Hi folks,
Just had a new gravity fed chambered leach field installed. Effluent is pumped up/over to a distribution box that then gravity feeds four lines. All was fine until the installer installed flow levelers to even out the effluent flow to the field. Now whenever the pump pushes water into the d box the d box overflows and floods the lawn. Installer wants to install a ball valve on inflow line to slow the flow from the pump to the d box. I'm worried this " solution" is really a cop out fix for a too small d box and will stress out the pump and shorten its life. What is the best solution to the d box overflow problem?
Thanks
