Aerobic System Sprinklers

Last month I wrote about our aerobic septic system.  There seemed to be some interest in that so I wanted to show the sprinklers that I mentioned in action.  Normally, these are on a timer and go off around 2:00am.  However, if we use more water than normal, they will go off during the day.  This happens sometimes when we have company.  And, I was able to get pictures of one of them in action the other day. 

There is another sprinkler, like this one, farther out past the white building.  Between the 2 of them, they can dispose of a lot of water.   There is no smell what so ever in the water that comes out.  This is a result of the aerobic decomposition used and the fact that, after the water is processed by the aerobic bacteria in the waste chamber of the septic system, it flows over a basket that contains chlorine tablets into the holding tank where it waits until the sprinklers come on.  The chlorine tablets are specifically made for this purpose.
