Septic Tank Filters

Screen filters are not the best choice for drip irrigation filtration. Some form of three dimensional filter is much better at capturing organics.

Have your nonmechanical systems inspected every 1-2 years, and have your tank pumped every 2-3 years, or as recommended by an onsite professional. Have mechanical system inspected at frequencies ranging from once a month to once ever 6 months depending on the complexity of the system.

If you properly maintain your system, it should last for a very long time, and cost you much less money and anxiety. If you do not, then your system could fail at any time, and you might not even know until it's too late.
