Too many problems with septic system, rip off??????

Your getting ripped, like my sister-in-law but, she will not listen and, after three years and 12 k she. about given up.

You want to take the guy on the side and, tell him "look, this is the last time and, either fix it or my attorney can talk to you the next time" your getting ripped.

Aerators and electrical pumps...you must live on solid rock. This sounds more like a waste system for an RV. The only time you should have a problem with your septic tank is when you move into a new to you house. No two families are the same so the feeding of the septic is different and now it needs to burp but can't. Technically you should never have to pump your septic tank or turn on anything electric to manage it.

First thing is the paper...only single ply (Scott) gets the flush, if you use the soft expensive stuff it goes into the covered trash can with the foot pedal. Toss any always in the toilet tank "cleaner" and use a little abrasive (Comet) cleaner and some brushing.

Second is the dish washing...typically you wash your dishes and when you are finished down the drain it goes cold and loaded with semi congealed matter that the munching bacteria have a hard time eating. You can follow by running super hot water down it but that just adds more water and more bucks for the honey wagon folks. Put a kettle of water on to boil which will replentish the growing colder water in the sink and when you are finished put the boiling water down the sink. This keeps the pipes clear and gives the munchers a nice hot meal that they really like. Use your garbage disposer sparingly. You must keep a grease and oil can under the sink for excess oil, fat and the watery stuff that comes with hamburger these days...recycle it to someone that makes soap.

Next is laundry...the major water source and the most chemicles. Your septic likes a daily drink and the laundry all in a day drowns it. Use a liquid soap that is just good old soap (Arm & Hammer) and if you don't have a water softener either baking soda or borax. I keep stain remover (Zout) with every hamper and everyone is responsible for their own stain removal. Bleach and laundry soap really do not work well together and the septic hates the bleach. That 1810 clothes dryer really did the trick for making whites white but now those pins are a real hastle. Pre-wash (soak) your whites longer with less bleach.

Now that your washer is putting out environment friendly waste consider a dual discharge system. One day I will install a diverter but until then I manually move the discharge hose to my lawn and flower garden watering system (no bleach loads). The little bit of soap remaining cleans the salts and minerals left from using plain water to irrigate and what a savings on the water/power bill. (My cousin in snow country makes an ice skating venue in the winter).

Finally, the munchers really are party animals and have a gay old time on the last bit of not really cold enough beer in the bottle. There is never enough to keep it partying like it should so once a month, every three weeks in cold country, but a three pack of yeast (Fleishman's) down the sink with hot water after it for each toilet (one three pack per toilet) to get the bacteria munching.

The honey wagon has to get rich on someone else's septic.

Unless you are in a location where you can use a standard gravity feed septic tank, without all those bells and whistles, jerk it out and have a regular septic tank put in. Mine has been in place since our house was built, which was 1983; never have had any problems and it has required pumping. We have a family of 5, so we certainly use it frequently. If you can't pull out that newfangled tank, maybe it can be converted to a regular one, or you can just bypass it with a new tank and use the same dispersion field.

Pump and field lines both get clogged with paper residue. I just went through a similar problem sequence.

get it repaired. then keep A L L things out of your toilet other than waste. Add only a bacteria culture or enzyme to condition your tank. use no bleaches or caustics in your sinks,tub or toilets.

My aerator and its associated parts got damaged by toilet tissue.

it cost me big. Also you can rout your grey water to a garden straight from the pipe to take some of its load off. i do suggest that you also get another plumbing service to fix it.
