LET'S DIG A HOLE & FILL IT WITH WATER

A percolation test - "perc test" - determines how quickly water is absorbed into the soil

A perc test determines the soil's ability to absorb water

 Percolation tests provide crucial information that is used to design, size & locate a septic system's dispersal field

 Several holes are dug in the areas of the proposed dispersal field & presoaked for a certain amount of time


The test begins by filling the holes with water to a certain level, then timing & measuring the water level drop, which determines the percolation rate

 Usually expressed in "inches per minute", the soil percolation rate is the number of inches the water level dropped over time
Example: test hole #1 showed a percolation rate of 3 inches in 30 minutes


If your property's perc rate is too fast or too slow, you may need to install an AquaKlear advanced treatment unit to mitigate your soil issues
