What Infiltrator Water Technologies does

Infiltrator Water Technologies is a full-line manufacturer of decentralized (onsite) wastewater treatment products, founded in 1987 and headquartered in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. The company designs and produces recycled-plastic septic chambers (Quick4 Plus, Quick5, Quick4 series), plastic and concrete septic tanks (IM-540, IM-1060, IM-1530, CM-1060), EZflow gravelless drainfield products, EZsnap click-and-lock tank risers, advanced treatment systems (ECOPOD, AES/CTD combined treatment and dispersal), wastewater collection systems (STEP and pressure sewer), and residential rainwater harvesting systems. Its products serve as alternatives to traditional stone-and-pipe leachfields, positioned on engineered strength, faster installation, lightweight handling, and third-party certifications (IAPMO, ICC-ES PMG). The company serves residential, commercial, and community/subdivision segments, principally where municipal sewer service is unavailable or impractical.

The business model is hardware product sales — one-time sales of physical wastewater treatment products with no disclosed recurring or consumption-based revenue. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customers transact via a self-serve Product Store, a Project Hub for direct representative engagement and consultation, and phone/customer-care channels. Go-to-market combines direct sales, inside sales, e-commerce, and distribution through the networks of its parent, Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS, NYSE: WMS), of which Infiltrator is a wholly-owned subsidiary. The company markets to contractors, installers, engineers, and property owners through content (The Ripple Effect blog), an extensive state-accredited webinar library, document/CAD resource libraries, events, and social channels.

Infiltrator operates within a fragmented advanced onsite wastewater treatment market that benefits from regulatory tailwinds; the broader global plastic septic tank market is cited at USD 1.2 billion in 2024, projected to reach USD 2.5 billion by 2034, with North America holding roughly 40% share. The company states that one in every three septic systems in the US utilizes an Infiltrator product. In August 2024, ADS announced Infiltrator would acquire Orenco Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of advanced onsite septic wastewater treatment products, with expected close in Q3 fiscal 2025, consolidating complementary product portfolios and distribution.
