What is the maximum allowable squirt height difference for the entire pressure distribution system?

The maximum allowable squirt height difference for the entire pressure distribution system is set at 32%. This threshold is crucial for maintaining the performance and functionality of the system. When the height difference exceeds this limit, it can lead to uneven distribution of effluent, which may result in some areas receiving too much flow while others receive too little. This imbalance can cause system overload, create anaerobic conditions, and ultimately lead to failures in the septic system.

A maximum squirt height difference of 32% ensures that the pressure remains consistent throughout the system, allowing for uniform distribution of treated effluent. By adhering to this standard, septic installers can help ensure optimal system performance, reduce maintenance issues, and prolong the lifespan of the system. This figure is based on established practices and regulations in the industry, reflecting a balance between practical installation considerations and effective system operation.
