Effluent Filters

An effluent filter is installed on the outlet side of the septic tank and is cleaned each time your system is pumped. This filter is used to prevent solids from entering the filter bed or effluent pump chamber causing damage or problems to the system. The effluent filter can be maintained by the homeowner by simply lifting the filter out of the cartridge and rinsing it over the septic tank with a garden hose once or twice per year, spring and fall.
