HOW THE SOILAIR SYSTEM WORKS

The patented SoilAir System fundamentally changes the leach field environment with the introduction of oxygen. Air is injected into the leach field and travels into the surrounding soil. The oxygen in the air allows the soil microorganisms to thrive and reach unprecedented population levels. In a process similar to composting, this oxygen allows the microorganisms to reduce (eat) the accumulated organic matter, unclogging the leach field and allowing the wastewater to infiltrate into the soil. Within a few weeks, the leach field is back to its original hydraulic capacity.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

SoilAir System components include a high-pressure blower and a microprocessor based controller in a small unobtrusive enclosure. This enclosure is connected to a power supply, phone line and the pipe running from the septic tank to the leach field. Other components are also installed on this pipe to monitor septic system operation and to determine aeration frequency.

Once installed, the SoilAir System can monitor the septic system performance and forward this information via the phone.

SoilAir Systems have been utilized on new and existing leach fields, dry wells and other soil absorption systems. Projects include single-family residences, community systems, commercial facilities and even restaurants with heavy grease deposits. SoilAir Systems are operating on septic systems ranging in age from 2-50+ years old, in a wide range of climates and soil conditions.

The common denominator in these SoilAir installations is... PROBLEM SOLVED, with minimal disruption to landscaping and at a significant cost savings over a new leach field.
