Presby
Systems or Enviro-Systems
OK
seems there is a LOT of talk about these systems in Southern
IN these days. These are NOT a miracle cure system they are
just another type of system available in Indiana on an
EXPERIMENTAL basis.
What
bothers me the most on these systems is the way they are being
sold/installed,,,
just remember this,,,
A
smaller system (takes less space) is
JUST THAT,,, a SMALLER SYSTEM
!!!
If
there is one thing EVERYONE should
know about septic systems it is,,,
SMALLER
IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM BETTER !!
Your
best bet is the LARGEST system you can fit on your lot and
put the smallest amount of waste water through the
thing.
We
are a Certified installer for these systems
but have yet to come across
a site we feel it is best for. The only way I could see using
one is when a Mound is needed and it is downhill from the
home you can save some money by not needing a pump. In a true
mound system you ALWAYS need a pump. I'm still not sure I
would make this choice though if it were my system.
Overall
nothing has impressed me about these systems to date but if
you want to stick one in I'm game,, we'll see what happens
together.
If
you are tight on space and worried about a system working/lasting
then install an RGF
between the Septic Tank and Field Bed, this should reduce
your BOD
to less than 10 mg/l
(click BOD
for Wikipedia). Here
is a PDF on BOD from Purdue
*****
HEADS UP ON SOIL TESTS/REPORTS *****
A
soil test is REQUIRED in Indiana for any Septic System Absorption
field (field bed) repair or installation.
Vanderburgh
County Health Dept. will do soil tests for Vanderburgh County
installations only but
PLEASE UNDERSTAND these tests are NOT
State certified nor recognized or accepted by the
Indiana
State Dept. of Health (ISDH) if they have to do plan review
for your installation.
The
ISDH and any other local counties will ONLY accept a soil
test from an Indiana Registered Soil Scientist.
This
one is located in Newburgh
David
Ralston was a soil scientist for Amax Coal for over 19 years
and is one of the most regarded soil scientists in Indiana
We are lucky to have him in our area.

Constructed
Wetlands
(bunch of gravel in a pit with swamp plants
in it that live off your sewage)
These
systems are Supposed to be supervised by ISDH (the county
can not approve these on their own) if they are not supervised
by ISDH you could be held accountable for replacing it at
your expense so keep this in mind.
That
being said,, a 3 bedroom home will need about 20' x 30' wetland
area for proper sizing. With our 46" annual rainfall
this adds about 17,000 gallons of water to your field bed
each year. This happens simply by the rain falling into the
Wetland and then being funneled into the field bed. Keep in
mind that same rain fell all over your field bed too. Not
good math in my book.
17,000
gallons,, WOW that is a LOT of water, how much water do you
use in a month? Probably less than 7000 gallons. The best
part is our wet season is when the plants are pretty much
dormant so no evapotranspiration takes place. Evapotranspiration
is water evaporating from the plants which pretty much stops
@ 70 degrees. Only about 16 inches of rain falls in the months
of June through October and October is a already a slow month
for rain to evaporate. This means the other 30 inches of rain
happens over winter and early spring, not good months for
evaporation either.
In
2006 we had OVER 70 INCHES of rain WOW!! 26,000 gallons of
rain water into the field bed,,, bet that helped.
I
am NOT a fan of Constructed Wetlands and can NOT recommend
anyone install one
(unless you put a glass roof over it, then it would be GREAT)
Nobody
can FORCE you to install this system, if you feel you are
being pressured just read below.
YOU
DO HAVE RIGHTS !
If
you feel the County is trying to Bulldoze you into something
that isn't right or
force a particular contractor on you
(some local counties are known for this)
then ask what your options are by writing the
Supervisor of The Residential On-Site Sewage Program for Indiana
by clicking below.

Dunn ISDH (the answer man)
Just remember
it is YOUR home and YOUR money, you DO
have rights!
Don't let Petty Politics Boss you around.
Ask
about our 5 year warranty
available for new Septic Systems

it up,,
