We live at our island home 24/7 for 7 months + or - out of the year. We pump on average every 3-4 years. If one of our neighbors is having their tanked pumped we might jump in even if early to have ours pumped as the savings and convenience are worth it. We do use a monthly grease breakdown solution as well as Rid-X twice a year in our tank. We have had zero issues other than a pump replacement this year as we have a pump up system…

The question everyone should be asking is why are other lakes in NH which have very few if any camps on it and no lawns experiencing the same Cyanobacteria issues this year….

I would say 3-4 years. Thats how often we did our seasonal camp. The cyanobacteria popping up everywhere on remote lakes .....lack of ice.
