Drop Boxes

 

Drop Boxes are used to distribute effluent through serial distribution to trenches in a soil percolation system. They can be used on sloping or level sites and allow for flexibility in the number and length of trenches. There is no maximum slope of site in which they can be used and they allow for quick inspection at the box of flows to the trenches. drop_box

How it works:

  • Septic tank effluent flows into the first trench until effluent levels rise and the trench reaches capacity
  • The effluent flows into the second trench until it too reaches capacity, then into the third as required.
  • Trenches function independently, each receiving effluent at the rate it is accepted in that trench.

 

Key Benefits:

  • Drop boxes can be used on level or sloping sites
  • Can be used on steeper slopes than most other distribution methods
  • No maximum slope limit
  • Simple and efficient distribution
  • Quick and easy inspection of boxes
  • No standing effluent in solid pipe between septic tank & drop boxes
  • Can be used for effluent sampling
  • No need for even trench lengths
