If you don't decide to keep your septic system is what you can look forward to a:

1. a septic system can be a threat to the health of families and the environment, especially their right to the supply of drinking water or near the waters of the recreational Lake.

2 reduces the value of the property and has a negative experience with your neighbors.

3. a septic system is expensive to repair and can require constant pumping of the septic tank, possible installation of a
deposit, or possibly may have to leave your House to complete costly repairs.

4. unordered sewage backups in house (ruining your wood or carpet) or residual gas odors in your home.

The warning signs you may have a problem with its operation of septic systems:

* Surface water drainage, filter sand or mount.
* Slow draining bathtubs, sinks and basins, frequent backups and water over the septic tank.

DON'T DO THESE THINGS

* Add excessive amounts of caustic chemicals into the system. Normal household cleaning products in moderate amounts doesn't harm your septic system, but toxic chemicals or concentrates can kill the good bacteria in your septic system.

* Do not drive cars or machinery, vehicles parked or machines above the septic tank or the drain area.

* Do not put diapers or wipes, feminen products or other materials containing non-biodegradable substances in the septic tank. (although disposable wipes!) This is for houses with sewage only!)

To not waste water out of the shower Open for long periods of time while waiting to be heated.

* Do not use large amounts of water on the same day. to extend the use of high volume water usage throughout the week. In other words do not wash your clothes Saturday and
It is preferable to run the dishwasher and washing machine separate day.

The HRM, most septic tank additives are not needed for these products and residential septic systems should never replace the septic tank pumping maintenance time. Most of the time, the so-called cleaners will cause the layer of sludge and waste that decomposes into fine particles enough to be pushed out in the operation, which causes clogged sewer lines.

* Do not turn off the tank ATU (aerobic treatment unit), even if on vacation.

* Disclaimer * I do not believe that these sales people for cleaning of septic tank enzymes. They will tell you that if you are using your product, you'll never have the new pump septic tank ... The truth is that these products will break down the solids in the tank and are then sent to the operation. You don't have to pump the septic tank, so many times, but you will have to replace the drain in place. This is not a good trade-off. Your septic tank every 3 years at about $ 400.00 or have your septic system replaced for $ 10,000? Be responsible and pump the septic tank in 3 years.
