Steps To Clean Your Effluent Filter

  • First of all, wear proper PPEs such as gloves, safety cloth, and shoes.
  • Remove the septic tank access lid. The access lid removing process is very easy if it is above the surface of the ground. If the septic tank lid is buried, you will first need to find it.
  • After removing the lid, you can proceed further and detach the different elements connected to the filter and remove the filter.
  • Place the filter over the first manway (because that’s where organic waste is preserved) so that any waste escaping from the filter can return to the tank. In case of filter drains into the wrong manway, the raw sewage may fall into the drainage area.
  • After removing the filter from the tank housing, use a water hose to spray the cartridge to eliminate any media that may have adhered to it.
  • Remove any solids remaining in the filters. Check the adjustment holes and vents to make sure that there is no trapped debris. If you find dirt, remove it by spraying it with a hose.
  • Now, reinstall the cartridge, secure it in the saddle holes, and wipe up any spillage around it.
  • Put the lid on the septic tank.
  • After the cleaning process, change your clothes immediately.
