Drainfield
or Drain Field
| A
drainfield
is the part of a septic system that
processes and cleans the wastewater
from a septic tank before it is returned
to the earth. This process is known
as soil absorption. Drain
field trenches effectively treat liquid
flowing from the septic tank. A drainfield
trench is generally 18 to 36 inches
wide and up to 100 feet long. The trench
contains a perforated pipe in a bed
of 3/4-inch to 2-inch diameter rock
covered by natural or synthetic permeable
fibers. Some soil treatment systems
use large plastic tubing or some other
chamber wrapped with fabric in the trench
in place of rock. A 6- to 12-inch deep
layer of topsoil covers the trench.
Sewage flows through the holes in the
distribution pipe, to the rock (or tube),
through the biomat, and into the soil.
Bacteria and fine sewage solids are
removed or destroyed in this process. |
MEGA-BIO™
is a mega dose industrial-strength
bacteria formulation designed specifically
for drainfield remediation. It digests
grease and organic solids and restores
balance to the biomat.
SEPTIC
SEEP™ is a chemical soil
conditioner used to treat septic systems
with overgrown biomat layers and is
the only product that can treat hardpan
conditions caused by high clay content
in drain field soil. |
