Aerobic septic systems use a pump or aerator to introduce dissolved oxygen into the septic tank. This process is called aeration and it helps aerobic bacteria grow and thrive. Aerobic bacteria consume organic material and can consume up to 98% of solids in your septic system. This is why it’s important to keep that pump or aerator in proper working order so your aerobic septic system is operating at peak efficiency.
