Frequently Asked Questions About
the Wolverine ® Septic
Vent Pipe Filter
Who
uses your filters?
Our customers
include municipalities, sewer authorities, contractors,
schools, restaurants and homeowners.
How many
filters do I need?
To properly
absorb all errant odors, you will need 1 Wolverine ® septic vent filter for each vent in your system.
How do
I know what size to order?
Visit
our How to Measure Page
for a “how to” on measuring your septic or sewer vent.
Can the
homeowner change or replenish the charcoal in the filter?
The Wolverine ® is designed as a recyclable unit. A recharge certificate can be found
on our Support
Page.
Just download the form and mail a printed copy, along with your payment
(check, money order or Credit card information) and your
old filter and Simple Solutions LLC will recharge your expired filter
with fresh, brand new GC
IPH impregnated carbon. We will properly dispose of the spent
carbon and ship your newly recycled filter back to you, postage
paid.
Your newly recycled Wolverine ® comes with
the same 120-day guarantee as when you purchased it new.
What is
the life expectancy of the unit?
The life
expectancy of your Wolverine ® is dependent
on how much Sewer gas is produced at the location of the filter. Generally
they will last 2 to 5 years. The Wolverine ® by design holds between 1 to 2 pounds of GC-IPH
activated carbon depending on filter size. This is up to 3
times the carbon of other septic vent filters. This is
what enables us to have a warranty that is 30% longer than the
competition!
What type
of odor concerns will the Wolverine ® septic
vent filter solve?
The Wolverine ® septic vent filter will only solve odors that originate at a septic
or sewer vent. The gasses that cause septic and sewer odor must pass
through the filter in order for it to absorb the gasses.
Does the
Wolverine ® restrict septic vent airflow?
All filters
by design cause a restriction. However, the minor restriction caused
by the Wolverine is so slight that it won’t
interfere with normal venting of a properly operating plumbing system.
For information on pressure drop curves for the Wolverine
filter visit our Documents
Page.
Do Wolverine ® septic vent filters “freeze up” in extreme cold?
Vent
pipes can occasionally clog up with frost if it is cold enough for
long periods
of time. This is called "hoarfrost". All Wolverine ® filters
(except inline models) are designed with cross through ventilation
to wick away the moisture that naturally occurs at a vent to help
reduce
the possibility of freezing in freezing temperatures. If you are in
an area of extended below freezing temperatures you may want to consider
choosing our Inline
Wolverine ®.
This style filter is mounted in the attic, away from the elements,
and comes with
an insulated blanket for added protection. NOTE:
The Inline Wolverine
requires removal of a section of vent pipe. For this reason we recommend
that it be installed by a professional plumber.
