Access & excavation difficulty (tight access, trees, rock, slope)

Do I need An Effluent Filter?
Yes, an effluent filter is the silent hero of your septic system. Its job is to trap solids in the tank so they don’t migrate into the septic field, helping protect your bed and extend the life of the system.
Maintenance: We recommend cleaning the effluent filter every 6–12 months (or sooner if you have heavy usage).
