Best Answer

any thing that goes down the drain enters the septic tank, the tank allows the solids to settle out and lets the fluids move into the drainfield, the drainfield then allows the soils to absorb the liquid

What is an Aerated Septic System?

A septic tank lets out air when liquid comes in. Bacteria in the tank help breakdown the sewage into cleaner effluent which is released into the drainfield. Some bacteria need air to work, others work without air. The bacteria that work with air soon run out of air in the tank and stop working. They can be reactivated by putting air into the septic tank just like air is put in the water in a fish tank. The process or the system to put air into a septic system makes the system an aerobic or an aerated system.
