I agree. Had you >>not<< aerated your tank, your field would still be working. Here is my latest thoughts. Go back to anaerobic and use chemicals to clear your field. I have detailed 2 that worked for me in my Doc File.
There is more to bacterial additives that I am researching. My neighbor could NOT have gone 30+ years without pumping his tank if the Roebic K-37 was not doing anything. I called my brother in law who is a professional plumber to talk to him about septic tank bacteria. He said the bacteria converts the TSS (Total Suspended Solids)into a liquid so TSS doesn't get into the field
Take a sample of the tank water exiting the tank before & after adding K37 and I suspect the water will be MUCH cleaner. The only way to know for sure is if we prove this ourselves. The internet cannot be trusted with this.
