    100%. Had a septic inspection before we bought our property. Sellers paid $29,500 to replace the septic.

    I installed and worked on sprinklers systems for years. The sharpshooter shovel is your best friend. This is hard work and I very much appreciate your work ethic. Amazing

    Brother, I wish I had known about your videos before I bought our house. Unfortunately, after buying our house we discovered a problem, which led me to RUclips searches. That's when I stumbled across your videos. I have learned so much from watching. Please, keep up the good work and awesome videos! I will definitely spread the word about checking out your videos to anyone I know that is about to buy a home with a Septic system!

    Good work as always bro!! I knew nothing about septic systems before I started watching your channel. Now I have a pretty solid understanding on everything. I appreciate your information!!

    Inspection and pump out is a must here in AZ when selling. We joke you literally have to take your 💩 with ya.

    Love watching your videos very informative. I was surprised you didn’t mention the running water on the inlet side, mentioning that to the new homeowner. Somethings leaking if there’s nobody in the house. Great fun.

    I recently saw a Cottonelle package of "Flushable" wipes that claimed to break down like regular Toilet paper after 30 seconds.
    At the same time when I was working in the same isle the baby wipes on the other side had a massive "DO NOT FLUSH" warning directly on the other side.

    Seriously, risers should be SOP when the system is installed just to save effort not having to dig up the lids come maintenance time.

    My house was built in 1981 My comcrete septic tank is taking in huge amounts of rain water whenever the water table goes high. Pump runs constantly when this happens. I have had some quotes for tank replacement and most companies are recommending a fiberglass tank........not sure if i should request concrete, I am in manitoba canada and we see plus 34c in the summer and -40c in the winter. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!

    • @bmaiceman

      Don't do fiberglass tank.... They are prone to getting brittle over time and will eventually collapse

    Still trying to understand inlet and outlet.🙂

    • @PoorPumperSociety
      @PoorPumperSociety  2 года назад +6

      Inlet is the pipe that enters the tank from the home. Outlet is the pipe exiting the tank to the drain field. Hope that helps 😄

    Do you recommend risers and a plastic lid that sets at ground level to avoid the digging next time. What about a filter between the solid and liquid tanks.

    @beckymesterhazi4624 2 года назад +3

    Why do people cover the lids with grass and dirt you’ll have to dig up every time!. I’d have a lid level with the grass, Or an inch below and put fake grass on top of the lid.
    Anyway!, I’m very lucky not to have this extra expense as I live in the uk 🇬🇧 and our country is too small!

    Do you refill with water when done? Is it like a new septic that you fill so it doesn't pop out of ground? That's got to be the biggest paint stirrer ever lol.

      That’s only for new tanks. When you get your tank pumped out they don’t do that.

    Wouldnt you want to run a locator down the outlet or probe and dig test pits in the leach field next to the pipes/chambers? Those are more expensive than the tank.

    I’m a little ignorant on the subject of septics, but if you diverted grey water( washing machine) would it disrupt normal operation of a septic tank?

    • @michaelburns8073
      @michaelburns8073 2 года назад +4

      No, it would actually help by keeping detergents and bleach out of the septic tank, which can kill bacteria that a good septic tank needs to function well.
