What is a septic aerator?
All septic tanks and as a matter of fact 99% of all life in the septic tank is oxygen based. It is simply that the smelly life uses the oxygen attached to sulfur because no free oxygen is available. When they use sulfur based oxygen they really stink up the place, "smells like rotten eggs." When you provide bubbled oxygen they use it instead and DO NOT make the nasty smells. Septic aerators bubble oxygen into a septic tank by several different means, including solar powered septic aeration systems. Just like the large municipal wastewater treatment plants work, when you bubble air or introduce oxygen into a septic tank, you can improve treatment 20 times or more using the same amount of space and time.
Can a Leaking toilet overflow the septic tank?
Since it is just water, it should go directly to the laterals. If the septic tank was full, the toilet would not drain. There may be a problem with the tank or the lateral field. ========================================================== Put simply a septic tank is always full! It starts off being full of water. Over time (a long time) a layer of processed toilet forms at the bottom as compost. At the same time the lighter than water items, grease,fat, oil, plastic etc: float on the top. Our toilet is 70% water, the remaining 30%solids are converted into carbon dioxide and methane gases before dropping to the bottom of the tank as a few grams of compost, hence the fact that a correctly sized septic tank , used only for things we had already eaten, will take twenty or thirty years before it requires emptying. As waste enters the tank, it pushes processed liquid out of the other side. The level remains the same. All this stops when the drain field is full of liquid, due perhaps, to a raised water table, if your drain field is sitting in the middle of an underground lake, then you have to wait for the lakes water level to drop, before your drain field will empty. A company should not install a drain field where there is less than 36 inches of soil between the bottom of the drain field and the seasonal high of ground water.
