Nice job. I love the focus on lid replacement. I would consider cleaning the filter over the inlet side of the tank to insure the solids sprayed off the filter are not carried over and into the pump tank.
Good point!
So pardon my ignorance? but why have a filter if you spray what it stops back into the tank? isnt that what would happen if you didnt have that nasty filter stopping it from going into the tank and making you clean it out ???? and how often are you cleaning that thing. I know its been years since you wrote and posted this video. so anyone who may have the answer to this question PLEASE respond. I am very new to septic systems.
Do all systems have this filter I looked in both tanks and didn't see this filter anywheres, I say the Tee PVC but there was no filter there.
No not all...sorry missed your comment from 3 years ago! Sounds like you were just seeing the pvc baffle.
Install a filter
i recently am new to septics and my understanding here in ontario canada the law was past in 2007 that new tanks and when they catchup all tanks rewuire risers and lids along with filters ...at home owners cost.
When you washed the filter, you actually let the dirt go right into the pipe, then why do you need the filter in the first place? I thought you are supposed to wash the filter somewhere else, not in the tank.
Like Allen Worst mentioned below it is probably better practice to wash it out over the inlet side of the tank versus the outlet side...however you do it the filter needs to be washed out on an annual basis at least or you may end up with a backup. This one had been several years so there really wasn't anyway to keep every thing out of the pipe. It is hard to see, as for some reason the person taking the video didn't want to get to close while I was spraying! Thanks for watching and good point!
so obvious to me also...
How often should this be done?
At the very minum once a year. For best peace of mind I would clean it, then clean it a month later and see what it looks like if it looked like longer was ok wait two months and reevaluate. Like most things there is no right answer for everyone. Hope this helps!
It should be cleaned over the solids side.
