Well just to update anyone who may be interested...... I made it through the winter without any issue. I frequently remove the cap from the outlet line going to my leachpit, and can see the "water" slowly flowing down the pipe towards the field, with out backup. Of course that is only for a short while after showering or laundry, then the trickle of water slows down and stops. Therefore, looks like the system is doing it's job, and I am very relieved knowing I can just dig down 2" and remove the cap and see the outlet is not plugged. That ensures my tanks not overfilled. When it's just me taking a quick shower, sometimes the level in tank doesn't even rise enough to flow down outlet pipe because there isn't a tight seal between tank and outlet pipe. Over a days time, I am hardly home at all, so the tank level drops enough from seepage to allow a quick shower and not quite reach pipe outlet level. I poured 4 gals of the Cess-Flo in early November just to help any buildup in leach bed. I will do 4 more gallons soon. This is just a precaution, I probably don't even need to do this, but I will. I will have the tank pumped next summer, and every other year going forward. Hope the info helps anybody out there looking. Mike
