Aerobic and Mound Systems

Aerobic and Mound Systems in Ocala

When a lot has tight clay, a high seasonal water table, or too little room for a full trench field, a conventional gravity system will not pass. Vicunachocolate installs the two advanced options Ocala soils often demand. An aerobic treatment unit certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 40 feeds oxygen to the effluent so it is cleaned before it reaches the ground. An engineered mound builds an elevated sand and gravel bed that creates the vertical separation a shallow site cannot provide on its own.

Why Advanced Systems Fit Marion County

Much of the Ocala area sits on sandy soil over the limestone of the Floridan aquifer, and rural parcels near Dunnellon can have water tables that rise fast in the wet season. An aerobic unit or a pressure dosed mound protects that groundwater where a gravity field would fail. These systems also let you build on a lot that would otherwise be unbuildable.

Our Process

We run the perc test, confirm the seasonal high water table, and engineer the system to the county standard. We set the treatment unit or mound, wire the aerator and effluent pump with float switches, and file the as-built and operating permit. Advanced systems need a maintenance contract, and we handle those visits too.
