The Pirana marks the beginning of the end of outdated “state-of-the-art” 19th-century septic systems promoted by the generic septic industry and its government partners, who regulate everything related to septic systems, and the 21st-century era of the Pirana, the first new septic technology in 100 years.
The Pirana is not “new technology.” For over 25 years, it has successfully remediated biomat-failed septic systems across the U.S. and in 14 countries. In fact, Pirana created the septic remediation industry itself. To this day, no other technology reliably restores failed leach fields or other disposal systems—whether mounds, sand filters, drip systems, pressure distribution systems, or others—even ATUs.
- Installed Pirana units in septic tanks before certified ATUs to boost efficiency and eliminate odors.
- Replacing interior components in ATUs with Pirana units or adding Pirana units to the interior components of ATUs, turning them into properly functioning devices.
With nearly 10,000 installations worldwide—serving homes, apartments, condos, resorts, mobile home parks, RV parks/campgrounds, and more—the Pirana has consistently proven its ability to restore and protect drain fields. When continuously operated, it prevents biomat failure while saving customers money—over $100 million in the past 25 years.
Our evaluation process is simple and accurate. A septic system owner can find out if their failed system can be remediated before a site visit by answering 30 simple questions on our site evaluation questionnaire. Our 100% accuracy rate speaks for itself. Look online—you won’t find credible negative reviews of the Pirana—just 19th-century comments about septic systems in general.
A New Septic Paradigm
The Pirana overturns everything you thought you knew about septic systems. It represents a new paradigm for managing human and organic waste, provided the existing infrastructure meets its operating requirements.
- It uses air but is not an aerobic treatment unit (ATU).
- It supports aerobic bacteria, but the Pirana Blend Bacteria are not strictly aerobic bacteria.
- It creates high levels of dissolved oxygen (DO), but we aren’t concerned with DO.
- The true power comes from the oxygen-rich environment inside the Pirana unit, which, for the first time, enables natural recycling bacteria to thrive and work for us—something no other system achieves.
Traditional septic comparisons, comments, and requirements don’t apply. No round peg into a square hole. As time goes on, we will highlight the differences between antiquated septic systems, both conventional and aerobic, based on outdated 19th-century technology, and the Pirana.
