Happy Hump Day!!

“Hot tubs are a great way to relax. Unfortunately, your septic system was not designed to handle large quantities of water from your hot tub. Emptying hot tub water into your septic system stirs the solids in the tank and pushes them out into the drainfield, causing it to clog and fail. Draining your hot tub into a septic system or over the drainfield can overload the system. Instead, drain cooled hot tub water onto turf or landscaped areas well away from the septic tank and drainfield, and in accordance with local regulations. Use the same caution when draining your swimming pool.”

Septic Tip:

2 Signs your septic system is ill:

1) You flush a downstairs toilet and hear gurgling in the bathtub.
2) When you wash clothes, gray water comes up in the kitchen sink.

If your tank is full, the waste has to go somewhere so it either pools up in your yard or stands in the pipes under your house looking for the first open drain available. Or, worst case scenario, the pipes cannot hold the pressure and burst. Be very careful and watch the drain in your house that is closest to your septic tank.

Septic Tip:

Contrary to what you might think, septic systems are not built to accomodate the number of restrooms in your home. They are built to accomodate the number of bedrooms so keep this in mind if you are adding any new bedrooms. If you do not add to your field lines when adding additional bedrooms, this can cause issues on how well your septic system functions, which results in requiring frequent services and problems if you plan on selling your home.

Do not use disinfecting toilet bowl cleaners, such as those containing bleach or acid compounds. The continuous slow release of these chemicals into the septic system kills the micro-organisms which treat your waste water.
