Infiltrator products are today’s superior alternative to old-fashioned stone and pipe because they:  — Provide long-term savings due to longer life and greater operating efficiency — Offer worry-free, long-term service with only simple, routine maintenance — Protect landscape from damage caused by heavy equipment — Provide greater treatment area to handle more wastewater with higher efficiency — Offer a “greener” approach utilizing recycled plastic resins to manufacture the products — Are backed by a minimum 1-year warranty and a reputable, service oriented company — Can be installed in tight, sloped and curved areas creating less site disruption — Infiltrator systems are designed to safeguard our environment for future generations.

Conventional leach fields use perforated plastic pipes laid in a twelve inch gravel bed. It is not a stretch of the imagination to envision those small holes clogging faster than a three foot wide chamber. That’s why we only sell the best!

Infiltrator^® chamber leach fields are high-density polyethylene arches that interlock to form a continuous drainage area with a much greater storage (“surge”) volume than conventional perforated pipe leach fields. Installation simply involves digging a series of three foot wide trenches connecting the Infiltrator chambers and then backfilling with the soil you originally removed. No gravel is needed, but adding gravel above and below your chambers is always an upgrade to aid percolation in poor soils.
