[QUOTE="rod, post: 4593366, member: 5382"] I've had a septic system at places I've owned for 50 years and never had one problem with them . As long as those little poop eaters in the main tank are doing their job and your drain field is in good soil (sandy) you are good to go for a long time without pumping. The second house I owned we lived there 17 years and never had the system pumped. Before we sold it I had it inspected and pumped and the septic guy told me there wasn't anything wrong and it was in excellent shape. The secret to keeping them going forever is to not put anything in them other than what comes out of you and TP. NO Kleenex- NO baby wipes- NO female "stuff" - NO cigarette butts- NO grease. --Nothing but pee-poop and tp. Anyone from the 'City" who spends any length of time at my house gets my septic system lecture. Damn City folk are the worst. [/QUOTE]
