not really as septic tanks are designed to separate solids and liquids. they are then connected by a pipe to a leech field which deals with the liquids.... so if ground water runs in, it could saturate the leech field such that it QUITS leeching-and now you have stinky mess rolling out the top of the septic tank. Even a running toilet is a big concern for the same reason.

Why is ground water good?

Groundwater is good because it is a reliable source of clean drinking water and plays a crucial role in supporting ecosystems and agriculture. It is also less susceptible to pollution and evaporation compared to surface water sources. Groundwater helps sustain water supplies during droughts and provides a buffer against surface water contamination.


What is a good example of an aquifer?

Generally, it is a geological formation that holds or transfers water. Most often to wells, springs, etc. It can be above or below ground. Above ground, many bodies of water stored behind dams could be referred to as an aquifer. Below ground, there can be natural formations that naturally store ground water and can be tapped with wells to provide drinking water. All aquifers have a rate at which the water can be tapped and still replenish it's levels. These vary for all of them. Lake Meade behind the Hoover Dam is a good example of an aquifer being tapped above the rate at which it can replenish it's levels.

Can you backwash your pool to your septic tank?

No, the chlorine concentration in your pool water is designed to kill all of the bacteria that end up in the water in order to keep your pool clean. The bacteria in your septic tank are good bacteria that break down what you flush down the toilet so that it doesnt get backed-up. Dumping your pool water into the septic tank will kill these good bacteria and stop your septic tank from working. THIS WILL BE VERY BAD. So the bottom line is definitely NO. If you need somewhere to empty your pool, get a long enough hose to dump it into a storm drain on the street. (thats even what the pros do)


How can the ozone be both good and bad for life on earth?

Ozone is good when it is in the stratosphere, as it protects us from harmful UV radiation by absorbing it. However, ozone at ground level can be harmful to living organisms, causing respiratory problems and damaging crops, as it is a major component of smog.
