Septic Tank: how often to clean?
"Rob G" wrote in message ... .... I would like to challenge the vociferous cries from Sacha, Mary Fisher, et al about the use of household chemicals and septic tanks. I live in area of septic tanks - there must be around 20 in this community, and one thing that is clearly apparant is that anyone we know well here does NOT pay service to looking after their septic tank bugs. I will admit to not having gone round my friends here and done a detailed survey off their cleaning habits, but all (I think) have dish-washers, washing machines, etc and I am totally unaware of them taking any precautions with powders, etc. What I am aware of is that like us they pump out every 10 years or more and have no problems with their tanks. These are typically 70 year old double brick tanks that drain into the local water courses, which are all healthy burns. Rob I challenge your claim that I've been crying vociferously :-) All I've done is repeat what happens in a daughter's case, which is different from most because of her organic certification. Others have asserted that their tank has never been 'cleaned' too, it shouldn't be necessary. Mary |
