5. How can I keep my septic system functioning efficiently?
Regular septic tank maintenance is important and will help to avoid costly repairs. Here are some tips to keep your system functioning efficiently:
- Have your septic tank pumped regularly according to the above guidlines.
- Don't use a garbage disposal and if you do pump the system more frequently.
- Conserve water to avoid flooding the system.
- Don't discharge water from hottubs or other heavily chlorinated water into the system.
- Minimize the use of bleach, drain and toilet cleaners.
- Do not clog your tank with kitty litter, grease, gas, paint thinner or oil paint.
