Home Septic Systems are Sealed Up and Destroyed by Laundry Lint  

Effective Septic System Care & Maintenance demands a Septic Protector Filtrol-160™ Laundry Lint Filter... .

Clothes fibers (lint) are a major component in your Laundry Water.  Lint fibers (primarily synthetics like nylon or polyester) are very small and are non-biodegradable.

Synthetic fibers do not decompose, float through the Septic Tank to the Drainfield, and then settle out creating a water resistant mat that will seal up your Drainfield.  Even natural fibers like cotton, wool, hair or pet fur are a problem, since they decompose very slowly.

These fibers are not effectively captured by a conventional “Sock-type or Metal Mesh-type” Washing Machine Lint Trap... studies have shown that they catch only 50% of the fibers. 

An easy way to improve your Septic System Care & Maintenance is to use the Septic Protector Filtrol 160™ Laundry Lint Filter... capture over 90% of the clothes fibers, (see "Septic Protector", click here).

A Septic System Owner shares his observations and experiences with the Septic Protector Filtrol 160™ Laundry Lint Filter...

"After several weeks of my wife doing two loads of laundry a week, I was quite surprised to see a large amount of lint in the filter bag.  Without this excess lint going down the drain, it seems to have let the drain field start to open up again and we are starting to do more loads of laundry at home again.  A person would never believe it unless you see it yourself how much lint goes out of a wash machine and down the drain.  Thank you."  Jack M, Prescott, AZ

With access to a little knowledge, Homeowners can learn how their Septic System functions and how to prolong its’ useful life.  Lack of this knowledge can lead to Septic System problems and premature Drainfield failure.  Effective Septic System Care and Maintenance starts with a basic understanding of how your system treats and handles household water, see "Septic System Design" (click here). 

 THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE for effectively using and taking CARE of a Home Septic System...

Excessive Water Flow Rate into the Septic Tank must be controlled.  All Septic parts and designs require a reasonable amount of time to allow particles to settle out of the water in the septic tank.  If larger volumes of water (like washing machine loads) are sent too frequently to the tank during a day, the water gets “stirred up”.  This interferes with the settling out of some of the materials, see "Septic System Design" (click here).

Effective use of Septic Filters for the Care & Maintenance of your Home Septic System requires controlling water flow to reduce Septic System problems and premature Septic Products ailure.  Homeowners will need to make small changes to habits like washing all of the clothes on one day of the week.  A better alternative is to wash one or two loads of clothes each day of the week… one load in the morning & one load in the evening.

Premature Drainfield Failure requires Thousands of Dollars to repair!
