Water entering into the tank displaces water already in the tank. One gallon of water in pushes one gallon of water out. The water exiting the tank either flows or is pumped out to the absorption field or leach field
The pumping frequency needs to be often enough to prevent solids from exiting the tank and entering the leaching system.
This can occur when the sludge layer becomes thick enough to pass through the tank baffle and mix with the effluent in the second compartment of the septic tank. Solids entering the leaching system will reduce the effective life of the system leading to costly repairs.
Protect your leaching system from unwanted sludge which over time will reduce the ability of the leaching system to absorb water. An old or abused leaching system can cause pooling of effluent over the tank lids or in the area above the leaching system and may even back up in your home. By pumping your septic tank on a regular basis you will extend the life of your leaching system.
