In the video above, the reporter dives deep into the misconceptions about the frequency and necessity of septic pumping. He goes into how confusing it is to know when to pump one's systems. Because of this dilemma, he goes into using a special tool that will help any septic tank owner feel more comfortable knowing when to pump their system.
Next, the reporter goes into how a septic tank works. He describes it as pretty much like a chemistry project by saying that the amount of waste that we produce affects the maintenance, fluidity, and longevity of the septic tank. He also goes on to describe that tanks are usually made of concrete and that the wastewater product is separated into three separate layers trapping the solids and greases. If the process does not work properly, then one knows it's probably time to pump out their system.
Finally, the reporter goes into how the core sampler works. First, one needs to push the core sampler through one's septic system. Once this is complete, you will be able to see the sludge which, per the reporter, should be around 25 to 33 percent. Depending on how much sludge there is, it might be time to pump out your system. Keeping one's system up to date is key.
