Default Septic systems

I STRONGLY support TheTimeTraveler's post, especially the comment about pumping EVERY YEAR. Many systems have filters between the house and the tank(s), so it is important to have these checked every year, too. If your State approved (stamped) septic design shows a filter, it better be there when the pump-out service arrives or else they could refuse to pump the system. Also, if the filter is on the Plan, but not physically installed, this could create a problem at the time of a sale. (This could prove very expensive, possibly the loss of a sale.) Pumping every year is, to me, well worth the cost, especially when nothing wrong is found. And, garbage disposals are Enemy #1 of a septic system.
