Built for tight sites

What you can build is often limited by what your septic situation allows. These are the sites the panel was made for.

Why choose T&J Panel

Decades of research, testing and engineering went into an onsite system that does more in less ground, and keeps doing it.

Increased Capacity

Each panel holds effluent like a small tank, for nearly three times the capacity of stone and pipe.

Cleaner Output

Multi-stage aerobic treatment means cleaner water reaches the soil, and biomat clogging is held back.

Smaller Footprint

Up to 50% less drain field area, so more of the property is yours to use.

Maintenance Free

Properly designed and installed, it is built to outlast every system in its class.

Every panel is a small treatment tank

Think of the drain field as a network of miniature septic tanks, each one holding effluent and treating it before it ever reaches the soil.

01

Hold

Heat-treated aggregate creates thousands of micro-pores in every granule, storing far more than gravel.

02

Treat

The block matrix, geotextile fabric and sand envelope form a highly aerobic zone for filtration and microbial treatment.

03

Release

Pretreated effluent percolates readily into native soil, so the soil interface stays open for decades.
