∙ 11y agoAll waste water from a house flows in to the 'settling tank' Most settling tanks are about 4 x 4 x 8 and have a drain at opposite end. The drain is usually about 3 " below the intake, so about 8 cubic feet of water difference. In the settling tank, solids first sink to the bottom and black water lies above it. The grey water at the top slowly drains into the final, or pump tank. From here it drains by gravity, or is pumped to the 'separation box'. In this box, underground near the septic field, water drains into
4-6 pipes branching off from the separation box. These pipes have small holes all along the bottom. The idea is for it to filter into every pipe and leach slowly into the ground.
In a good system, the solids in the settling tank will react to biological action and be consumed by microbes and earthworms. (this is one reason to keep bleach and other chemicals OUT of the septic system.)
