Aerobic Septic System Help & Troubleshooting Videos
Homeowners often have questions about how their aerobic septic system works or what to do when something doesn’t seem right. These short videos explain common situations and simple troubleshooting steps for aerobic septic systems.
If your system continues to alarm or operate improperly, a licensed septic provider should inspect the system.
How to Silence an Aerobic Septic Alarm
āIf your begins sounding, the control panel will usually allow you to temporarily silence the audible alarm while you determine the cause of the issue.
In most systems, pressing the alarm reset or silence button will stop the beeping sound. The warning light may remain on to indicate that the system still requires attention.
It’s important to remember that silencing the alarm does not fix the underlying problem. Aerobic septic alarms typically indicate issues such as high water levels, pump problems, or aerator failure.

How to Replace an Aerobic Septic Spray Head
Aerobic septic spray heads distribute treated wastewater across the spray field. Over time, can become clogged, damaged, or worn and may need to be replaced. Replacing a spray head is usually a straightforward process and typically involves removing the old head and threading a new one onto the riser. This video demonstrate how spray heads can be replaced and what homeowners should look for when inspecting their system. If spray heads continue to clog or the system is not spraying properly, the issue may involve the pump, pressure, or filtration system and may require a serive call by a licensed septic maintenance provider.
Spray heads are designed to work quietly in the background. When they stop cooperating, it’s usually a sign something needs attention. That's where we come in... Coleman Aerobic is standing by and ready to serve.

How to Adjust an Aerobic Septic Spray Head
Aerobic septic spray heads are designed to distribute treated wastewater evenly across the spray field. Over time, spray heads can shift slightly or may need minor adjustment to ensure the spray pattern is directed properly.
This video demonstrates how to adjust an aerobic septic spray head and what to look for when checking the spray pattern. Proper adjustment helps prevent overspray and ensures the system distributes water the way it was designed. If spray heads are not operating correctly or appear to be clogged, damaged, or spraying irregularly, the issue may involve pressure, filtration, or pump performance and may require inspection by a licensed septic maintenance provider.

How to Clean an Aerobic Septic Spray Head
Aerobic septic spray heads distribute treated wastewater across the spray field. Over time, spray heads can become mineral buildup, or sediment, which may affect how evenly the water is dispersed. This video demonstrates how to clean an aerobic septic spray head and what to look for when checking the spray pattern. Keeping spray heads clean helps maintain your system. If a spray head becomes clogged, damaged, or is spraying irregularly, the issue may involve pressure, filtration, or pump performance and may require inspection by a licensed septic maintenance provider.

How to Set and Adjust an Aerobic Septic Spray Head Timer
Aerobic septic systems use a timer-controlled pump to distribute treated wastewater through the spray heads at specific intervals throughout the day. The timer helps regulate how often the system sprays and prevents the pump tank from discharging too much water at one time.
This video demonstrate how to set and adjust a spray head timer and explains how the timing cycles control when the system sprays. When adjusting a timer, it’s important to remember that spray cycles are typically set according to the system design and local permit requirements. Changing the timing too drastically may affect system performance or compliance with county regulations.
Why It’s Important to Have Your Aerobic Septic System Pumped
Over time, solids naturally accumulate in every septic system. Even in an aerobic septic system, sludge and scum gradually build up in the trash tank as wastewater from the home is processed.
If these solids are not removed periodically, they can begin to move through the system and interfere with
important components such as pumps, aerators, and spray heads.
when needed helps:
• prevent solids from entering other parts of the system
• protect pumps and mechanical components
• maintain proper treatment of wastewater
• extend the life of the septic system
Regular by a licensed maintenance provider helps determine when pumping is necessary. While every system is different, monitoring sludge levels ensures the system continues operating the way it was designed.
Something to noodle...Aerobic systems treat wastewater — but they don’t make solids disappear.
How to Add Chlorine to an Aerobic Septic System
Aerobic septic systems use to disinfect treated wastewater before it is dispersed through the spray heads. Keeping chlorine in the system helps ensure the treated water is properly disinfected before it reaches the spray field.
This video demonstrates how to safely add chlorine tablets to the chlorinator tube and what homeowners should look for when checking chlorine levels. When adding chlorine, it is important to use chlorine tablets specifically designed for aerobic septic systems. Pool tablets or other chlorine products can damage system components and should not be used.
