An ordinary septic system relies heavily on soil filtration to purify wastewater, so most of the cleaning takes place as the liquid seeps through the drain field. An onsite aerobic system is designed to break down waste within the tank itself, so the water is already clean by the time it enters the soil. If you’re weighing in your options for septic equipment, here are a few reasons to go with this option. 

Why Choose an Aerobic System for Your Home?

1. Protect the Planet

Because the wastewater is mostly clean by the time it leaves an aerobic tank, it's much safer for the environment. There's less of a risk of polluting surrounding groundwater or compromising the quality of the soil around the drain field. Also, the recycled water will nourish your lawn, reducing your home's total water use.

2. Enjoy Fewer Restrictions

To be effective, an ordinary septic system needs enough room for the tank and drain field. The soil must also not contain clay, which is too hard and prevents adequate soil dispersion and filtering.

An aerobic system doesn't have these constraints. It requires less room and works with a range of soil types.

3. Use in any Environment

An aerobic system is also more versatile in other ways. Since it doesn’t require a large area for the drain field, it’s the ideal choice if you have many hardscape installations on your property. You can even use it to replace an existing septic system if the drain field becomes clogged or damaged. If you have a large family and require a tank with a larger capacity, this is also the unit to install.
