Plastic Products for the Precaster and Wastewater Professional
Introducing the
new way to dose septic systems...
The Flout™ Dosing Distrubution Device
Also known as the
Floating Outlet™
The
advantages of Septic Disposal Field Dosing are well known.
The usual dosing chamber uses a self starting "bell"
siphon, with a design dating back over 100 years. For the
precaster and the installer, siphons pose difficulties in
building, shipping, and installing because they project
below the bottom of the chamber floor. For the owner and
the operator, they pose the problems of clogging and loss
of prime. The Flout™ eliminates these problems with
a simple, easy to install design! In use since 1993, the
Flout™ is proving itself in many installations across
the US, Canada, and around the world.
Easy Install - No priming, Reliable
operation
Easy to Build - Outlets install in
wall, not under floor
Easy Transportation - Flat bottom chamber
with no projecting trap
Proven
Performance and Reliability!
Installed 1994 at the Cornwall
Consolidated School in Cornwall, CT this Flout has
reliably dosed hundreds of thousands of gallons of
effluent without missing a cycle!
The first
3" FLOUT™ was installed in 1993 in Andover,
CT. Even today, 13 years later this unit is still
as reliable as the day it was installed. View a video
of this unit:
HOW IT WORKS
As
effluent from the septic tank fills the chamber, the Flout™(Fig.1)
is empty , buoyant, and floats on the surface. High quality,
flexible connectors allow the Flout™ to rise. When
the effluent reaches the maximum level in the chamber (Fig.2),
it spills into the opening in the top of the Flout™.
This causes the Flout™ to sink (Fig.3).
The effluent now discharges through the pipe exiting the
chamber (Fig.4) dosing the septic field,
and as with multiple outlet units, achieving precise distribution.
The chamber continues to empty down to the top of the Flout™(Fig.5).
Then the Flout™ empties and resumes floating to repeat
another cycle(Fig.1).

Why
choose a Floating Outlet™ instead of a siphon?
•Simple,
dependable design
•Easy to produce, transport, install, and maintain
•Various outlet arrangements and drawdowns starting
at 8 inches
•More available drawdown than siphons
•Precise distribution with multi-outlet units
•Many other uses including agriculture and stormwater
control
Single
outlet units deliver a simple dosing solution
Multi-outlet
units provide dosing, precise distribution,
and higher flow rates
Easy to Build - Outlets install in
wall, not under floor
