Abstract
A monitor for an effluent disposal system for preventing suspended solids in an effluent from clogging a disposal field. A separate monitor housing having an inlet and an outlet is installed in the piping interconnecting a septic tank to a disposal field. A screening system in the housing screens out suspended solids. As the solids accumulate on the screening system over a period of time, the fluid level raises, actuating a float operated switch connected to means to signal that the system needs servicing. An additional float operated switch can be provided for indicating saturation of the disposal field.
