Perto mance Data Many installation requirements and options are governed by local codes instituted by the health department in your area.When in question,check with the local health department for specifics and follow their code instmcdons.Any design or installation questions not answered here can be directed to the Infiltrator Systems'Technical Services staff by calling 1-800-718-2754. In what types of systems can Infiltrator chambers be installed? Infiltrator chambers can be used in almost any septic leachfield application.Wherever stone and pipe can be installed.Infiltra chambers can be used_This indudes trench,bed,and elevated mound installations. Infiltrator chambers provide superior treatment capabilities in pressure dosing, level distribution,serial distribution,evapotranspiration,and sand filter applications. When I install Infiltrator chambers,how much can the size of the leachfield be reduced? System sizing is determined by each local health depanymnts.Typical,'y,health departinents have approved sizing reduction of 25 to 50 percent when Infiltrator chambers are specified,Check your local health codes for the specifics in your area. What is the required distance between:trenches?What is the require d distance between chambers installed,in a bed system? Trench spacing requirements are determined by local health codes so aleck with your local health deparbsrent_In beds, infiltrator Systems recommends a minimum of 6 inches separation between the feet of the chambers_ What is the SideWinde+rS sidewall? The Sidewinder sidewall is an improved sidewall design that provides greater system performance.The sidewall features MicroLeachingTM louvers that run along the entire wall of the Infittrator chamber.This creates up to a 35 permA increase in . _ open area on the sidewall as compared with a flat sidewall construction. What is the difference between the Standard Infiltrator chamber and the Standard SideWinder chamber? These two chambers have the same dimensions(34'W x 75"L x 12'H),however the SideWrider chamber features the patented SideWrider sidewall design. What is the difference between the High Capacity lafiltrator Chamber,the High Capacity Sidewinder charrhber,and tt High Capacity Infiltrator H-20 chamber? ' AN three chambers have the same dimensions(34"W x 75"L x 16"H).The SideWkwJer Chamber tseabxes the SideWmder sidewall design,while the High Capacity Infiltrator chamber and the High Capacity Infltb-tor H-20 chamber do not.The High Capacity Infiltrator W20 chamber Is a physically stronger chamber,typkaEly used in stormwater management systems where is installed under parking lots.Its stranglh results from the use of a different blend of plastic in manufacturing the chamber. Can chambers be instidled under a driveway or paved surface? Some health codes do not allow septic leachfields to be instalted under impervious surfaces such as a driveway.This is because the surface pressure can compact the soil,resulting in a negative affect on the soil's abdityy to treat effluent (wastewater).Check with your local health department for the specific codes far your area.If this type of insiaillation is allowe call Infiltrator Systems'Technical Services staff at 1-800-718-2754 for design and irmtallation instructions.
