While waiting for the clog hog, ran a 3/8" hose taped near the end of a snake up one of the lines. This line is near full of fluid , but I believe mostly clear of solids as it snaked easily. At first I turned the compressor on slow as I could and sent it in and back out. That stirred up black very fine material. Then I ran it about half way in and blocked the end with a piece of bubble wrap to seal the end and force the air through the leach holes. Unfortunately I only have the one side of this line exposed and couldn't witness the activity on both ends. But that may help force air into the leach holes. When I turn the compressor on the fluid rises 1/2" as the fluid is forced out and then bubbles pretty vigorously. I think it will be beneficial, but it's a little loud and it can't be run continuously. So I'm still planning on buying an aeration pump that will be used for the added aeration tank and using that pump to aerate the leach lines. That way I can run the pump continuously without pissing the neighbors off.
It's still raining off and on and I don't know how far the lines will drain. So far the fluid has only gone below the top of one and the fluid level recedes slowly. After cleaning I foresee needing Septic Seep. Are there any downsides to using this product?
Grizz, when you jet clean your lines, are you going to pump that fluid out?

Thanks, sewerrat
