Outside Colorado, contact the manufacturer directly at InfiltratorWater. Plus Series is the updated Infiltrator Quick4 with solid support legs that also serve as pipe mounting brackets. We do not sell the less sturdy Arc Series or the original Quick4 Series chambers. Plus Series chambers offer maximum strength through their two center structural support columns.
There is a 47 gallon initial surge volume capacity per Standard Series 12 inch tall chamber and 54 gallons for their HC high-capacity at 14 inch tall. Infiltrator Quick4 Plus Standard chambers weigh about 13 pounds each and a full pallet of 85 chambers is 7 foot 6 inch tall.

No shopping cart for Infiltrator parts since we do not ship outside of Colorado. Production has been too erratic this year to accurately estimate an arrival date. It could well be late December before we have any extra Infiltrator chambers. But given the number of clients in the queue, we are not taking any backorders. Pipe and individual fittings are much less expensive to buy at HomeDepot or Lowes Our PVC distributors are currently limiting availability, making spot pricing extremely volatile If you cannot find some pipe or unique fittings, we can source for you with a system purchase.
For an invoice and credit card payment link, email service thenaturalhome. Parts list must include the type of pipe being used Sch40 or SDR35 for distribution box, plus number and size of manway risers if you are getting a tank. Provide billing and shipping address and best telephone number for driver to use in-route. We can normally schedule an AM or PM delivery with at least three days advance notice, weather permitting. You must be on site for delivery and provide the driver with assistance unloading merchandise.
Infiltrator Septic Tanks are available for free delivery with leach field chambers. All installation tips detailed here apply equally to conventional perforated pipe-in-gravel leach fields.
But off-the-shelf septic system designs rarely offer any choices to expedite construction, increase leach field longevity, anticipate repair and improve resale value. Any changes you make to a permitted site plan must be annotated on the primary builder's copy and confirmed in writing with the local building department well before installation.
Avoid springing changes on your county health inspector when they arrive for site visit and inspection. We encourage clients to mail copies of their septic system plans for our free review with purchase of a system.
But understand that The Natural Home is not an engineering firm; we do not provide any engineering services, soil testing or on-site work. Installation involves digging a series of three foot wide trenches, or single large rectangular 'bed', connecting the Infiltrator chambers and then back-filling with existing soil. As a general rule, trenches 'fingers' should be no longer than fifty feet 12 or 13 Infiltrators long for best function and most even effluent distribution.
Unless you are installing as a "bed" system where the chambers are right next to each other , leave at least six feet of undisturbed soil between fingers. In practice, this six feet of undisturbed soil between trenches becomes eight feet or more since you don't want to compact the soil above the Infiltrators; one should allow at least the width of the backhoe between trenches.
And don't forget to loosen the soil twelve inches below bottom of the trench scarify before installing the Infiltrators leach chambers. The worst mistake you can make is to compact smear the soil in bottom of a leach field trench. You want to be sure to loosen 'scarify' the soil to allow for proper percolation of effluent. No gravel is needed, but gravel is always an upgrade option to aid treatment and longevity in any soil.
G eotextile soil fabric atop chambers is not absolutely necessary. Infiltrator Plus series chambers are far superior to pipe-in-gravel in every aspect: smaller leach field size due to optimal percolation, large 47 gallon storage capacity per chamber, root infiltration protection for long term viability, and resistance to traffic with 16, pounds per axle load rating, given at least one foot of cover. There is an H traffic load rated Infiltrator chamber available that can handle 32, pounds per axle with at least 18 inches of compacted 'road base' soil above.
But mind you, driving over the top of any leach field is not recommended and may not be allowed by local building codes. When traffic is necessary, always drive perpendicular from the side, not down the length or even a load-rated chamber could collapse. Traffic rating is per axle, not per tire, assuming both tires hit at the same time. Maximum acceptable burial depth for Quick4 Plus chambers is determined by local site, soil, and groundwater conditions.
The manufacturer does not address maximum engineering depth other than to suggest no more than 8 feet to the top of the chamber. There is no accurate method to estimate how many Infiltrator chambers are required without digging test pits in area of leach field. A percolation test performed at depth of leach field can approximate soil absorption rate, but only a test pit at least six feet deep will confirm soil composition beneath the leach field, ensuring proper waste treatment is possible in the critical first three feet.
That equation typically takes into account '1. But that could be way off, depending upon actual soil percolation rate and estimate of daily usage. Bare minimum usage rate to estimate with is gallons per person per day. Therefore the building department often uses gallons per bedroom per day when sizing residential systems. Each chamber is 12 square feet of base area and 8 square feet of sidewall area.
There is a huge difference between what is 'possible' to percolate daily and what is best for sewage treatment to prevent contamination of groundwater. The larger the leach field, the better the treatment of wastewater.
All 'gravel-less' leach field chamber system brands function by the same set of physical limitations, regardless of marketing claims. Installation tips are not required, but there are always 'good, better, best' methods of approaching any construction project. This only works with a lift station 'dosing tank' to send a couple hundred gallons of effluent out at one time. When specified, non-pressurized systems strap 4 inch perforated pipe either side of the structural columns found on Quick4 Plus design.
It is not recommended to run distribution pipe along the base of the trench since that area can be flooded at times should percolation rate be slow. Several inches of gravel atop chambers with a layer of geotextile fabric on top and sides is common practice in sandy or silty soils.
B est practice is to limit trench lengths to about 50 foot 12 to 13 four foot long chambers for full trench saturation and best treatment of effluent. Always vent the ends of each chamber run to ensure healthy air flow through system.
Inspection port at end of each run must be drilled with holes to provide venting. Air is pulled through the chambers and out the plumbing vent atop roof of house. Fresh air and healthy soil are critical for long-term viability of leach fields.
Larger holes are discouraged to prevent insects from nesting in the vent port. By allowing air to draft through chambers, you provide oxygen to an otherwise sealed cavity. Encouraging aerobic oxygen-based bacteria to prosper inside the leach field helps keep soil healthy and limits the growth of bio-mat anaerobic no-oxygen build-up from septic effluent particulates.
Bio-mat formation is what eventually clogs soil, stops percolation, and causes leach fields to fail. Take with a grain of salt, any claims of "superior" systems such as the Eljen GSF 'geotextile sand filter' with passive advanced treatment technology. In our experience, clients very rarely concern themselves with more effective treatment of wastewater, but rather the ultimate longevity of their leach field.
Chamber systems have the major advantage of a very large surge volume, something niche systems like the Eljen GSF geotextile sand filter do not offer.
In the long run, having a larger retention area for daily surge potential is what keeps a leach field from failing, not shiny bells and whistles. We recommend installing the largest septic tank possible for optimal settling and filtration before wastewater reaches the leach field rather than investing in wastewater treatment gimmicks. Don't even consider Easy Flow 'engineered drain systems' which combine corrugated slotted pipe wrapped with geotextile fabric and expanded polystyrene aggregate packing peanuts held in place with a netting wrap.
