We will also teach you about pumps, controls, alarms, and timers; the basic components common to most I/A technologies; media filters; aerobic treatment units; drainfield options; and operation & maintenance. After the classroom discussion, the class will head out into the field to visit several I/A technologies installed under the County’s Septic Demonstration program.
