Boy have times changed with systems. Of course checking with codes in your area, the systems will be different. In our area, a mounding system is used but finding to have issues. Technology is the key besides the area. I love how this system works. Our system is a leach field system but over 50 years old but still working fantastic. Our neighbor has a system that looks like a submarine with a sprinkler type system that discharges the output water around 2-4:00am. Yes the grass is greener there. Hahaha Thank you Josh for this real educational video and perfect description of everything as always. 👍🏻👍🏻🔨🔨
Thanks so much! It's amazing how technology keeps advancing, even in systems like these. It’s great to hear your leach field system is still going strong after 50 years! That submarine sprinkler system sounds pretty wild too. Definitely helps keep that grass green! Appreciate your support. Thanks for stopping by again David!
Nothing like a bucket operator with a fine touch. Remember, the grass always grows greener over the septic field. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Interesting, informative and well done video. Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words! Haha, you're right,the grass definitely grows greener over the septic field! Glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate you noticing the fine touch with the bucket. Always great to hear feedback from viewers like you. I appreciate you watching!
Wow! Great video, Im shocked at how big a system and how many feet of leach lines. I’ve developed a few properties in different parts of the country and rules differ and soil differs big time. In Oregon we used a traditional septic but required a bunch of junction boxes, another place required a sand filter system due to poor drainage and now live in Missouri out there n the sticks that has zero building codes and regulations, such a relief- only common sense required 😂😂😂
Thanks for the information! Yes, that’s why I always say check your local building codes because everywhere require something different. The idea is the same, just different techniques required. Thanks for watching!
And with those infiltrator chambers the plastic flap hanging off the end caps is actually designed to snap off and there are spots under each inlet on the end caps for the flap to snap into to serve that exact purpose. It was one of the new designs in the last 4 or so years they added on those.
@@matthewsimonsen321 I wasn’t aware of that it’s been around 6 or 7 years since I’ve installed the infiltrator system I try to just do plumbing now I’m 60 years old now and it’s alittle harder than it used to be I did install a 46 ft 4” pvc pipe that had got crushed by someone running it over repeatedly I let them no that they need to drive around or they may have that problem again.
Check your local building codes and the frost line of your area and try to be below the frost line. That is a good general rule of thumb. I hope that helps!
It doesn't freeze because of the organic breakdown going on inside. The lids have to be at surface level so you don't really have to decide on a depth.
Please tell me you didn't lubricate a rubber grommet with petroleum-based grease!!! Also, 1/4" per foot slope is the MINIMUM requirement in most areas. More than that is better.
Thanks for the feedback! You're right, 1/4" per foot is the minimum, but I always aim to meet or exceed local requirements to ensure the system works properly. Appreciate your comment!
@@LAKERSRISEdiy, average I've heard about is $3000-$5000, but first get a land inspector to come out to look at the soil type. You might have to use a different kind of septic system than this.
Thanks for your comment! The 1/4" per foot slope is a standard minimum requirement in most areas, but of course, local codes can vary. It’s always best to check local regulations to make sure everything's done right. Appreciate you watching! Stay tuned for more videos to come!
You are the best! A literal perfect video. Thank you for the free education.

Thank you!
Excellent!!
Many thanks!
When you see holes in the lawn or area which look sunk, is that a potential issue with septic system? This is a great video btw!

Is a float switch necessary? Did you install one? How do you know when your tank needs maintenance?
When we install that system where the drain line goes into the leaching baffles we have to install a concrete square pad we usually install
12”x12”
It’s for the drain water to run on or over time it will make a hole from the sewer water pouring directly on the dirt .

OK. That actually is a good idea. Thanks again!

How did you decide on the depth to install it? Seems shallow if you were in a place that has deep frost in the winter.
Check your local building codes and the frost line of your area and try to be below the frost line. That is a good general rule of thumb. I hope that helps!

Have a licensed septic designer do a design and install it as they direct.
👌👍

I don’t see any MOUNTAINS For the Ceptics In PA. All the houses have a huge mountain. In their back yards

If you have too much slope the liquids run faster than the solids causing blockages.
How much does this cost? 🤔

1/4" drop per foot???! I dont think so
