Septic Protector Filtrol 160TM
Washing machines are a leading cause of septic system failures. A typical family washing machine produces enough lint every year to carpet a living room floor! Lint screens and nylon socks trap less than 5% of these particles. These small, light particles don't settle in the septic tank. Instead, they in suspension and are flushed out to the drain field, where they plug up the pores of the soil bed. To compound the problem, much of our clothing is now made of non-biodegradable, synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon. Once these synthetic materials enter the drain field, there is no way to remove them. The Septic Protector is the only product which can eliminate this problem and has been featured on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, FOX and in Mother Earth News, Family Handyman and numerous other publications.
The Filtrol 160TM washing machine lint trap is the only filter designed to remove these damaging particles before they go down the drain and damage your system. The Filtrol 160TM is a patented, re-useable, in line filter that you attach to your washing machine discharge hose that protects your septic system.
The Filtrol 160TM comes with extra hose, clamps, fittings, and a mounting bracket for easy installation (you supply the 2 screws that hold the bracket on the wall). Most homeowners can install the unit in 10-15 minutes. It comes with a bracket for mounting on the wall near the washing machine. These are examples of typical installations, however, because not all laundry rooms are the same you may have to modify your set-up.

Septic Protector Filtrol 160TM
Septic Protector Filtrol 160TM (Kitchen) I have a newer GE profile
top load washer and with a standard standpipe and I could not use this
device. My stand pipe is only about 6 inches below the top of the
washer so I had to mount the Filtrol 160 so the top of the unit was
about 60" high to put the bottom discharge hose of the Filtrol
slightly above the stand pipe.
After I installed the unit I
found that the water would come flooding back into the wash tub after
the final spin cycle completed. Which of course soaked the clothes. I
guess the pump can't handle the height of the Filtrol 160.
I
think if you have a lower stand pipe or use a sink to drain your
washer it would work. I would steer clear if you have a standard
height drain pipe. My washer and dryer fit snugly in a small laundry
closet so I don't have room to bust out the wall and lower the
standpipe, there would be no room to mount the Filtrol unit lower
anyway.
After I unhooked the unit my washer is back to working
like new. HELP OTHER CUSTOMERS FIND THE MOST HELPFUL REVIEWS Was

Septic Protector Filtrol 160TM (Kitchen) Includes lid, basin,
mounting bracket, ~5ft of rubber tubing, two hose clamps, two
hose-barb-to-thread adapters to fit the inlet/outlet of the device,
and two filters. Does NOT include mounting screws and washers,
required for complete installation.
Instructions are
practically non-existent, and fairly unhelpful (pretty much consisting
of "screw the holder to a stud" and "clean the filter every 8-15
washes"). Lid and body do not couple tightly (the _bracket_ is
actually what couples them, which the instructions do not state), and
the lid will readily slide off and go flying if you try to open/close
the unit while holding it without the mounting bracket. Snapped off
the diffuser and chipped the edge of the groove for the metal latches
on the mounting bracket while trying to figure out how the lid/body
latched together. Device should neither be this fragile, nor this
unintuitive (or, if it must be unintuitive, it should have some _real_
instructions).

Septic Protector Filtrol 160TM (Kitchen) I thought this was going to be great, but turns out to be a nightmare. The cover is hard to put on, the o-ring gets pinched, and the filter has to be cleaned every 3 wash cycles. That wouldn't be bad if the filter was easy to clean, but it is a mukky mess. It clogs up and overflows, and if the o-ring is pinched it could flood your basement. The only way I can clean the filter is by scrapping the muck off with my fingernails, and then I have to do that every couple wash cycles. I wish I had just stuck with the women's nylon sock in the sink. HELP OTHER CUSTOMERS FIND THE MOST HELPFUL REVIEWS Was this review helpful to you? Report abuse
