied with a high pressure pump through sprinkler heads. This system is used almost exclusively in Texas where the soils are heavy clay.

[@Fedgery007]

What is the cost range on these?

[@ericpham6192]

Can we use electrolysis to evaporating the clean water and use add on butan convert sytem

[@DigItExcavating]

That would be a question for an engineer.

[@gusti2wire]

Cost?

[@pbraun4496]

Is this available in Canada?

[@fasnuf]

How well does it do with hair?

[@DigItExcavating]

Hair will always need to be pumped out.

[@mossconfig]

very informative video. how do you get at it to clean it?

[@LucianAllen]

There is an access riser on top of the tank where we can clean or inspect the tank.

[@dervinwitmer9059]

There is an access riser lid.

[@gfdxnbxfjgdxvbrtxg8675]

Okay but what if the blower breaks?

[@dervinwitmer9059]

Blowers have a 5 year warranty, if it breaks there are replacement blowers available.

[@justinshifflet9700]

How does one of these cost

[@zulemaflores8796]

Just go with a regular septic tank and install H2 low toilets.

[@DigItExcavating]

That’s a great idea anytime you can use low flow options!

[@oilspeculatorhater]

Good stuff. Thank you for sharing.

[@davidbagley1783]

Approval in Marshall County Indiana?

[@ThatHuskyisCrazy]

Is this the same company that makes fuel cells?

[@jamesmullarkey5851]

Would this be available for use in Maryland.

[@DigItExcavating]

Aero-Tech is no longer in business. But there are other companies who have aeration or other secondary treatment options. Check with your local Health Dept on approved equipment.
