Venting & Vent Disguises

Ongoing research proves that any onsite septic system will work better and last longer if it has a sufficient oxygen supply.  For this reason, PEI is now recommending venting on all Advanced Enviro-Septic™ (AES) and Enviro-Septic® Systems.  Given the minimal cost and effort it takes to add a vent to either a new or existing system, the benefits far outweigh any perceived detriments.

Venting has been demonstrated to improve the functioning of the system and enhance its life-span.

Remote Venting

Vents can be located to a remote area of the site where they can be virtually invisible.  This involves nothing more than running a length of PVC underground away from the system to a spot where the vent is less noticeable: past the tree line, next to a tree or light pole, behind the garage, wherever it no longer creates an eyesore.

Remotely locating vents removes “candy canes” from the yard.

Hide remote vents with paint and foliage. The high vent is the light.
