With the Standard Infiltrator Chamber System, the whole leachfield system can be delivered in one pickup truck load. It can be installed by just two people, one on a backhoe and the other installing the plastic units. The chambers easily interlock end-to-end and can be assembled into trenches or beds. They’re suitable for a variety of applications, including mound, serial-distributed, and pressure-dosed systems.

Each chamber has an open bottom and louvered sidewall. These features provide more than twice the infiltrative capacity of a conventional stone and pipe system. And, because they’re constructed of PolyTuff^(TM) plastic, a proprietary blend of polyolefin, the chambers are strong and are impervious to wastewater constituents. The Standard Infiltrator model has an AASHTO H-10 load rating and can withstand 16,000 lb/axle, with the proper compacted cover. It’s hollow interior allows each chamber to store up to 77 gallons of household effluent.
