The infiltrator makes sense.

The number of feet you need is in correlation to the permeability of the soil. I only needed 150' (not 100') and added 75', the original old clay tile field was 4 X 50'.
Edit: I just checked my bills and realized I was wrong, must be oldtimers disease, I have 3 x 75', I needed 150' for a family of 5 and added an extra 75'. I corrected above, but I can't correct Steve's quote of my previous post.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
