Tough Problem: Solids entering the septic field significantly reduce the life of the field, resulting in premature failure of the entire system.
TUF-TITE Solution: The EF Series Effluent Filters, filter solids down to 1/16”, increasing the life of your septic.
Tuf-Tite® EF Series Effluent Filterss
• Injection molded HDPE
• Non-corrosive
• Simple to install
• 1/16" Filtration
In a septic environment, no other material can match High Density Polyethylene in delivering a lifetime of trouble-free service. Tuf-Tite Distribution Boxes are injection molded, using only premium HDPE which contains no fillers or foam.
Tuf-Tite Effluent Filters are designed to extend the life of your drainfield by preventing solids from leaving the septic tank. The filter fits into either a 4” or 6” Tee Baffle which in many cases is already attached to the outlet pipe. If a Tee Baffle is not installed, install as shown in Figure 2, allowing enough clearance from the end of the tank to permit easy filter access.
1. Insert the filter into the Tee Baffle with arrow on the top of the filter pointing toward the outlet pipe (as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2).
2. Push down firmly until top of the filter seats into hub of the Baffle Tee.
Maintenance:
Tuf-Tite Effluent Filters will, under normal conditions, operate efficiently for several years or more before requiring removal and cleaning. It is suggested that the unit be cleaned every time the tank is pumped or at least every three years.
1. Do not use plumbing during filter cleaning.
2. Pull the filter straight out of the Tee.
3. Hose filter off, making sure that all solids fall back into the septic tank, not back into the Tee Baffle.
4. Replace filter as in installation instructions above.
