The chambers are buried, locked end-to-end and capped with dome-shaped end plates to create a large half-tube structure. Effluent from a septic tank flows freely into the chambers and is filtered efficiently into the soil absorption area.
What are infiltrators used for?
Wherever stone and pipe can be installed, Infiltrator chambers can be used. This includes trench, bed, and elevated mound installations. Infiltrator chambers provide superior treatment capabilities in pressure dosing, level distribution, serial distribution, evapotranspiration, and sand filter applications.
Maximum acceptable burial depth for Quick4 Plus chambers is determined by local site, soil, and groundwater conditions. Local building code and/or engineer dictates the maximum allowable depth, usually at about 3 feet to the top of the chamber.
How deep should septic drain field be?
18 to 30 inches
How do septic infiltrators work?
Primary treatment occurs in the septic tank, where bacteria digest organic materials in the wastewater. The effluent then flows into the leachfield for secondary treatment. Here, bacteria complete the digestion and purification process as the wastewater slowly leaches or infiltrates into the soil.
What are infiltrators in a septic system?
Infiltrator® is the original and remains by far the most dependable septic leach field chamber system. Infiltrator Quick4 Plus™ series chambers are high-density polyethylene arches that interlock to form a continuous drainage area with a much greater storage capacity 'surge' volume than pipe-in-gravel leach fields.

What is the most common septic system?
The solids stay in the tank while the wastewater is discharged to the drain field for further treatment and dispersal. There are many different types of septic tanks available. The three most popular types are concrete, plastic (polyethylene), and fiberglass.10 ene 2020
