Great animations and drawings in this video on maintenance of septic systems, tanks and leaching fields. Liked the background music also. :-) Take care
your diagram shows pipe from tank to drain field as higher than actual tank therefore tank would overflow before water reaches drain field are you sure you know anything about maintaining.
horse rider before being so critical, maybe take a second and think that the diagrams are only teaching tools. If you are such an expert, what are you doing watching this video?
Wrong reply, horse rider only wants to send a message that they must make correcttions to their video for it will be viewed by hundreds of thousands of people who are not experts themselves. My dacha is in fact ELEVATED 7 feet above the ground so that everything flows by gravity to the ELEVATED septic tanks which is between the ELEVATED dacha and flows into the ELEVATED gravel drain field. So my drainfield is elevated above rhe ground and is connected to an elevated septic tank above it which is connected to an elevated Dacha house. The bottom of the septic tanks are 5 feet deep and are filled with a 6 to 8 inch thick layer of granulated POROUS diatomaceous earth to help increase the population of anaerobic bacteria to eat anything organic and that includes the sludge. We jump start the biogechamical process of using a small packet of yeast and a small bag of brown sugar to start the biogical process of the biogeochemical process along with a biogas starter. The reason why my Dacha is elevated 7 feet above the ground is because of the thick Siberian winter snow and to combat snow melt which is why I had willows and black alder planted around the drain field. In fact, according to one incident, a family wanted a black alder tree near their septic tank to be cut down but one of the more experience workmen said NO! Because it's roots has reached inside their septic tank and has been keeping their septic tank clean and free of sewage and sludge for the black alder tree has been consuming everything flowing into the septic tank, like the old expression which is "the gresses is greener over the septic tank and drainage field areas!"
It is diagrammatical only and doesn't mean the leach field pipe is higher than the tank. One would hope a licenced plumber/drainer installs it and not a lay person. The voice mentions sludge. When the waste water enters the tank eventually almost all the solid waste will float on the surface, forming the crust. The sludge is formed by the crust being eaten by bacteria which excrete out the sludge that settles on the bottom along with their dead bodies. Further anaerobic bacteria eat at the sludge. The top of the crust harbours a colony of aerated bacteria whose bodies also form a part of the crust and are in turn, eaten by the anaerobic bacteria. A well built standard septic working correct on the average 4 person home, should be de-sludged every 5 years. The septic system in the drawing is a poor example that come about because people do not want it visible in their lawn. A better system would have the underside of the tank lid, 100mm/4" above the ground, a 600mm/2' access lid in the middle and two access ports, one over the inlet the other over the outlet. The outlet pipe should be laid at 1:60, the same as all other Sewer pipes, it can be more. The finished ground over the leach field, should be 450mm/18" below the bottom of the pipe at the tank outlet, this would stop any backup from the leach field in case of heavy rain. There should be an induct vent on the access port over the tank outlet to allow free flow of air throughout the system and up the main vent through the roof. There also should be a yard gully close to the house finished with a grate 150mm/6" above the ground. This allows any surcharge to exit before it floods the house. If the tank is not de-sludged, effluent can build up from the tank and it WILL flow into the house without a yard gully.

Your wrong about using additives. I use them to keep tree roots out of the drain field. Had the problem once with tree roots and had to to use copper sulfate to kill and dissolve the roots.
Very good explication thank you

@@darthvader5300 u r absolutely right.

Noted Thank You Sir 👌✌👍🙏
Is this only for rural areas?

Why is the inlet, higher than the outlet ?
three compartment system for septic tank seems to be long running

Yes first problem are roots man its. Full of roots on drain pipe
