This $69 septic filter kit ships free and comes complete with filter, housing tee that fits Sch40 or SDR35 four inch pipe, and a handle extension kit.
Every septic system should take the precaution to avoid sending particulates out into the leach field.
Particulates join over the years to form a sludge layer in the bottom of your leach field, called "bio-mat".
Bio-mat clogs the soil in your leach field and drainage and it fails to function: drainage entirely stops.
If you have a single compartment septic tank or are not able to install the septic filter inside of the second compartment of your tank, then add our $375 filter basin settling tank kit in-line after your septic tank.
With a settling tank filter basin in-line after the septic tank, you are in-effect adding an extra settling compartment to the system.
PLEASE DON'T USE SEPTIC TANK ADDITIVES.
Septic system additives are truly a waste of money and nearly all are harmful to the environment.
Septic system additives supposedly break down fats and solids in the septic tank.
In practice, this just allows smaller particulates to pass through the septic filter (hopefully you have one) where they re-unite in the leach field forming a dense bio-mat.
We would never suggest flushing septic system additives into your septic tank.
The FDA does not approve of any of them - none of these septic cleaning and/or maintenance products have been proven effective.
At best, they will do no harm to your septic system or the environment, just waste your money.
For me, the deciding factor is to ask yourself if you would like to see these additives find their way into your well water.
Anything that can supposedly digest raw sewage should scare a person to have in their drinking water and thus their digestive system.
A properly designed septic tank (two compartments and large enough) is going to operate just fine without additives.
Avoid those "too good to be true" septic system additives on the market today.

Tank shown with filter for illustration only | Nothing beats a nice tank. While larger settling tanks are possible - we do not ship them. Part of the "trick" with tank sizing is that the second or third compartment (in-line settling tank) does not need to be large, if the septic tank itself is sized properly. This $375 (includes shipping) durable, buried vault is just the right size for your normal family and has long been a standard part every system we sell. Solid debris (lint, hair, and dirt) settles to the bottom and grease (fats) float to the top. A priceless tip is to avoid "natural" or otherwise bar soaps, which are often 99% refined chicken fat - liquid soaps are advised (avoid bleach and borax for better septic tank health). Passive (non-electric no moving parts) - as septic efluent flows in, clarified graywater irrigation flows out; nice and simple like it should be for carefree passive operation. Septic filter/settling basin kit includes: 26" diameter by 42" tall tank with lid, SDR35 rubber grommets for 4 inch SDR35 inlet and outlet pipes (inlet hole not shown in picture), neoprene lid gasket, and tamper resistant lid fasteners to keep children out of tank. Filter with housing and handle kit is sold separate above for $69. |

A WORD ABOUT PUMPING SEPTIC TANKS
Check both compartments yearly and pump when enough solids accumulate in first compartment to spill over into second compartment - usually about sixteen inches, but consult manufacturer of tank
