An aerobic septic systems no longer produce a sterile effluent, so it can be dangerous if you don’t have the proper leach field or drainage setup. No one wants exposed, untreated sewage, and it’s particularly dangerous if you use your effluent for any irrigation purposes.
Before replacing your air pump ensure you have all the correct tools, equipment, and experience. It is your responsibility to adhere to local laws and regulations, and replacing a septic air pump may require professional assistance. Not all air pumps are built the same, so ensure this air pump works properly with your current aerobic treatment system.
