Annual Service visits required for lifetime of the peat moss system.
Septic Systems are the largest, most costly appliance in a home and need regular maintenance that should be performed by a professional. |
No service checks required. System guaranteed to become a "creeping failure". Homeowners are typically not knowledgeable or equipped to properly service their system. It's out of sight, thus out of mind, until an emergency or failure occurs. |
| The zone of treatment (peat moss module) is accessible and any accumulating biomat scum can be disturbed and/or removed. This accessibility greatly increases the system's ability to treat the contaminated effluent and extends the system's life. |
The zone of treatment (sand and gravel bed) is NOT accessible. The build up of biomat scum cannot be disturbed or removed, diminishing, over time, the ability to filter the contaminated effluent. This biomat scum and sludge build up will shorten the life of the system. |
