septic tank filter may be installed at the outlet end of a septic tank to prevent suspended solids from entering the disposal fields.  The filter is a slotted cylinder that reduces the size of any solids that may escape the septic tank.   The filter is designed to handle the flow of the system it serves and should not result in excess maintenance.  (See maintaining your system).

Installing a septic tank filter has the overall benefit of saving money in replacement and maintenance costs as well as providing the owner and the environment with added protection.
