Tru-Flow® for Drain Fields

Texas, United States
Problem

A field in Texas was experiencing uneven distribution of wastewater across the drain field that ed to a worrisome consequence — wherein all effluent gravitated toward a single lateral.  Though several attempts were made to correct this issue, without a perfectly level distribution device, responsible inspection, and careful burial, all effluent would flow to only one lateral.

Solution

Enter Zoeller Pumps Co’s Tru-Flow Splitter System. The Tru-Flow® Splitter System is designed to outlast concrete distribution boxes due to its sturdy, non-corrodible polypropylene frame. This innovative splitter system will evenly split effluent into between two and five lines. The Tru-Flow® unit can tolerate settlement of as much as 15º front-to-back (30º total) and/or 12º side-to-side (24º total). Even with the housing out of level, the unit will evenly split effluent when the diverter is adjusted properly. The Splitter System works with all gravity flows and can receive pumped effluent up to 30 gpm. This unique design has no parts to wear out and utilizes non-corrodible materials.

The Tru-Flow Splitter System brought a transformative shift, transcending the limitations imposed by uneven installations, soil coverage variations, and inevitable settling. With its innovative design, this system achieved the elusive goal of even distribution among the diverse outlets, regardless of the inherent challenges posed by imperfect levels and ground conditions.

Equipped with an inspection port, a level mechanism, and a movable tray, this flow-splitting device offered a groundbreaking advantage of post-installation adjustments. This feature enables meticulous tweaking and fine-tuning, ensuring optimal performance even after the burial process.

Result

Through the integration of the Tru-Flow® Splitter System, the elusive dream of uniform effluent distribution became a reality, defying the odds posed by terrain nuances and settling dynamics. Its adaptable design and post-installation adjustability stand as testaments to its remarkable efficacy, bringing a newfound level of precision and reliability to septic system functionality.
