When Should YOU Pump Out Your Septic Tank? 

Put a filter on the outlet, if it's clogging alot then it needs pumping otherwise don't bother

I've found it better to flush some toilet paper and put less contaminated paper in bin.

Roughly 1/3 in toilet, 2/3 in bin this way can use thicker paper from second toilet roll holder and damp it down from tap

Digging up to 2 feet per lid in 100°+ heat , lifting 40+ pound lids, dragging 30 foot sections of hose.. it’s pretty physically demanding

Finding the *Septic* tank, the easiest way (If you have access to them) is checking the house plans - A copy might be on file with the local authority, local rules permitting. Otherwise the things to look out for might be the cleaning point (Which gives you an rough idea of what side of the house it's on, though this isn't a dead cert) and (After long spells of hot, dry weather) any rectangular or circular patches of ground where the colour of the grass differs enough for those shapes to become visible (In which case, suggesting a tank very close to the surface). 📡 Once you know where the tank is the access lids will usually be found near the outside ends, where the baffles enter from the house and leave to the drain field. A thin steel rod driven down to tap the top of the tank and listening out for differences in the sound may help to distinguish the lids from the tank top. 🔈 Otherwise, better to call out the professionals as they'll have the equipment to find a tank where elementary methods fail or won't work in your particular situation. ☎🧑‍🔧😇

The _sceptic_ tank will be any group of people who watch debates in Congress or Parliament and challenge or question the motives and proposals of the speaker. 😋 As for finding the *Septic* tank, the easiest way (If you have access to them) is checking the house plans - A copy might be on file with the local authority, local rules permitting.

Depends what goes into it. If it's the sort of stuff people normally flush into sewers it'll smell absolutely foul, while a well kept system that only has washing water, poo and pee put into it will smell a lot more amicable. And if my recent personal experience is anything to go on; A system where poo and pee are handled separately might eliminate the worst odors almost completely! 😇

@@dieseldragon6756 so... it smells like shit... no matter how you spin it... still $$$ for the man pumping it...
