Your septic tank should be pumped at least once every 3-5 years. It may need to be pumped more frequently if there is a large number of people living in the house. Consult the Test Drill map to locate your parcel. The location of your parcel within Sacramento County will help determine the type of system needed for that area See similar questions...

There are many different septic additives on the market, but please save your money for routine maintenance. No additive in the world is going to replace the need for regular septic inspections and emptying of the septic tank every couple of years.

It is very costly to replace a septic system. See similar questions...

JSA: The best situation for a long, happy septic tank life would be that only human wastewater enters the tank. This includes bathroom sink waste and proper toilet tissue. This however, is seldom the case. People often put anything and everything down sinks, drains and toilets. In moderation, a properly working septic tank can handle some biodegradable detergents, laundry soaps, kitchen wastes and biodegradable household chemicals. See similar questions...

All septic systems are slowly failing. As time goes by, small particles from wastewater begin to clog the drainfield. In order to slow this process, it is best to use an outlet filter on the washing machine and septic tank to prevent lint and large particles from entering the drainfield. Do not dispose of anything in the toilet except for human excrement and toilet paper, do not use a garbage disposal unit, conserve water as much as possible, and use biodegradable chemicals for cleaning.

The motor is filled with oil and sealed for life. See similar questions...

No. The ribs on these tanks are specifically designed to withstand the stress from soil loading. Use of these tanks above ground could cause deformation of the tank.

Those liquid treatment systems rely on too many variables... variables you can't control. Essentially, they're designed to optimize anaerobic bacterial levels (bacteria that break down solid waste) in a 'fixed' system... one with a known size and known inflow rate. This may work well in a laboratory setting, but you have no control over when and how many people take showers or flush the toilet or do the laundry. See similar questions...
