Has anyone had any experence with a aeration device operating on a continuous basis and a system bacterial source both installed in an existing septic tank. The claim is that it can recover a failed leaching field. My engineer has not seen this system and has no backround in it. Thanks, Jim
 
A septic system has no aeration, otherwise it wouldn't be a septic system. If you aerate a septic system, solids won't settle due to the mixing.


Also, you don't need a bacterial source. If conditions for bacteria are present, you will find an abundance of microbes.
 
Thank you I agree with you but Massachusetts has approved to companies to us this tech in treating failed septic fields just looking for some back round on same, thanks
