It's easy enough to prove your theory. Check the sludge level with a sludge measurement tool. Tank sludge level is usually never higher than 1/3 of tank depth. Because at 1/3 level the sludge is carried out of the tank by flow currents. Or if you installed a effluent filter on the tank discharge...

Hello, At one time Pumper.com had a email forum. A member posted the story. I searched my saved emails but no luck. The new forum is at: COLE Publishing Forums - Powered by vBulletin I also checked Snopes.com for rumor status. Nothing at snopes. I'll post if I can find anything else...

The oxygen getting to the old system through your drain pipe will renew it in about 15 years like you never used it. Code probably requires everthing to go to the septic system but Oh Well... I've though about using the softener discharge to de-ice the driveway. Seems like it would work...

Very good gentlemen, Just remember to pump out regularly. Additives are usually not needed but having a customer use additives reminds them they have a septic system. Versus out of sight, out of mind. Dennis.... DennisHoover.com My big toy:Tanker Restoration
