Easy Flow Drain Field

Drain Field with Easy Flow

The EZFlow drainfield is a technology that has been in use for over ten years. The disadvantage of a stone-and-pipe drain field is its inability to collect water. Stone carries a limestone dust. Although the stone is cleaned before installation, it doesn’t get rid of all dust. Any dust that remains on the stone is washed into soil to prevent soil clogging. This can reduce the life expectancy of a septic tank. This disadvantage was overcome by EZ-Flows.

The EZ-Flow drainfield size depends on how many gallons per day a residence or business produces and how much soil is being loaded. These two factors determine how large the EZ-Flow drainfield must be. A drainfield of 900 square feet is required for a home with three bedrooms that has a soil test at a loading rate of 0.5.

Benefits:

1. Always clean and free from fines
2. Bundles can be quickly installed, which saves money on heavy machinery and labor
3. Gravelless leachfield and septic pipe
4. Modular construction permits configurations that match trench dimensions for all system shapes and sizes.
5. Constructed to maximize storage and absorption efficiency
6. Capability to contour around trees and landscaping on sloped sites
7. This lightweight system is ideal for repairs and tight job sites
8. Hand-carried easily into place, reducing labor time
9. With simple snap-on internal couplers, you can get lengths of 5′ and 10′.
10. Eliminating stones makes cleanup easier
11. Made from recycled materials and not from a natural resource.
12. There are many configurations and diameters available to suit the needs of any professional who installs.
13. Approved in numerous jurisdictions with a higher efficiency rating, which reduces the size of drainfields
14. Supported by the industry leader in onsite wastewater

You Use Ez Drain For Septic

EZflow is compatible with almost all septic leach fields and leach beds. EZflow is compatible with any type of pipe and stone. This includes installation of trenches, beds, and elevated mounds.

There Is A Difference Between Ez Flow And Ez Drain

The EZflow system was designed to improve the performance of drainfields by eliminating fines, reducing compaction, and embedment as a result of stone.

Each bead should perform similarly; the Transmissivity (flow through each system) will also be similar. This will be one to two orders of magnitude higher than native soils. Manufacturing considerations have resulted in the EZDrain bead being smaller.

For The Installation Of The Conventional Component, Trenches Or Cells Are Dug

A three-bedroom home with a soil test of 0.5 needs a drainfield measuring 900 feet. Each EZ-Flow is 50 square feet. This example requires 18 individual EZFlows. EZ-Flows have one drawback: they take up more space than a pipe drainfield and stone.

To install the conventional component, first trenches are dug. Each trench must be dug to the same level at the bottom so that the effluent is distributed evenly within the cell. Most trenches are dug at the exact same elevation. Some trenches, however, are dug at different heights due to a shallow limiting factor or a sloped contour. The EZ-Flows are installed in the trench as the trench is dug. Each trench has two observation wells that can be used for monitoring. The governing authority inspects the trenches before they are filled. Finally, the trench can be backfilled.

You Drive Over Ez Drain

EZflow drainage systems can withstand wheel loading of one pass and light vehicle loads up to 16,000 lbs each axle, provided that the product is installed in a trench with 12 inches of compacted soil placed over the bundles.

Ez Flow System For Septic Treatment

Infiltrator’s EZflow septic systems can improve infiltration performance by eliminating fines, reducing compaction, and embedment as a result of crushed stone. EZflow products have been certified by IAPMO as well as the ICC-ES PMG Listing Program. The disadvantage of a stone- and pipe-drain field is that it can be difficult to maintain. Stone carries a limestone dust.

You Should Bury the Ez Drain

6 inches

*EZflow drainage systems should be placed at least 6 inches below any existing or planned subsurface irrigation lines. ** Trenches with low-permeability clay soils should be placed with at least 4 inches of permeable backing.
