Septic Tank Aeration and its Solar Powered


Check out our videos!

the problem:

Septic tanks are the number one controllable contributor of greenhouse gases and groundwater pollution. 80% of the 150 million septic tanks in the US are overloaded. Aeration of existing septic tank systems can improve treatment operation up to 2000% overnight. Using solar powered aerators can do this with no increase in grid power consumption or cost.

why it's important:

Holding your breath, or not passing gas, or moving your lifestyle back to the stone age is not a practical solution to global warming.

According to the AIA, septic tanks, sewers, and landfills are the number one sources of controllable ground water remediation and greenhouse gas reduction in the USA. Septic tanks, sewers and ground water aeration devices reduce the production of greenhouse gases while improving water quality naturally and with a zero carbon footprint.

the plan of action:

Promote solar powered septic tank aeration systems.

how you can get involved:

Promote the aeration of existing septic tanks using solar power.
