Whether you are building a new home or need to replace an existing system, it is very important that you check out your options and see what works best for you. James Backhoe Service will provide you the knowledge you need to help you make that very important decision so that you will have a reliable system that will last you many years. The two types of wastewater treatment systems are sandfilters and aeration systems.

After hearing the pros and cons of the different types of septic systems available, more than 90% of the homeowners choose an aeration system. Please read the comparison chart below and you'll see why.

If you have questions about any other comparison factors, please don't hesitate to call us. We would be more than happy to explain your options to you.

After deciding what type of system you want, you'll probably be asking yourself "how do I know what size of system I need." For a sand filter, allow a minimum of 200 square feet per bedroom. For example, if your home has 3 bedrooms, a 600 square foot sand filter should be installed.

The Aqua Safe unit comes in many different sizes to suit your needs. The standard size is the 500 gallon per day system. This system treats up to 500 gallons of wastewater per day and has an actual capacity of 1000 gallons. This is usually suitable for up to a 4 bedroom home. As you can see pictured below, we also have sizes all the way up to a 1500 gallon per day system. Let James Backhoe Service help you choose a system that's right for you!
