Don't Forget About Your Septic Tank?
The humble septic tank lies underground in your yard, forgotten by many families as it performs its job. However, leaving your tank without the proper maintenance for too long can cause a nasty mess when it fills up and backs up into the home. Have your septic tank inspected for sewage levels at least once a year. Calling a professional service technician will help you determine when it needs pumping. Keeping solid waste out of the tank also helps the septic system go longer in between pumping. Having the tank pumped is far less expensive than dealing with a clogged system.

What is the purpose of the Septic tank vent?
Any empty tank is really a tank full of air. If you want water to go into a tank or pipe or drain then you have to allow the air to escape out of it. We allow the air to escape through a "vent pipe," connected to the tank. When refering to septic tanks, this pipe is called a "septic tank vent." Unless we use a zeocarbon filter on the "septic tank vent", the vile air coming out smells like a combination of rotten eggs and ammonia. Some septic tanks are upgraded to include aeration systems where electric or solar powered aerators bubble air into the liquid in the septic tank. Although these systems treat water faster and produce cleaner treated wastewater you still need a "septic tank vent," to let the air escape from the tank so water can go into it.

What shouldn't go in the septic tank?
Do you mean septic tank? Lots of waste water treatment systems get called septic tank in error. Real septic tanks are simple, usually underground, digestion/fermentation vessels that are connected to weaper drains or (illegally in the UK) suface water courses that get rid of high nutrient content, but basically clean, water from the system. They need attention extremely infrequently when they are working properly and are in suitable soil. As such, nothing that bacteria cannot reasonably quickly digest can go down the drain - especially plastics.
