How do you maintain your septic tank?
Septic tanks require very little maintenance. You can dose your septic tank with a bacteria treatment once a month with Rid-X or a similar brand, but this is not vital. If you do use a bacteria treatment, you will only need to have your septic tank pumped out every five years, instead of every one or two years. You should not flush things like tampons or sanitary wipes, and you should only use biodegradable toilet paper, because the bacteria cannot break these things down and this will also cause the septic tank to get full faster. The only other things to remember are to keep the area above your septic tank and its drain field grassy. Do not allow plants with large root systems to grow there, or your septic system will be damaged. Do not position anything heavy over the septic system either - septic tanks have been completely broken due to people parking their cars over them.
Why do you have to vent your bathroom plumbing?
