Importance Of Nitrogen-Reducing Septic Systems
Nitrogen-reducing septic systems work to protect the natural environment from climate change and pollution. Septic systems that release excess nitrogen into the environment are the main causes of algae blooms, degraded water quality, and contaminated water wells in the state of Florida. To prevent damage to the rich Florida ecosystem and the health of your family, nitrogen-reducing septic systems should be installed on properties that cannot connect to a city sewage treatment center.
In-Ground Nitrogen Reducing Biofilter Installation
In-ground nitrogen-reducing biofilters prevent nitrogen from entering groundwater through a layered drain field. Made up of several layers of bacteria-rich sand and gravel, in-ground nitrogen reducing biofilters process nitrogen out of your wastewater and turn it into harmless nitrogen gas. Our licensed and insured plumbers at Jones Plumbing & Septic Services are experts at constructing effective nitrogen-reducing biofilters and drain fields to keep your septic system compliant and running smoothly.
In-Ground Nitrogen Reducing Biofilter Repairs
If there are any signs that your in-ground nitrogen reducing biofilters are not functioning properly, Jones Plumbing & Septic Services can help. Our septic tank plumbers have years of hands-on experience working with faulty in-ground nitrogen reducing biofilters and drain fields in the North Central Florida area, and will be able to get your septic system code-compliant and running smoothly before you know it.
Aerobic Treatment Unit Installation
Aerobic Treatment Units are installed between your septic tank and septic drain field. Aerobic Treatment Units establish a highly oxygenated environment where beneficial, nitrogen-consuming bacteria thrive, speeding up the natural breakdown of nitrogen into harmless nitrogen gas. Jones Plumbing & Septic Services offers high-quality Aerobic Treatment Unit installation services that will qualify your septic system as nitrogen-reducing under HB1379.
Aerobic Treatment Unit Maintenance
Aerobic Treatment Units require more maintenance than typical septic tank systems due to the complexity of their machinery. According to Florida House Bill 1379, homeowners must receive regular inspections and maintenance from a certified septic system contractor at least twice a year. Jones Plumbing & Septic Services offers regular septic system maintenance that will keep your Florida septic system compliant and fully functional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I Required To Install Nitrogen Reducing Systems On My Property?
House Bill 1379 requires nitrogen-reducing septic systems to be present in all septic tanks installed after July 1, 2023. Only 10 counties in Florida (Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gulf, Holmes, Liberty, Nassau, Santa Rosa, Walton, and Washington) are exempt from this requirement.
What Is Required To Maintain an In-Ground Nitrogen Reducing Biofilter and Aerobic Treatment Unit?
Your aerobic treatment unit should receive maintenance visits at least twice a year. A well-maintained aerobic treatment unit can last up to 20 years, and while the exact lifespan of an in-ground nitrogen reducing biofilter is unknown, regular maintenance will significantly prolong its lifespan.
