| What kind of results
can I expect when I add a SepAerator to my existing septic tank?
It would be easy to simply say Amazing Results should be expected,
however Independent Lab Sampling is the only true way to measure
those differences. Below are the sampling results of a Septic tank
before the addition of a SepAerator
Premium Package and sampling results at 4, 8, &
12 weeks after the addition of a SepAerator.
This was a typical Residential 1500-gallon Septic tank with a field
absorption system.
Please pay special attention to the
Total Coliform and E Coli Bacteria Results. These
bacteria are a means by which to determine the amount of disease
carrying pathogens that could be leaving the septic tank and potentially
entering into groundwater under high ground water conditions. The
original septic tank effluent discharge tested at more than 241,900
CFU per 100 mL. After the SepAerator
had been installed for 12 weeks the level of bacteria discharging
the system was rated at RL, which means below Recording Limits.
It was so low the Lab could not record any. The Oil
and Grease in the original septic tank discharge
tested at 383 mg/L,
while the addition of the SepAerator
dropped this important number to RL
as well. Oil and Grease are some of the hardest materials for a
septic tank to break down. The foul
odors usually associated with a septic tank is 10 times less and
virtually non-offensive after adding a SepAerator.

It is understandable that these numbers might be hard to comprehend
if you are not a chemist or a lab technician. What these Independent
Lab sampling reports do tell, is that with the addition of a SepAerator
the quality of the septic tank discharge is dramatically improved.
When you process the waste inside the tank, rather than discharge
sewage out and into your field the life of the field should be significantly
prolonged. Poorer soils will absorb
clean effluent much quicker and easier than raw sewage. There is
a far lower chance of the septic tank discharge contaminating the
ground and drinking waters throughout the United States with the
addition of a SepAerator.
Seems too good to be true but here are the results. With the investment
of a few dollars today on a SepAerator
Premium Package, you could expect to save many thousands
of dollars by prolonging the life of your secondary treatment system.
Preventative maintenance will save
you money and more importantly help protect our environment.
