I'm in central Florida and looking to build a tiny house with one toilet for just myself. My soil is very sandy, but I definitely want a sprinkler vs a drain field. Possible to legally only have the toilet go to this system. and route the sink and shower to go to my lawn? What's the smallest system I can put in?
Should I be able to hear a constant humming from inside the aeration tank? I can hear it from the room inside the house that is closest to it and it drives me crazy
This will depend on what state you are in. In our state, Texas, you have to have an OSSF Installer II lisence to install an aerobic system. Homesteaders can only install their own system if it is conventional. None of the work can be contracted out at all and it still have to pass permitting standards. If you are in Texas, I definitely recommend you reach out to a trustworthy, lisenced installer.
You can! This is most commonly referred to as a "drip " system. There are a variety of designs that dispurse effluent below ground, though these designs are considered non-standard and will have to be designed and installed by a lisenced installer. In out state, Texas, it requires a OSSF Installer II lisence.
To avoid an aerobic system, be sure you purchase a large piece of property, more than 2 acres, with soil that is suitable for a conventional system. You can also purchase property within a municipality that offers sewer service.
I have 15 acres. Im purchasing a manufactured home but they are telling me I need aerobic system. The soil is all sandy laom I'm not sure why I couldn't use a conventional septic. Maintenance free.
@@chrisruiz1215 originally I paid to have a government worker come and do my perc test and they are the ones who told me I needed the aerobic system. I found a private business who does perc testing and he signed me off to have a conventional system. He even drew up plans for the septic location and length of field lines. So maybe you can find a private business that does it.
Aerobics system suck, oldschool why is much better whole lot less Maintenance overall less BS . Many people building their homes are going back to the old school system to avoid all the problems that come from the high priced of aerobics systems
These system are horrible, home owners nightmare, tons maintenances (input, out put filters need to changed 4 times a year filters are 40 bucks a piece and only made one place in the world). Index valves are plastic and in cold environments, they crack or leak, then you have to dig everything up. aerator pumps runs 24/7 and have to rebuilt or replaced every 3 to 5 years (450 bucks for a new aerator pump) I will never buy a property or recommend a property with one of these systems. on the flip side, septic tank people are laughing all the way to the bank.
Great stuff! I am moving to Weatherford and might be reaching out for service.
These videos are great! I work for a septic company.
We appreciate you watching! We’ve been super busy but I hope to have more up soon!

Is it safe to add rid-x in addition to aeorobic system? Tia
How close can sprinkles be to property lines? Thanks in advance
I need to save money. I am required aerobic sprinkler . I can dig the hole(s) and have access to new tanks and pumps ect. How do I proceed?

Which chamber do you fill with water for testing?
Good job brother.
Can I use a lateral system to put the effluent into the ground rather than on the surface?
Yes, as long as your soil type will support it, you have enough space, and you are away from property lines, wells, etc.

Can these systems be used in cold climates like Michigan?
Check if there are any septic system installers in your area. They'll have the answers for your area.
What a small world. I just bought a house outside of Granbury that has an aerobic system.
Well, welcome to Granbury! I hope you are settling in well!
Can the water be used on veggie gardens?
No! Water leaving your septic system will always be non-potable.
I don't see why it can't be used on gardens... even if it has some dirty residuals. Plants love that shit.
How can I get out of having to have this stupid system?

@harrisaerobicseptic7801 couldn't I just have a tank that holds the waste and gets pumped out? Seems less complicated.

Yours must have not been made well, mine works perfectly fine, only had to change the filters, no issues.
