Understanding American Manufacturing Perc-Rite Maintenance: How the Drip System Protects Your Water

If your property or home is equipped with a drip dispersal system, you may be all too familiar with the American Manufacturing Perc-Rite® system: a proven, high-performance solution for wastewater treatment. But as with any sophisticated system, it must be properly maintained to continue operating effectively and to safeguard your water.

Here in this blog, we will explain how this system functions and give you the most important drip system maintenance tips so that you can safeguard your home, your well-being, and the world around you.

What Is the Perc-Rite® Drip System?

The Perc-Rite® system is a form of drip dispersal septic system that was created by American Manufacturing. It treats and distributes wastewater into the soil evenly. While conventional septic systems might dump effluent simultaneously, this system emits it in slow and controlled doses.

This prevents soil oversaturation, eliminates contamination chances, and ensures long-term performance of the system.

Why Proper Maintenance Matters

Regular Perc-Rite maintenance keeps the system running smoothly and continues to safeguard your water. A dull drip system can produce clogs, uneven dispersal, or even wastewater backups.

Some of the most important septic system care advantages with regular maintenance include the following:

• Keeps your system clog-free and running efficiently
• Decreases the risk of soil or groundwater pollution
• Safeguards your investment by prolonging the lifespan of your system
• Prevents you from spending money on expensive emergency repairs

Signs Your Perc-Rite® System Needs Service

Look out for the following warning signs:

• Wet spots or soggy areas close to your dispersal area
• Warning alarms from your system control panel
• Strange smells around your drain field or your house
• Slow drains or gurgling noises through your plumbing

If you observe any of these things, it’s time to have a professional come and inspect.
