What would cause the pipes to rattle whenever the hot water recirculating pump is running?

I don't even know what a recirculating pump does but when fast moving water hits a corner or elbow it has a force that can move the pipe. Most likely the pipes need a bit more tie downs. Hopefully the pipes aren't in the walls. Get someone to cut the water on and you go hunt the rattle.

Can you connect rainwater pipes to a septic tank?

No. It would be a violation of most building and health codes.Why would you want to? Why not buy a water tank and catch the rain water for other uses.The water from a moderate to heavy rain will exceed the capacity of the septic tank. It could cause sewage to backup into the home. It could also cause sewage to backup out of the rainwater pipes. The extra water will upset the micro-environment that the bacteria need to process the waste. You may end up with a smelly tank.Too much water may send unprocessed waste into the absorption field pipes and clog them. This would be veryexpensive to fix. Clogged pipes in the absorption field cannot be repaired. The only solutions are: (1) a new absorption field (if there is room on the property); or (2) a personal sewage treatment plant.You would be liable for any damage caused to neighboring properties. Moreover, some jurisdictions provide criminal penalties for anyone that modifies a septic system in such a manner that it could contaminate water downstream.

What would cause well water to suddenly turn rusty?

Well water can turn rusty suddenly due to high levels of iron in the water source or pipes. This can be caused by corrosion of iron pipes, bacterial activity, or changes in water chemistry. It's important to test the water to determine the exact cause and consider installing a water treatment system if needed.
