What is the purpose of a septic aeration system?

The purpose of a septic aeration system is to introduce oxygen into the wastewater, which significantly enhances the process of breakdown of organic material. This oxygenation promotes the growth of aerobic bacteria, which are more efficient at decomposing waste compared to anaerobic bacteria that operate in low-oxygen environments. As a result, the decomposition process is faster, leading to more effective treatment of the wastewater. By increasing the oxygen levels, the septic aeration system improves the overall efficiency of the septic system, ensuring that it operates optimally and maintains the quality of effluent being discharged.
