Your habits & usage of the system will determine how often your system needs to be pumped
As with all septic systems, occasional pumping of the solids is required to keep your advanced treatment system healthy & to ensure proper treatment
THREE LAYERS
Naturally your system's pretreatment tank will develop three layers: scum at the surface, sludge at the bottom and liquid in the middle
ADEQUATE SPACE
It is important to ensure adequate "space" for the liquids to settle out the solids before the water passes into the aeration zone for processing
THE RULE OF THUMB
The wastewater industry recommends that you pump your system when the collective scum and sludge levels are between 25-30% of the total capacity
