Feces!

I wonder if septic systems are different in Aus than in the US, or other places. Clearly that video says it's common practice to get them sucked out, but everyone here has a fit if you even suggest the idea.

Oh well. We've been here for over 6 yrs and never done anything and not even a sign of any problems. It's been looked at once or twice for other reasons, and had the all clear. Talk about stinky though. Bleurgh!

Tank is a filter. It keeps solids out of the field. Problems mean it is too late. Pumping out a tank is near zero money. Digging up, removing, and then installing a new field can be as much as a years income.

You don't see problems until long after a field must be replaced. Cheaper is to pump out the tank.
