After living with city water and sewer my whole life, my wife and three kids moved to Cape Coral, FL and purchased a brand new home in August 2005 that was on a well and septic system. Within a year and a half we started to experience bubbling toilets after doing laundry and taking showers. The toilet bubbling quickly escalated into a backup into the shower, even after reducing water usage and installing ultra low flow shower heads. We had the tank pumped and that lasted for about another year until we needed to pump again. The period of pumping requirements increased in frequency to six month and then to four months. We had the tank pumped in late December 2009 and within four weeks the toilets were bubbling and the septic was backing up into the shower again. We looked into a terra lift at a cost of $1700, but with no guarantees. That is when I started doing research on the internet and came across Aero-Stream.com. The testimony from others and the science behind the aerobic remediation seemed to make sense so I did some additional research before purchasing the Aero Stream System. In addition to the system, I purchased a riser because I did not want to drill a hole through the concrete tank cap if it did not work. It has been nine weeks today (4/10/2010) since I had the tank pumped (2/13/2010), installed the riser and Aero Stream system and I have seen definite improvements. The toilets are no longer bubbling and we have had no backups into the shower. The lawn around the tank and drain field are no longer soggy and full of dollar weeds. Great Product!! It definitely did the job. I do not know why aerobic systems are not mandatory.Thanks for offering such a great product!
