Introducing The Infiltrator Guardian™: Designed for Safety

In wastewater infrastructure, much of the work happens out of sight, but its impact is felt every day. The systems beneath our communities protect water resources, support public health and quietly contribute to the quality of life in neighborhoods nationwide.

That responsibility demands more than functional design.
It requires a commitment to safety.

That is why we’re excited to announce the launch of the Infiltrator Guardian. This new product will be officially unveiled at the WWETT show this week and is now available to purchase for your next wastewater project.

"Protecting water has always been central to our mission, but protecting people, and the quality of life in the communities we serve, always comes first,” said Craig Taylor, President of Infiltrator Water Technologies. “Safety is at the heart of everything we do, and the Infiltrator Guardian reflects that commitment by putting safety first."

The Infiltrator Guardian™ was developed with that philosophy in mind. It provides a secondary safety barrier at the septic tank access point, helping prevent unauthorized or accidental entry while still allowing professionals to service systems efficiently. By integrating protection directly into the design, the Guardian reinforces safety at one of the most critical interaction points in a septic system.

Designed specifically with child safety in mind, the Guardian features an integrated spring-loaded latch that automatically engages every time the gate is closed, requiring more than 50 pounds of force to open. A stainless-steel screw adds an additional layer of protection, ensuring the safety gate remains securely in place.

Built to support over 300 pounds, the Guardian delivers strength without sacrificing usability, providing increased access for service professionals and improved ease of use during routine maintenance. Its broad compatibility across a variety of risers and pipe systems also makes it practical for both new installations and retrofits.

But the Guardian represents more than a single product innovation. It reflects how Infiltrator approaches its role in the industry…by anticipating risk and designing for real-world conditions.

Because when safety is built into the system, it doesn’t just safeguard infrastructure.
It protects lives.
