About the Infiltrator Systems product

  • The Infiltrator is the original plastic leach field chamber.
  • It takes the place of old-fashioned rock and perforated pipe leach fields-no rock is required!
  • Simply dig your trench, place chambers into the ground, snap together end-to-end, and backfill with the original soil.
  • Chambers are made from chemical-resistant polyethylene, so they won't deteriorate or corrode.
  • Powerful arch design supports wheel loads of 16,000 pounds per axle, equivalent to an AASHTO rating of H-10.
  • All Infiltrator products carry a limited warranty.
