A properly designed septic tank system will have a septic tank with sufficient volume to accumulate solids for several years. Over time the solids accumulate and begin to fill up the septic tank. If these solids are not periodically pumped out, suspended solid particles may begin to flow into the drainfield.
These solids will eventually clog the drainfield and may require the installation of a new drainfield. Newer septic tank systems are required to have an effluent filter located on the outlet of the septic tank.
The purpose of this filter is to protect the drainfield by trapping suspended solids. If the septic tank is not pumped out periodically, the effluent filter may become clogged causing wastewater to back up into the house.
A specific determination of when it’s time to pump a septic tank can be made by having the depth of the solids and level of scum buildup checked periodically. New septic tanks have an access port over the inlet and outlet tees to facilitate the cleaning of the effluent filter and pumping of the tank.
Two factors primarily affect the pumping frequency required. The first factor is the holding capacity of the septic tank. The more people using a system, the faster the solids build up, and the more frequently the tank will have to be pumped. A larger capacity system provides better treatment and requires less pumping. The standard three or four bedroom house has a 1000 gallon septic tank.
The second factor is the amount of solids in the wastewater. If you have a garbage disposal, you will have to pump out your septic tank more frequently. The use of a garbage disposal may increase the amount of solids in a septic tank by as much as 50%. Pouring grease or other non-biodegradable types of solid waste drown the drain will add to the accumulation of solids. Homes with garbage disposals are required to increase the size of their septic tank by 50%. A three or four bedroom house with a garbage disposal is required to have a 1500 gallon septic tank.
The recommended pumping frequency for pumping out septic tanks can be estimated based on assuming a wastewater retention time of 24 hours and assuming that 50% of the solids are digested by bacterial action in the tank. The following table can be used as a guide for average home water usage without a garbage disposal.
