It's a wonderful thing....when it's working right.:D

.

I like it :D . Since yesterday we have 10 people staying at the house so lots of shower/toilet usage along with dishwasher . So far flowing like the Mississippi ;) . My wife and I are beaming with septic pride :D

Our oldest grandson graduated last night from high school with honors . That's our REAL pride . SmileWavy

From things I know -
The redo of the leach fields is way more expensive than pump outs!!.
Treat your tank(s) as holding tanks and don't let the debris get downstream into the field.
I guess the man who showed up to pump your tank also owns a small excavator and a dump truck?
In my opinion, he is waiting for a larger sale, the up-sell?
That's my understanding of how it all works.
Saving money by not pumping out with some sort of theory of septic digestion is going to digest a lot more money downstream from that point in time.
Or try to understand it this way- if you pumped the tank regularly, you would never have a field failure .
Pick one.

What kind of flag would you fly to show septic pride??

A label from a bleach bottle.

I think this is the flag

Or you can make a custom flag?
Says-
I have too much money and want to redo my septic field.
You guys carry on,
Truth is hard to come by, and fewer want it.
