The interval for servicing septic tanks is set by state and local code. Throughout the United States there is a wide difference of
opinion on what this interval should be, but most regulatory agencies suggest two to five years. The Zabel
®
filter, which does not
increase the frequency of servicing for the tank, should be cleaned when the septic tank is normally inspected and pumped.
However, our filter is virtually self-cleaning. The continued action of the anaerobic organisms on the Zabel filter causes lodged
particles to disintegrate and fall to the bottom of the tank. If your filter contains a SmartFilter
®
alarm, you will be notified by an
alarm when the filter needs servicing.
To service the filter:
*Servicing any zabel filter should only be done by a certified septic tank pumper or installer.
