EcoFlo Septic System

I am sure this varies by region but for our (proposed) 3 bed 2 bath home we have several estimates in the
*20K price range. This is in the Finger Lakes area (NY).

This is down right crazy.
*20 grand and it does nothing but screw up a septic tank and cause home owners headaches.

In the Desert Southwest we are getting away from stone and pipe leach feilds and useing "Infiltrators" If your ground Perks they are worth looking into as they are easy to install, not very expensive and you can haul the whole leach feild in the back of you truck.

I hear quotes of around $12,000 quite frequently for a sand mound. I have one.
1*The only benefit to it is that more engineers have jobs. It is proven that they are a waste of money and work no better than a conventional septic system.
2*I am convinced that things like sand mounds were invented so that the worthless empty suits could have more company by hiring more empty suits to design and monitor this garbage.

Well stated & sad but true.
Generates revenue at the courthouse and keeps installers and suppliers in business also.
