Ah yes. Everyone always wants to talk about septic systems. :-)> I do mine every three years. And I'm always there to see what shape it's in when they do it. Some people go heavy on the (ahem) paper products and need to do it more frequently. Also more people in the household shorten the schedule as well. The goal is to not allow the solids to settle in so much that they end overflowing your tank and up fouling your leeching field. I think all septic companies will tell you to do it every year on the premise that you must not have a leeching field. -- -Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana.
