Factor in the inconvenience of not being able to flush the toilet, take a shower, or wash your dishes. While maintenance can typically be accomplished all season long, repair or replacement might only be performed during the dry summer months.
Now that you've gained the three supreme insights for fearless flushing, remember: your septic system is part of your daily life. Use your septic sense. Be kind. If you overuse or neglect your system, it will suffer and so will you. Feed your system as you would yourself - small, regular and well-balanced meals.
Think about it. The effluent your septic tank disposes of is continually being recycled. How quickly that effluent goes from wastewater to drinking water is in part controlled by how well you oversee the system's operation.
Proper care and maintenance of your system will increase its longevity and good health - along with yours. By practicing even a couple of the tips provided here, you're on the way to a healthier septic system and a healthier environment.
