    We run only black water (from toilets) through our septic system. This reduces the workload on the septic. Gray water from showers and kitchens is used to irrigate a small group of fruit trees. Washer discharge waters a shade tree to a small swale. Our simplified septic system has functioned without maintenance for 16 years. Due to its simplicity, we installed a separate septic system for our guest house. As we don't use any medications and processed foods, we protect our septic as a living ecosystem within our rancho.

    I love that you include your boys in helping out. I remember as a child helping my parents weed the flower beds. My Dad had a lawn business on the side to help earn money and I would go with him in the summer months to help him. Because of that I do landscaping and gardening and am a Master Gardner, helping others with their gardening issues. You are teaching your boys so much respect for the land and plants. It's fun to watch their enthusiasm as it reminds me of being a child in the yard with my own parents. Wonderful memories.

    The first home I built, in 1975, was a small one room,off grid, board and batten cabin with an outhouse. In 1978 when my son was born I realized that I needed a real bathroom! It was no fun anymore walking through knee deep in snow, in the middle of a New Hampshire winter, at night, in below 0 degrees! So we sold the cabin and got a house with TWO bathrooms!! 😂 So I understand what it means to have a real bathroom! Congratulations and enjoy the wonders of plumbing!! 🛀🏻🚽😁. FUN VIDEO ❤

You and John are truly giving your boys the best in life. Problem with a lot of children in SA is they are allergic to work..... It's so inspiring how you and John make it fun for them.

So I am constantly upping my game. Hopefully you will share the products you decide on and share them with us. Thanx for another wonderful episode. I will arrive in Portugal and begin working on my land with a river in central. I am interested to see how your system works. I have nothing on my land but a river. So need a septic, hydro power and a caravan to live in until I can build. Excited. Keep sharing. I can't wait for the biopool. Cheers Newbys. Gina in Upstate New York USA moving to Portugal/Italy

    So sorry for you! I used for 8 years such a waste tank but - seeing you - I consider I was lucky. The company which sold us the tank included in the price the whole installation process. They digged the hole, digged the grooves for the leaking water under the garden, made all the electrics, leaving outside a control panel. They also gave us a lot of chemicals to drop in the toilet but, in time, we replaced the chemicals with... yogurt 🙂. Good luck further, the tank will be a great relief for the family!

    I've never seen such a setup but it looks very eco friendly. Best of luck with it to do as it says. It looks very interesting. Wondering if they have such things used in the US. I am sure they must perhaps. We are on our property for 50 years now and never an issue with the old fashioned big cement tank and inlet and outlet. Never any issues and we check it every so often. I do put a bit of yeast down it every couple times a year, not much but it keeps it active, that or a bit of raw hamburger. I learned that from the owners of this property originally who used it in their place for year. They were indeed real old time homesteaders. Most all of their assist on such ideas of 50 years ago have exactly worked for us over the many years.
    Best of luck to you and anxious to see how it all works out. One thing I never put down the drain are coffee grounds. They do better in the garden.......they tend to plug up lines to the septic works.
    Blessings

    Hi you all. I don’t message very often, but I have watched you since day one. You are both an inspiration to us all.
    I have to say Tara ,if I wasn’t straight John would be the man of my dreams. But as I am John, Tara would be the lady of my dreams. You have both lived a great life that I can only imagine. You have given your two children the opportunity to live their best lives.
    I can only wonder what’s in store for them.
    Carry on keeping it real. Enjoy your life and your holidays because you really do deserve it.
    You get back for what you give. And believe me, with that in mind. This time next year, you should be millionaires.
    And please please please .Don’t ever make a vlog when your dog dies. Take time out like the sincere and dignified people you are and just put out a message.
    KEEP ON KEEPING IT REAL.
    Love you all. ❤❤❤❤❤

    Fascinating! And a real wake-up call for those of us who are probably not as mindful as we might be. Being plumbed to the local water district can make you less careful about what you let go slinking down your drain. When we were more rural, with a septic tank, there was more awareness of what went down the pipes. So, thanks for this episode that has got me thinking about my own habits.
    Also, the next time I need plumbing help from my handyman, I’ll lead with a bag of gummies! John, you are good sport.

    Cracking project. 👏👏. If this has been mentioned before ( lots of comments to go through ! ), I apologise, but......the cable entries to the two grey boxes ( the small 85mmx85mm one and the timer socket. The cable entries need protecting with stuffing glands, 16mm on the small box and I think, 20mm (maybe 25mm) on the timer socket. This protects the cable sheath and stops water/ condensation entering the boxes. 10 minute job.
    Be safe.
    Loving the videos.....keep 'em rolling. 🙂

So cute how Obi wanted to be part of the waterdrop job, wonderful. Had a good laugh when Tara said 'look me in the eye John and promise me you read the instruction manual' John glances up and says 'I promise' then looks back down and says 'well i read that bit' heehee x

I would rather have my teeth pulled. John, I’m feeling for you. Hang in there.

    Another good saying for the merch t-shirts John, 'You Don't Know What You Don't know'.

Your boys are going to grow up not being afraid to do any job at hand, thanks to John and you Tara. Have a lovely week.

    My dad was an engineer and basically could fix anything and as his child assistant on many projects, he would always say “there 2 things that are not my favorite and that’s plumbing and electric bc both gave him a headache so marry a plumber or an electrician” 😂😂. Good team work with your septic tank. I believe everyone needs to learn basics about everything. I will attempt to fix everything that breaks and leave the plumbing and major electrical to real tradesmen. I love being on septic and well water.

But my Dad had a list of things we didn't put down the pipe. We put it with or farm animal waste and were used for our crops. I'm pleased to see you doing the same thing.
