Drinking Post Installation Info
Drinking Post Installation Info
Installing the Drinking Post is very easy and straightforward. The most important parts of Drinking Post installation are making sure the base of the Post is deep enough and making sure the leach field is big enough. The base of the Drinking Post must sit at least 18″ below the local frostline. The leach field must be at least 3′ x 3′ x 1′ deep. If you have clay, hard pan, or rock in your soil, you’ll want to overbuild the leach field. If you have a high water table, please give us a call. A high water table can interfere with the functioning of the Drinking Post. Every Drinking Post will come with an Installation Guide, so make sure you and your installer read it through and call us with questions!
