Effluent Filters

Usage of Effluent Filters: Certain proprietary drain field systems like Eljen and Presby necessitate effluent filters, though it isn't enforced by Maine regulations.

 

  • Septic tanks are designed to retain solids, including byproducts of waste treatment and non-processable materials such as human hair. Preventing the release of these solids into the drain field is crucial to maintaining its efficiency in treating and dispersing liquid waste. Excessive solid discharge can lead to clogging and reduced effectiveness, potentially requiring drain field replacement.
  • Effluent filters in septic tanks offer a cost-effective solution to prevent solid discharge into the drain field. Typically positioned at the tank outlet, they collect solids that might otherwise be released. While regular septic tank maintenance, including inspections and solids removal, may obviate the need for a filter, they can be a valuable addition for those seeking to streamline or reduce maintenance.
