#1 Don't put anything down your septic that can't be degraded.
#2 Use a Septic Tank Treatment. I treat my septic once a month and I can go longer without pumping.
#3 Have your septic at least checked every 3-5 years and pumped if needed!
The most important thing you can do to maintain your septic tank is to stop putting a living room carpets worth of non-biodegradable, non-settlable, tiny, poly fibers into it every year. Thats what you are doing now unless you have a +300 micron washing machine lint trap.
For clogging, slow drains, drain field failure visible by wet spots in your yard, use the all-natural advanced formula Septic-Helper 2000 and Enza drain line cleaner from MillerPlante.net, It has the 8 natural bacteria and enzymes that digest the waste in the tank and out in the drain field. To reduce your phosphate and nitrate levels to zero coming from your Laundry, use their new all-natural, allergen free Enza washer-balls. According to the EPA, chemicals used in the home are the #1 problem polluting water supplies and water wells.
The Enza Washer Balls, in contact with water, the ceramic contained in the Laundry Ball releases electrons, thus forming active oxygen and hydrogen peroxide (oxygenated water). The water that comes in contact with Washing Ball, either gains or loses electrons. The reaction generates powerful oxidized reducing power. The term oxidized reducing power means the phenomena that gives or receives electrons to a substance. When a substance loses electrons by combining with oxygen, it is called oxidization, and the phenomenon receiving the electrons that lose oxygen is called reduction. The electrons, released from the ceramic, dissolve the water (H2O), and perform purification repeatedly with the chemical reaction with the hydrogen-generated ion and the active oxygen provided with electrons.
New federal regulations require that states clean up their water supplies. It mandates new inspections on all septic systems, water wells and with funding, local waterways. A failed inspection would include a slow drain in your leach field, low septic tank bacteria levels or elevated Nitrate levels in your Water Well or local Water Supplies; could require replacement of your entire system for $10K to $80K+ or connect to the city sewer system for $5K to $40K. The new inspections are failing 12% of systems each year and 82% of those older than 1977. Contact your local County Health Department for more information on regulations in your area.

The main difference between a septic tank and a cesspool is how they treat wastewater. A septic tank separates solids from liquids and allows the liquids to flow into a drain field for further treatment. A cesspool simply collects all the wastewater in one underground chamber without separating solids. In terms of residential wastewater treatment, a septic tank is generally more suitable because it provides better treatment of the wastewater before it is released into the environment. It is more environmentally friendly and helps prevent groundwater contamination compared to a cesspool.
