Save Backyard space with an advanced septic system in West Sacramento, California.

Septic Tank Problem:

Building a home near the Sacramento River and other water bodies in West Sacramento, California, comes with its challenges. Small lot sizes and high groundwater levels can make things tricky. One expectation that might surprise you is the need to install a mound septic system. This system takes up more than half of your backyard. It is part of your OWTS, or Onsite Wastewater Treatment System. This is especially important due to the proximity to these sensitive water areas.

This young family had to look at the ugly mound system from their dining room and kitchen for many years. The mound was in the middle of their backyard and took up a lot of space, so they could not enjoy their backyard with friends and family. The mound was more than just an eyesore; when it failed, it made their backyard hazardous.

This needed quick action because the contaminants could harm the health of the family and the public health.

Septic Tank Solution:

Because the groundwater level is high, the soil type is poor, and there is limited space, they knew a traditional system could not replace the existing system. The Mound and Sand Filter Systems were among the first alternative systems approved in Yolo County, California. The local agency management program (LAMP), part of the California OWTS policy, now includes more eco-friendly systems as alternative septic systems.

Septic Engineer David Dauwalder used the results from the last soil test. He looked at the shallow soil, soil condition, and soil type. This key information and the new regulation approvals helped them choose the best OWTS for the property.

The newly engineered system design considered various crucial factors to ensure its effectiveness and compliance with California septic system regulations. Soil conditions were assessed through Perc and Mantle tests, alongside considerations for the water table, site evaluations, and local regulations. Implementing advanced septic systems like the Hoot H600 BNR (Basic Nitrogen Reduction) Treatment Tank showcases a significant advancement in wastewater treatment technology.

Incorporating the Geoflow Subsurface drip dispersal septic system for the drain field demonstrates innovation and promotes sustainable septic solutions. This system efficiently treats wastewater while reducing environmental impact, aligning with California's stringent septic system regulations aimed at protecting the environment and public health.

Integrating these advanced technologies reflects a commitment to environmental responsibility and ensuring that septic systems are effective and sustainable in the long term. By prioritizing both efficiency and eco-friendliness, the newly engineered septic systems design sets a high standard for modern wastewater treatment practices.

The Hoot BNR (Basic Nitrogen Reduction) H600 stands out with its innovative design incorporating all the septic treatment into one septic tank, allowing homeowners to use their entire backyard for family activities. Its requirement of just one excavation minimizes space usage, streamlines installation time, and cuts expenses. In addition to these benefits, the H600 surpasses traditional septic treatments, and other approved advanced septic systems in Yolo County, California. Its advanced technology ensures efficient wastewater treatment, promoting environmental sustainability while meeting regulatory standards. The Hoot BNR H600 is an excellent choice for homeowners seeking a reliable, cost-effective solution that prioritizes performance and space efficiency.

The Hoot BNR (Basic Nitrogen Reduction) consists of five sections. The initial section is the Pre-Treatment compartment, also known as the trash tank. This is where wastewater from the home enters the treatment unit. This section holds non-biodegradable materials and starts the anaerobic breakdown of the sewage. Following this stage, the wastewater is directed to the next section, where it undergoes treatment in an aerobic environment that promotes waste breakdown by aerobic digestion. The air circulating through the chamber brings the activated sludge up from the bottom of the tank. This sludge returns to the system for further treatment to help lower possible contamination. The last treatment takes place in the Clarification chamber. Here, the organic matter settles, and the clear effluent rises. This clear water goes to the pump chamber for extra treatment, like UV light disinfection. As the pump tank fills up, the effluent goes to the chosen dispersal system method for spreading it out by gravity feed, pressure dose, or being pumped to a drain field.

Hoot produces effluent that results in a 98% decrease in CBOD5, a 99% reduction in TSS, and a 99% conversion rate of ammonia (NH3), significantly outperforming traditional systems. Because of the effluent's water quality, we recommend utilizing the Geoflow subsurface drip dispersal system. Regularly maintaining onsite wastewater treatment systems, as outlined in the OWTS policy, is essential to ensure optimal functionality, especially in areas with elevated water tables.

All the issues were effectively resolved after installing the Hoot H600 single-tank advanced septic treatment system with a drip distribution system. This innovative system is precisely engineered to adapt to fluctuations in the water table, ensuring efficient operation. Using drip tubing to disperse the effluent enhances the system's functionality and adds value to the property.

The Hoot H600 system is an innovative and eco-friendly solution for sustainable wastewater management. This cutting-edge technology tackles existing septic system challenges and guarantees long-term dependability and effectiveness. By efficiently treating and dispersing effluent, this system assures homeowners that their septic requirements are being met effectively while simultaneously boosting the overall value of their property.

One key feature of the Hoot H600 system is its compact design, which makes it suitable for properties with limited space or challenging soil conditions. Its low energy consumption and minimal maintenance requirements make it a cost-effective choice for homeowners seeking an eco-friendly septic solution.

Furthermore, the Hoot H600 system's versatility allows it to be tailored to specific property needs, ensuring optimal performance in various environmental settings. Its robust construction and reliable operation make it a top choice for those looking to invest in a long-lasting and efficient wastewater management solution.

It's great to know that this family will enjoy their home, both inside and out, for many years.
