Re: septic tanks
hi, we have a cement septic tank/cess pit. does anybody know if we bought a new fibreglass septic tank,does it need emptying????? oh the joys of septic tanks, we keep emptying ours and it keeps filling up, we realise that the washing machine does not help so we are thinking of running the machine straight onto the grass, any help please

Re: septic tanks
thanks for all your replies, as I said we have emptied the tank twice in the last 2 weeks, in fact OH was emptying and I was at front room door when he appeared soaking wet, the hose pipe fm the tank had done a double flip and went all over him, he was nearly crying, poor sod, made me feel quite sick.
To be honest I have put bleach down the toilet and use all the naughty products I shouldnt use, I think I will have to be more careful in future, and yep we do put those little envelope thingys in the pan but I suppose its a bit like "after the horse has bolted".
thanks,pat

I would say your exit pipes are fine !!!!no in all seriousness is it actually a proper tank ? did you have it installed or the previous owner ? dont sound right to me, like there are no soakaway holes/pipes or whatever

Re: septic tanks
Hi
As I said, what height is the water table where you are? Open your well (bore hole) and see how far down the water is. The water in your septic tank will be the same. How long have you had the property? There is always a logical answer
It is not rocket science !!!
