Whoa time flies... I hate to admit it but I just haven't been looking thru HEF the last few weeks.
450 smrider -I am up in Hartford County, mostly the Farmington Valley. I am amazed at how slow CT is to adapt when it comes to septic technology, we are in the land of steady habits.. State just approved drip irrigation. Also kinda nice they redid the center to center spacing a few years ago, goes by ELA Higher means more space. Sounds like you got good soils for 4x4's or other concrete units round your parts
Btw does your username indicate you race s/m or just ride one?
TThompson- that isn't so much soap sludge as a complete lack of maintenance on a pump chamber for a sewer, they don't care.. until the floats can't invert.
I am kind of shocked how much trouble plastic chambers had elsewhere. We are seeing "early" failures of some plastic chamber systems that were backfilled with no aggregate i.e. native soils against plastic. Is this also a case where a product got some kind of credit that it allowed for a reduction in the footprint/ sq ft/ linear ft of design?? Here we see a lot of mantis units going in the ground because they get a huge credit for effective leaching area due the interfacing surface area- even though they are back to back.
Plastic Tanks- I was pretty upset when I heard infiltrator was stopping the orange tanks, I have put a lot of those in. They were so rugged and heavy compared to others. I worry the new two piece will have issues due to bad install(er)s. I can't count how many plastic tanks are deformed and out of shape when we try to remove lids for service.
And as promised more pics.. I'll try to make em right side up
Distribution pipe broken due to settling at outlet
