Time-Dose Controls
Time-Dose Septic Controls
When installing a new septic system, one of the most impactful upgrades you can choose is a Time-Dosed Control Panel. While standard systems rely on gravity or "demand dosing" (where water is sent to the drainfield whenever the tank gets full), time-dosing provides a smarter, more regulated approach to wastewater management.
How Time-Dosed Controls Work
At its core, a time-dosed system uses a programmable timer to regulate exactly when and how much effluent is sent to your drainfield.
Storage: Instead of rushing out immediately, wastewater is held in a "dose tank."
Regulation: The control panel is programmed with specific "on" and "off" times (e.g., discharging for 2 minutes every 4 hours).
Consistency: Even during high-use periods—like hosting a party or doing five loads of laundry—the system continues to discharge the same small, manageable pulses of water throughout a 24-hour period.
Why Install Them on New Systems?
Installing time-dosed controls on a new system is an investment in the longevity of your property. Here is why professionals recommend them:
Prevents "Hydraulic Overloading": The #1 cause of septic failure is saturating the soil with too much water at once. Time-dosing ensures the soil has "rest periods" to breathe and process nutrients between doses.
Optimal Biological Treatment: Septic systems rely on aerobic bacteria in the soil. By delivering small, consistent doses, you maintain the perfect environment for these bacteria to thrive, resulting in cleaner groundwater.
Warning Systems: Each time-dose system is also required to have a high water alarm system installed. If there’s a leak or a pump issue, the alarm will notify you immediately, often before a backup or overflow occurs.
Ease of Use: Installation and time-dose settings to provide optimal flow and use is simple with New Septic Solutions Time-Dose Panels.
By choosing a time-dosed system today, you are protecting your drainfield from premature failure and ensuring your new system runs at peak efficiency for decades to come.
