Is an Aerobic Septic System Right for You?

The first thing any homeowner must do when looking for a wastewater treatment solution for a property that isn’t connected to the municipal sewage system is confirm that they have selected the right type. The goal is simple: choose the most affordable and convenient solution that is actually up to the task. 


An aerobic septic system is one that relies on the use of forced aeration to break down wastewater more efficiently than the anaerobic method used in a pressure distribution set-up. By injecting oxygen, aerobic bacteria grow rapidly to facilitate a quicker breakdown. The result is cleaner treated effluents that can be dispersed into surrounding soil via a smaller drainfield or even surface irrigation processes. 


These attributes make it ideal for properties with small land areas, poor soil quality, or proximity to waterbodies. It still uses the fundamentals of simple solutions like gravity septic systems, only with a few added steps;

  • Wastewater flows from the property to the septic tank and chamber.
  • Forced aeration adds oxygen to the liquid, thus speeding up treatment processes.
  • Aerobic bacteria grows rapidly and decomposes organic materials.
  • Solids and liquid effluents separate in the chamber, with solids sinking.
  • Chlorination (or a similar method) is used to kill any last remaining bacteria.
  • The pump tank moves the treated liquid to the drainfield.


The system requires a trash/dose tank, an aerobic treatment tank and a drainfield.


Selecting McNair Septic for Ridgefield Aerobic Septic System Design

All septic system installations should ideally be handled by a professional, but this is even more important when dealing with a slightly more complex system. An aerobic septic system requires continuous power for the air pump. This, coupled with the additional equipment, results in a more expensive installation compared to some alternative solutions. Maintenance costs more too.


However, partnering with an experienced contractor like McNair Septic will deliver the results you deserve. Our services guarantee;

  • Compliance with all local state regulations and national requirements. This is vital when working with a more complex system that also requires electricity.
  • Cost-efficiency thanks to a carefully considered planning process that will always look for the most effective and affordable outlets, with one eye on future costs too.
