Septic Tanks

Front Range Precast Concrete Full Monty

The Full Monty from Front Range Precast Concrete is a fully equipped three-compartment concrete tank, featuring either a gravity-based auto-siphon or electric pump, making it an ideal all-in-one septic system for residential use. The first chamber receives the wastewater from the home, separates the liquids and the solids and passes the water into the second compartment, where it is filtered and delivered to the third compartment. In this compartment, the water is pumped out and into the soil treatment area. With the proper design consideration, this simple, elegant solution can turn wastewater back into groundwater all on site. 800-783-3207; www.flxx.com

The bristles are effective for trapping hair and are an option for the filtration of hair found in the wastewater of pet care facilities. The filter is flexible, allowing easy installation in hard-to-reach applications. This flexibility also allows for the filter to be used in odd-shaped baffles such as rectangular concrete baffles without the need to remove and replace the baffle. The filter is available in 4-, 6-, 7- and 8-inch diameters. The contoured design of the filter promotes longevity, and the optional maintenance sleeve is available if service is required between pumpings. 888-999-3290; www.simtechfilter.com

Lids

BrenLin Seal-R

Seal-R septic tank covers from BrenLin create a strong seal between the septic tank and surrounding elements. The covers are made of durable LDPE, and range in size from 12 up to 42 inches, as larger covers are becoming more common as required equipment continues to expand in size. They can be personalized with customer or company information using a CNC machine to engrave directly into the cover. All come with mounting supplies, including stainless steel lag bolts, and are designed to work with N12 dual-wall pipe. 888-606-1998; www.brenlincompany.com

TUF-TITE Flat Riser Lid

The TUF-TITE 24-inch heavy-duty flat riser lid is designed to be installed with eight vertical screws and four horizontal screws for added safety. A water- and gas-tight septic tank lid is required to meet most state and local septic codes. This prevents noxious odors and dangerous gasses from escaping the septic tank. The lids are easy to install, and the foamed-in permanent polyurethane lid gasket means there is no need for temporary O-rings or caulk to assure a water- and gas-tight seal. They are secured by eight vertical and four horizontal safety screws for added safety; screws are included. The lids also include Concrete Keepers, which allows the lid to be filled with up to 65 pounds of concrete for additional safety. When filled with concrete, the lid meets most septic tank regulations including ASTM C1227. TUF-TITE 24-inch flat lids fit most commercially available plastic risers and plastic pipes used for septic tank risers. 800-382-7009; www.tuf-tite.com

Onsite Septic Systems

BioMicrobics RetroFAST

The EPA-verified BioMicrobics RetroFAST is easily placed into the septic tank and delivers high volumes of dissolved oxygen to treat the wastewater before going to the drainfield. Once installed, the treatment helps break up the biomat in the drainfield. The system provides a simple, low-cost and robust upgrade to conventional septic systems and comes complete with an aboveground blower and control panel. The installation can be completed without the need for heavy machinery, usually in less than half a day. This low-impact design avoids digging up the entire yard, making the finished product landscape-friendly. With our SOS (Save our Septic) program, if the system does not remediate the drainfield within one year of the startup date, the property owner is entitled to a refund. 800-753-3278; www.biomicrobics.com

Eljen Geotextile Sand Filter

The Eljen GSF, or Geotextile Sand Filter system, is designed to provide treatment and dispersal in the same footprint with easy installation and minimal maintenance. It is used for commercial and residential applications. Utilizing a two-stage pretreatment process, the geotextile modules apply filtered septic tank effluent to the soil, increasing the soil’s ability to accept effluent and increase the long-term acceptance rate. Its design provides increased surface area for biological treatment that greatly exceeds the module’s absorption area. Open-air channels within the module support aerobic bacterial growth on the module’s geotextile fabric interface, surpassing the surface area required for traditional absorption systems. The system is tested and certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 40. 800-444-1359; www.eljen.com

Septic System Component

Infiltrator Water Technologies Grease Interceptor 

Noncorrosive grease interceptors from Infiltrator Water Technologies provide a durable lightweight, easy-to-install intercepting solution. Manufactured with polypropylene impregnated with fiberglass, the interceptor’s low-profile design with dual-wall solids-tight baffle creates a two-compartment solution preventing FOG from short-circuiting across the interceptor. The continuous gasketed midseam connection, secured by permanent seam clips, produces a watertight bond between interceptor halves. Available in three models, the GIT-1060 and GIT-1530 are large-capacity gravity grease interceptors like conventional concrete solutions, but will not corrode when exposed to high levels of hydrogen sulfide due to their inert thermoplastic construction. The GIT-540, Infiltrator’s hydromechanical grease interceptor, is ASME A112.14.3 certified and rated 97.9% effective at trapping and retaining grease. Both gravity and hydromechanical interceptors are designed to perform to AASHTO H20 load-bearing requirements utilizing a rebar-reinforced concrete slab, 24-inch cast iron covers, N-12 24-inch dual-wall corrugated pipe and Infiltrator’s Pipe Adapter Ring. 800-221-4436; www.infiltratorwater.com
