Keep Your System To Performing At Its Best
When To Pump?
It will vary depending on how many people are living in a household and how much water is used when bathing, washing clothes, dishes, etc. For an average family of 4 or 5.
How Do You Know When The System Is Full & Needs To Be Pumped?
-
Conventional System
(Roughly every 5 years) - Toilets Flush Slowly
- Standing Water in your Drain Field
- Water Backs Up in the Shower/Tub
- Water and/or Sludge around the Lid of the Tank
-
Aerobic System
(Roughly every 5-7 years) - Similar to Conventional but...
- Sprinklers may discharge dark, foul smelling water
- (if clear and smelly, you may just need to add chlorine and/or have the aerator checked)
- Water is dirty and thick in the pump tank - like a really thick malt
