Septic
System Enhancement
Conventional septic systems utilize a septic tank to hold non-soluble
materials and a soil absorption component (leach fields, for example)
to provide the majority of treatment and disperse the wastewater.
Over time, the soil absorption component can build up a clogging
layer which can eventually prevent the wastewater from moving away
from the system and through the soil. Sluggish flushing, soggy lawns,
plumbing system backups or even surfacing wastewater can result.
These unpleasant symptoms may force property owners to completely
replace their soil absorption system. This drastic form of repair
can be very costly and damaging to the existing property. There
simply hasn’t been much choice...until now.
Dependable,
Affordable FAST
RetroFAST® wastewater treatment systems are used as an enhancement
for conventional septic systems and provide a simple upgrade to
renovate biologically failed septic systems. RetroFAST also reduces
the concentration of high strength waste, making it a good fit for
many troubled systems. When used with new home construction, the
RetroFAST delivers high levels of treatment to help assure the clogging
layer never forms in the first place.
Minimal Site Disruption
RetroFAST is designed to be adapted and inserted into anexisting
tank resulting in minimal site disruption. Minor modification to
the existing soil absorption system may be advisable.
Low cost, long lasting solution
Modernizing the wastewater treatment system with RetroFAST increases
value and usefulness of the property.
Simple,
Dependable Retrofit
Small communities now have a practical, proven alternative to cost
prohibitive centralized sewer systems. Septic systems can receive
significant upgrades in their performance (including Nitrogen reduction)
with the appropriate use of RetroFAST.
How
Does It Work?
When highly treated wastewater with dissolved oxygen is applied
to a biologically failing soil absorption system, the clogging layer
can actually repair itself. This occurs because RetroFAST® removes
the type of pollutants that originally formed the clogging layer,
and RetroFAST’s oxygenated effluent fosters the development
of aerobic bacteria in the soil that will naturally digest the existing
clog.
Will it Work At My Site?
Most new conventional systems or biologically failed systems are
good candidates for enhancement with RetroFAST, but every situation
is unique. Please consult Bio-Microbics or the dealer nearest you
for more information to determine if RetroFAST is right for your
application.
Proven,
Safe, Reliable.
The advanced technology behind FAST® was originally developed
by Smith & Loveless, Inc., a worldwide leader in the design
and manufacture of wastewater treatment equipment since 1946. FAST
has been used successfully for over 30 years in municipal, industrial,
marine, commercial and residential applications.
