YOU HAVEN'T PUMPED IT IN HOW LONG?

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

ALL septic systems eventually need to be pumped of the solids

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

Too much scum & sludge in a septic tank leaves little room for liquids

The wastewater industry recommends that you pump your system when the collective scum and sludge levels are between 25-30% of the total capacity
