How time-dosed controls work
By choosing a time-dosed system today, you are protecting your drain field from premature failure and ensuring your new system runs at peak efficiency for decades to come.
At its core, a time-dosed system uses a programmable timer to regulate exactly when and how much effluent is sent to your drain field.
-
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 o r doing five loads of laundry—the system continues to discharge the same small, manageable pulses of water throughout 24-hour period.
-
Alarm: The alarm will sound if too much water is entering the system from a leaky toilet or tank riser.
