Like Terrell said. Septic tanks are anaerobic, aerator are aerobic. My next doo neighbor has an aerator. Air is injected into the waste and the aerobic bacteria break it down. It is pumped into a gravel filter and drains into the old vitreous tile system. Many of them drain right into a river, stream of collector ditch, some into leach fields. The more modern versions have an air pump to inject the air. The older ones had a paddle that incorporated the air. Called the "sheet stirrers".What do you mean by aerators? Here, those are found on small town sewer lagoons.
