Infiltrators
   
- 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.
