Do you have a filter on your septic system? If you have a traditional septic system with a drain or leach field, you should have a filter on your system. A septic filter is the last step in cleaning the effluent coming from the septic tank into the drain field. If your system doesn’t have a septic filter, consider these benefits:
- Prevent clogs. A septic filter pulls solids that are too large from the effluent that can clog the pipes in your drain field. A common issue is medication pills or tablets that don’t breakdown and can get stuck in the holes in your drain field pipes. The filter can remove these solids before they cause an issue in your drain field.
- Removes non-biodegradable items. There are items that enter your septic tank that will never dissolve. Unfortunately, if they overflow into your drain field before they have a chance to be pumped out, they can cause damage to your system, even failure. Filters pull these items out or stop them from leaving the septic tank, which can protect your drain field from damage.
- Low cost, easy maintenance. A septic filter is cost effective and simple to maintain. It can be cleaned during regular maintenance and pumping. The low-cost filter can prevent thousands of dollars in damage, making it a wise investment.
Septic filters come in a variety of sizes and types. Talk to your local septic service company about adding a filter to your system to protect it from clogs and failure. A simple filter can help extend the life of your septic system and prevent expensive septic repairs.
