We have several products available to help extend the life of your septic system and ensure that your system operates properly and efficiently. If you have any questions about which product is right for you or if you would like to make a purchase, please contact us at 613-838-5500.
With Molded-in gasket. Available in 12”, 16", 20” and 24” diameters. Green Only. Includes screws. Fits directly on Risers or Safety Pan.
Optional Concrete Lid
Use the Safety Pan to cast your own concrete lids. If you do this, you still need a riser lid to go on top.
Septic Tank Safety Lid *Recommended
Use this safety lid in combination with the safety pan to prevent anything or anyone from falling in the hole if the top lid is opened. Fits 24" Riser Pan only. Black Only.
Safety Pan™
Safety Pan™ available for 20” and 24” Risers. Green Only. The safety pan is approximately 3" tall. Also may be used to cast a concrete lid before installation.
6" Tall Septic Tank Riser
For septic tanks. Stackable in 6” increments. Available in 12”, 20” and 24” diameters. Green.
12" Tall Septic Tank Riser
For septic tanks. Stackable in 12" increments. Available in 20” and 24” diameters. Now in Green instead of Black.
Septic Tank Adapter Ring
Used to mount riser or lid to tank. Available in 20" and 24". Use the adapter ring installation kit shown below to seal the adapter ring to the tank. Now in Green instead of Black.

The Wolverine is a powerful septic and sewer vent Biofilter that Installs in the attic, “inline” of the existing roof vent pipe and fits all vent sizes.
The Inline Wolverine ® is primarily designed for use in extreme cold climates and comes complete with an insulated blanket to prevent frosting. However, It can be installed in any climate where septic or sewer vent odour exists and the roof vent filter needs to be hidden, such as may be the case of some Homeowner Association rules. It is also equipped to accept installation of our unique, screw in Saturation Indicator. The saturation indicator simply changes colour to let you know when the carbon in your Inline Wolverine ® vent filter requires replacement.
The Inline Wolverine ® septic vent filter utilizes a specially formulated, Catalytic carbon called Sulfursorb that was specially developed for the removal of hydrogen sulphide, also known as H2S (the main source of sewer and septic gas odours), and other compounds from air streams. It is well suited for use in sewage treatment plants and pumping stations where these compounds are typically found. Sulfursorb gives you the high loading rates of impregnated carbons without the thermal risks associated with these chemically treated carbons. Sulfursorb can also be washed with water to improve its long-term performance.
While Catalytic carbon costs more than standard or impregnated activated carbons, the end result is that it has the adsorbing capabilities of activated carbon without the shorter life associated with chemically coated carbons. This translates into better septic and sewer odor removal with the added benefit of longer carbon bed life.

The Septic Protector was specifically designed to remove these damaging materials before they go down the drain and plug your system.
Most septic failures occur when the drainfield gets plugged with solids that were supposed to stay in the tank. Effluent filters, $50 to $100, are installed (by a contractor...not a do-it-yourself project) in the exit baffle of the tank and stop the LARGER solids from getting out to the drainfield. These filters are cleaned when you have your tank inspected...Cheap insurance and along with a washing machine filter, one of the best things you can do to protect your system from failure.
Think about this...in most cases when a septic system fails it's not the tank that is failing; it's because the drainfield/soil got plugged-up with solids and will no longer allow water to pass through it. Pretty simple isn't it. One of the best ways to prevent solids from plugging the soil is by using filters (gee, that was a tough one). Washing machines are a leading source of the solids that plug drainfields.
A typical family discharges enough lint every year to carpet a living room floor! Lint screens and nylon socks trap less than 5% of these contaminates. These minute particles, because they are so small and light, do not settle in the septic tank, rather they stay in suspension and are flushed out to the drainfield where they actually plug-up the pores of the soil bed.
To compound the problem much of our clothing and carpeting is now manufactured with synthetics, polyester, nylon etc... Septic systems do not breakdown plastics! Once these non-organic materials enter the drainfield, there is no way to remove them.

Recent interest in wastewater treatment and disposal has led to the use of additives, stimulators, or enhancers for a septic system. It has been suggested that additives can be used in a septic system to accelerate digestion of biosolids, break up scum, improve settling through coagulation, or rejuvenate a clogged soil absorption system.
However, it should be understood that, in most cases, the purpose of using an additive is to digest or "liquefy/gasify" the solids in a septic tank, rejuvenate stressed bacterial populations in the septic tank, or improve the settling ability of solids in the septic tank.
There are two distinct categories of additives used in a septic system: 1) chemical includes inorganic and organic compounds and 2) biological, includes yeast, bacteria, and enzymes. There are approximately 1,200 additive products on the market today, many of which contain enzymes that can be purchased through septic tank pumpers, discount stores, and chemical companies.
The beneficial effects of biological additives on the septic system are still being debated, but two benefits may ultimately be identified. Based on available literature, enzymatic products might have the ability to reduce the amount of oil and grease in the septic tank. Second, under septic tank bacterial "die-off" conditions, slight reductions in the amount of effluent solids have been achieved by using additives.
A research study by Mark Gross, Ph.D. has shown that septic tank "die off" conditions occur when the bacteria in a septic tank are destroyed due to the presence of toxic substances. Die-off conditions were observed when adding a concentration of 1.85 gallons of liquid bleach, 5.0 gallons of liquid Lysol cleaner, or 11.3 grams of Drano drain cleaner to a standard 1,000-gallon septic tank. Other factors that can cause die-off include the use of anti-bacterial agents, and, in certain cases, medications taken by the home-owner.
