Hey Patric it is an Infiltrator tank. I believe the same company makes the infiltrator chambers and the tanks. They only weigh 400lbs which makes it nice to set them yourself. I’ve only installed 2 systems so I’m learning more each time. Trimble was a great investment. Makes working alone much better.

4.56 percent fall from outlet of tank to leach area. Math: 52 feet x 12 inches equals 624 inches. Divide the drop of 28.5" by the run of 624" And the result will read: 0.04567 which is 4.56 percent. Dial that into the laser and start digging!!! Good job Sam!

Hey Sam. Hope you and your family are doing well. Great message as always. How right you are about the challenges we face daily. Mine is the harder I work. The more challenges I face from the people I work with. They talk and spread lies to try to make my hard work look wrong. I only get through it by having faith in our God. I talked to my pastor about it the other day. He said Sation has your picture on the blackboard in hell. My first thought was, "Oh crap the pastor is saying going to hell. What am I doing wrong? I'm serving the Lord by working hard and serving others. He saw look on my face and said no what meant is he has your picture is on the blackboard" because he wants to break your faith with all the challenges . But He is saying how can we get this guy because it is not working. He still keeps his faith and still serves the lord and others. Even with all the challenges we throw at him. I was like, thank God you cleared that up for me. Because I was thinking what . Then we laughed together and said a prayer. But any way. You keep doing what you are doing, brother, and I will, too. Take care .

Hey Sam, a few things I’ve picked up over the years doing septics. The hole saw is worth the money when using the Infiltrator tanks, lol. As far as fall for your outlet pipe to drain field, we ( I know everybody has different requirements to meet ) just need the height of the pipe difference. 3”pipe =3 1/2” fall, 4”= 4 1/2” fall to end cap. When digging long ditches on a slope, once you started just throw some dirt under the low side track to keep your machine level. I’ve put in 1000’s of feet of those chambers. They work wonderful in the right type soils. Not so good in others. I personally never liked plumbing through the end caps. Prefer building a header or manifold to supply each line for a more even distribution of the effluent coming from the tank. Just the way I was taught 🤷‍♂️. Also our ditches have to be a minimum of 7’ in between or 10’ on center. Like I say, I know everywhere is different. Those gaskets can be a booger when working by yourself. I know you haven’t done but a couple of these but maybe some helpful tips if you do anymore 👍🏻. As always, appreciate the Word and continue to share the Truth.
@tristardiggin
@tristardiggin 4 ай бұрын
Yup, it’s interesting how the states require different things. D boxes aren’t allowed here at all. They will fail a system if you put one in. Our minimum fall requirement from the tank is 4”. It’s interesting that the pipe from the house isn’t even required for inspection, but I’m not fussing about that though. One less thing to deal with. Putting dirt on the path of the low side track definitely works. I do that in some applications and like the way it works. I’m hoping to get a tilt coupler to dig in grade with but have to figure out how it will work with the grade control system. Thanks for the info…

Thank you so much for your video. I've been researching trying to solve problems with ground water ingressing into my Septic tanks that have to be pumped into a sand filter. And as I dug out around the pump tank I found efluent (poo) water pooling about 1 foot deeper below the outside of the top of the tank, 3 feet total under ground. A big problem. May mean the concrete is compromised. The tank is under a cedar deck, which means tear that out, to replace the tank. I was woken today with a ton of worry, and started to go to the bible and also pray. Then found your video. At the end to find the words you shared from 1 John 5:4 I knew the Sprit sent me to watch your video. Thank you, it reasured me to know even large problems can and will be overcome with God's strength and help. God bless you and yours!

Great job Sam. I been trying to get into the septic training up in Asheville. Just hasn’t worked out with my schedule. Not sure if I can get the work either. Tons of people around that do that sort of thing. Idk. Gonna try to get it in before the end of the year. Great video and explanations. Enjoyed that as well as the message as always. God Bless

Hey Brian, I put it off for a long time too. There seems to be several folks doing them in our area but the state inspector I talked to said there wasn’t enough people doing them. So, I thought I would give it a try. Pretty easy to get a license in TN. You just go take a written test and if you pass you pay your fee and get the license. The test was pretty hard though. Glad you enjoyed the video and the message…

From what I’m told I have to take a class for two days then a written test. Then you have to have another class to be able to design and install them every year you have to take so many hours of classes etc to keep your license. The class alone to start with is $600 plus room board for a night. I want to it’s just finding a class I can plan to get to. Also I had it pulled up to sign up and paused for a day or two and the next couple months got booked up that fast. It looks rather simple but I’m sure there are a lot of details and stipulations to remember
