How many Infiltrator chambers do I need?
As a general rule, trenches ‘fingers’ should be no longer than fifty feet (12 or 13 Infiltrators long) for best function and most even effluent distribution. Unless you are installing as a “bed” system (where the chambers are right next to each other), leave at least six feet of undisturbed soil between fingers.
How does infiltrator septic work?
Primary treatment occurs in the septic tank, where bacteria digest organic materials in the wastewater. The effluent then flows into the leachfield for secondary treatment. Here, bacteria complete the digestion and purification process as the wastewater slowly leaches or infiltrates into the soil.
How deep is a septic finger system?
On new septic systems, the drainage tiles must be installed at a depth of 2 feet below finger trench bottom or 2 inches into the glacial till layer and must be drained by gravity to a proper drainage outlet. On repairs to existing systems, the depth of the tile should be at least 2 feet below the trench bottom.
How do leaching chambers work?
Leaching chambers are drainfields used to dispose of previously treated effluent. Effluent flows out of the septic tank and is distributed into the soil through the leaching chamber system. The soil below the drainfield provides final treatment and disposal of the septic tank effluent.
How deep is a leach pit?
