About SepticJohn
SepticJohn - A Whole Household Wastewater Incinerator System
SepticJohn incinerators offer a groundbreaking approach to wastewater management. Unlike traditional septic systems that rely on large leach fields, mound systems, or anaerobic treatment, SepticJohn systems process all wastewater into a small amount of sterile ash. This makes them ideal for:
Challenging Installations: Where traditional septic systems fail due to soil conditions (poor percolation) or space limitations.
New Developments: Offering a sustainable and efficient solution for both residential and commercial projects.
Key Benefits:
Compact Design: Requires minimal space, making it perfect for small lots or areas with limited land availability.
Environmentally Friendly: Eliminates the need for leach fields, preventing groundwater contamination and reducing environmental impact.
Efficient Operation: All wastewater is effectively evaporated, and solid waste is completely incinerated into easily disposable ash.
Reliable and Durable: Provides a long-lasting and maintenance-free solution for your wastewater needs.
Choose SepticJohn for a clean, efficient, and environmentally responsible way to manage your household wastewater.

Current Issues with Failing Septic Tanks
1. Water Contamination
• Groundwater Pollution: When a septic system fails, untreated wastewater can leach into the surrounding soil and contaminate groundwater, which may be used as a source of drinking water. This contamination can lead to serious health issues if harmful bacteria, viruses, or chemicals enter the water supply.
• Surface Water Contamination: Septic tank effluent can reach nearby rivers, lakes, or streams, leading to nutrient pollution. Excess nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus, can cause algal blooms, which deplete oxygen in the water and harm aquatic life.
2. Soil and Environmental Degradation
• Soil Contamination: Wastewater from a failing septic tank can cause soil to become saturated with harmful substances, such as bacteria, viruses, and chemical contaminants, reducing its quality.
• Wetland Impact: When untreated wastewater reaches natural wetlands, it can disturb the ecosystem, harm wildlife, and affect the natural filtration function of these areas.
3. Health Risks
• Exposure to Pathogens: Humans and animals may come into contact with harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites from wastewater, increasing the risk of diseases like gastroenteritis, hepatitis, and other infections.
• Nitrate Poisoning: High levels of nitrates in drinking water from septic tank leaks can lead to health problems, particularly for infants, who are at risk of developing a condition called methemoglobinemia or “blue baby syndrome.”
4. Structural Damage
• Property Damage: Failing septic systems can cause wastewater to back up into homes, leading to property damage and the need for expensive repairs. It can also cause unpleasant odors, making the living environment uncomfortable.
• Land Instability: The saturation of the ground with wastewater can weaken the soil structure, potentially causing sinkholes or other forms of land subsidence.
5. Legal and Financial Issues
• Regulatory Fines: Many areas have laws governing the maintenance and performance of septic systems, and failing to comply can result in fines or legal penalties.
• High Repair or Replacement Costs: Repairing or replacing a failed septic system can be expensive, and homeowners’ insurance may not cover the costs.
6. Environmental Impact
• Eutrophication: Excess nutrients from septic tank leaks contribute to the rapid growth of algae in water bodies. When the algae die, they decompose, depleting oxygen in the water and causing fish kills and loss of aquatic biodiversity.
The SepticJohn product line has systems that can process up to 300 gal/day.
