"The Septic
Heater worked great and we did not have to worry about a freeze-up."

We put this heater over
one of the lodge’s septic tanks that serves a cabin that has freezing
problems in the past. Having this tank functioning properly is critical to
generating winter revenue for the owner. The cabin is usually only used on
the weekends. (Infrequent use adds to the freezing problem.) The Septic
Heater has kept the system from freezing and they have not had to close down
the cabin this winter. |

Excellent service."

This septic tank had to be
pumped several times prior to installing the S.H. After determining that
the pipe was not completely blocked, we installed the Septic Heater in the
drainfield. There was some ice present when we installed the heater, but
we had positive airflow so we proceeded with the installation. They have
not had to pump his tank since we installed the Septic Heater. |

"[The Septic Heater] is neat, compact,
and inconspicuous. Seems to be reliable and efficient.
Yes, I would recommend the Septic Heater to others, and I have two
people in mind."
|
| We installed this Septic Heater in the drainfield,
about 70 feet from the cabin.
This heater was placed at Roger’s “weekend” cabin where he had freezing
problems for the two prior winters.
This winter, with the Septic Heater installed, the septic system has not
frozen. |

“It
performs a necessary function for those of us with underutilized septic
systems … aka keeps us from freezing! As best as I can determine from
having a septic that was frozen and then thawed by professional steamer co
and not having it re-occur while using the septic heater, it saved me money
and time by not having to deal with frozen septic again, as it was easily
cold enough for the system to re-freeze.”

This Septic Heater is
installed above the septic tank located about 20 feet from the house. There
is only one person living in the house, so there is very limited water use.
(Minimal use adds to the freezing problem.) The pipe froze between the
house and the septic tank in late February, 2004. The line has not frozen
again since he installed the Septic Heater in early March. |

"The Septic Heater is working great. It is doing its job and I haven't had
to think about it. You can tell it's working from the house window."
"I would recommend the
Septic Heater to others and I have."
|
| Mark's septic system
had frozen up several times before we installed the Septic Heater on his
system. The Septic Heater is placed above the first drop box. It's
approximately 125 feet from the tank to the first drop box in the drainfield.
Since we installed the Septic Heater, his system has been functioning
properly with no freeze-ups. |

"[The Septic Heater] allows us to leave during the winter for a week or
more at a time without being concerned about freeze up. The heater appears
to thaw the ground around the tank and pipes. I would recommend the Septic
Heater to others."

We installed this Septic
Heater above the septic tank, about 80 feet from the house. The pipe
between the house and the tank had frozen twice this year, although it had
not frozen at all over the past 20 years. Freezing can be very
unpredictable. Richard’s system has not frozen up again since the Septic
Heater was installed. |

"Easy installation and at a glance you can see if it's working... We
did not need to pump or steam tanks."

Gary has a very large
septic system that serves several homes and rental cabins. The homes and
cabins are used sporadically over the winter months. (Sporadic use adds to
the freezing problem.) We installed a Septic Heater above the lowest
(deepest) of 3 septic tanks since heat rises and could make its way up
through the entire system. This septic system had freezing problems in the
past. This winter, with the Septic Heater installed, the septic system has
not frozen. |

"I like the peace of mind it gives; I don't have to worry about freeze-ups.
I didn't have to miss work, pay someone to thaw lines, or have the
inconvenience of not having a working septic system. The Septic Heater
saved me time, effort, money, and worry."

The pipe from the house to the septic tank
was freezing on a weekly basis this year. It is over 100 feet from the
house to the tank and there is a driveway going right over the line.
(Driving makes the frost penetrate deeper into the ground, adding to the
freezing problem.) The Septic Heater successfully prevented Jessica’s pipes
from freezing again. |

"After spending hundreds of dollars last year on our frozen septic system, I
thought, 'How could I prevent this?' I invented the Septic Heater and I
know it will save a lot of people a lot of headache, hassle, and money.
I
installed a prototype of the Septic Heater on our septic system early this
winter. I removed the prototype twice for 3 days each in order to use it as
a model for further development and our septic system froze up both times.
We obviously had freezing conditions and proved that the Septic Heater
works."
|
| The Septic Heater is
installed above the first drop box in the drainfield, which is approximately
230 feet from the tank. This
is an unusually long run that also goes under a driveway which makes it even
more susceptible to freezing. |

"Quite easy to install. It saved considerable time and money. I really

We put the Septic Heater
above the septic tank. The line from the building to the septic tank (about
65 feet), had been freezing about once a week. When we arrived to install
the heater, the pipes were already frozen. After Dan thawed the pipes, we
installed the Septic Heater. Dan’s septic system has not frozen up again. |

We put this heater on the
1st drop box of the drainfield. It is located about 70 feet from
the building. This is where they have had problems in the past. There was
a slight ice buildup in the drop box when the heater was installed. The
Septic Heater successfully prevented the system from freezing until we
removed it on March 17, 2004. We removed the unit because a part
malfunctioned. This issue has been resolved. |

“Our septic system froze 4 times last year. After a programming change was
made to the proto-type it prevented any more freeze-ups. I would
recommend this to others.”

This Septic Heater was
installed above the septic tank. The tank is located about 100 feet from
the building. The pipe between the building and the septic tank had been
freezing every week and a half, very predictably. This was our first test
on a septic tank (rather than in the drainfield). The system froze up
shortly after we installed the Septic Heater. We made an adjustment to the
programming of the heater to better accommodate tanks. After this
adjustment, the system did not freeze up again. |

The heater was installed above a septic tank,
prior to a lift station. The distance from the house to the tank is over
150 feet. Several small cabins are also connected to this line. The tank
had a layer of ice in it when we installed the Septic Heater. We had
positive airflow, so we knew that it was ok to install the Septic Heater on
this system even though ice existed. This system had freezing problems last
winter. This winter, with the Septic Heater installed, the septic system
has not frozen. |
