ADVANTAGES OF USING A FILTROL-160 LINT FILTER

Non-biodegradable material fibers (polyester, nylon, and other synthetics) are a leading cause of plugged septic system drain fields, sewer pipes, and drains. Typical lint screens used with consumer washing machines and discharge hoses trap less than 5% of these particals. Did you know that even a new septic system can fail in as little as three years? This is primarily due to non-biodegradable material fibers plugging the soil in septic system drain fields. 

The majority of lint fibers are very fine lightweight particles that stay in suspension in the septic tank. They then flow with the water out to the drainfield where they plug the pores of the soil. Over time, the soil can become so plugged with fibers that the drain field fails to allow the effluent to migrate through the soil. Then, the homeowner is faced with costly repairs. For homes connected to city sewer systems, these lint fibers are a leading cause of sewer pipe and drain clogs, which can cause flooding in laundry rooms and basements.

WHY BUY THE FILTROL 160 WASHING MACHINE FILTER?

The Filtrol 160 is a very important tool that when used will prevent a tremendous amount of unwanted debris from leaving your washing machine and entering into your septic system. There are some who would think that there couldn’t be that much debris coming out of their washing machine. Lets say that each load of laundry you flushed into your septic system had a small hand full of lint go with it. This in itself wouldn’t seem to be that much. However lets say that you did on average of 5 loads per week, 20 per month, which would total 240 loads per year. Each year your washing machine would be flushing 240 small handfuls of washing machine debris directly into your septic system. Although some of this will break down in your septic tank most of it will not. A combination of weeks, months, and years of this washing machine build-up will have a major impact on the life of your septic system. Septic Solutions has been in the septic system business for many years and one very important lesson we have learned is that Preventative Maintenance will save you money. For the price of a Filtrol 160 today, you could quite possible save many thousands of dollars in septic system replacement costs tomorrow.
