Sand filter system helps replace failed septic
Problem: A three-bedroom home in Blackford County, Indiana, needed a full replacement system after an unpermitted system failed. The site required that the system be elevated above grade due to site conditions.Solution: Eljen donated the B43 GSF modules needed for the drainfield, and Roth donated a septic tank to replace the one that had been damaged. The receiving layer was scarified to maximize the interface between the specified sand and native soil. Twelve inches of Indiana DOT Spec 23 sand, meeting Eljen’s specified sand requirement, was placed and stabilized before placing the GSF modules
