Why would you want to pressure test a septic tank system? This is not recommended as most septic tanks are gravity systems and should not build up pressure. You can visually check your drop tank 5,000 - 10,000 gallons and your gray water tank 500 gallons for cracks. Make sure that all sewer line are on grade or you will have a vapor lock causing air to bubble in your toilet while draining water.
