Chris, I agree that your leach field is running slow. MOST IMPORTANT: Install risers above your septic tank, as seen in my report. Do both the input side of the tank and the output side of the tank. Your tank MUST be serviceable. Then make certain that the output side of the tank has a waste filter installed. With this work done, you can easily make regular inspections of the water level in your tank, and easily clean the septic filter annually. If you see the water level rising above the outlet pipe, then you know that your leaching lines need to be jetted out. Don’t waste mon ...

I have been considering ways to take aerated effluent from an added aeration tank and reintroducing it to the septic tank at a continuous slow controlled rate so’s not to create TSS. My latest thought is I could place an upside down funnel with a hose attached and positioned over my aggressive aerator, in the aeration tank. I think it would generate enough pressure to create flow. I could then add a simple irrigation valve to control the flow.

SewerRat, The problem with aerating a tank is that sludge is stirred up from the bottom creating a Septic Soup. This sludge is not what we think it is. It is composed of zillions of microscopic particles that get suspended in the soup, called TSS (Total Suspended Solids). They flow right through your filter under water pressure, and then clog up the filter. These solids take a long time to settle back to the bottom of the tank, like several weeks.

It does for a few days. However once the water is aerated, the stink goes away. Aerating a septic tank creates more serious problems.

No it is better in your pump tank if you can make it work there. The 2nd chamber of your septic tank will accumulate some sludge that was not trapped into the 1st chamber, and all of that sludge will enter your septic field when it is stirred up by an aerator. I don’t like aeration unless it is in the D Box to directly aerate what goes into the laterals. All sludge should be contained within the septic tank and not be stirred up to be sent to the field.

Your aerator should work if it is placed on the output side of your dual chamber septic tank. An aerator will not work on a single chamber tank. All it does in a single chamber tank is to stir up the sludge and send it out to your septic field. The concrete cone is the output baffle to prevent the scum from getting into your leach field.

How deep is the water in your pump tank? The sludgehammer requires a deep tank. You may need the SepticAirAid model which will work in shallow water.

A little late getting the report back... but essentially I ran with the K-37 for a couple of months. At the end I could see no noticeable improvement in clarity. There may be other variables in my system that weren’t being factored, but that’s how it was for me. Hope this helps. I need to catch up on the other threads, but for now my plan is to add a distribution box, jet my lines, then shock the system with oxygen (forget the additive of choice).   [End]

Yes, I have to hire the septic plumber to dig up the D Box and install the riser. Then he will blast out the laterals with his high pressure hose and his truck will suck out the water & sludge just like he was draining the septic tank. His high pressure pump is far more powerful than mine. When he is done, I can do it myself with my own pressure pump and my Clog Hog the next time. The plumber will then dump a 50 gallon barrel of hydrogen peroxide into the D-Box. I am still pouring Lime-Sulfur (septic seep) into the D-Box. This is going very slow, because the field is so clogged up. My ...

Thanks for the suggestions Grizz. When you jet your lines, are you going to pump them out at the same time? You also mentioned chemicals not working anymore. Have you discovered a problem with Septic Seep, or the active ingredients in it? I’m thinking if aerating the leach lines doesn’t improve drainage, that may be my next step. Thanks again for sharing your experience with this stuff. sewerrat   [End]

Septic Solutions has a fine selection of pumps. I suggest using an airstone bubbler. Other bubblers I’ve seen take so much pressure that they will run up your electric bill & wear out the pump prematurely. IMO, if you can’t blow through the bubbler with your mouth, it is not suitable. This was my pump http://www.septicsolutions.com/SepticAirPumps/HiblowLinear.html?gclid=CMj6_KCEvb0CFWXl7AodUh0AMQ#60 and it pumped more than enough air and was only 51 watts. Be careful, some of those pumps will run up your electric bill. It looks like I will be forced into Jetting out the laterals ...

I’m thinking of getting the Hiblow 80 or 100 aeration motor. I would appreciate any advice on pumps and fine bubble defusers since this is for max aeration without the concern of mixing solids. Thanks, sewerrat   [End]

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 th ...

Yah, the Curezone crashed and lost all data from yesterday. Thank GOD they have a backup for their massive data base. I think you are doing everything right! You are an inspiration to others. I have to get my field jetted out and get a riser installed over my D-Box. I’m getting estimates today. I will install an aerator in the d-box at that time. Grizz   [End]

Hi Grizz, This is my second response to your post. The first is gone. I knew their basic location, because you can see them when the grass dies in the summer. I used a probe (3/8” pointed rod with a T-handle). The lines are about 2’ deep. The probe goes through the dirt fairly easy this time of year, but stops when it comes to the rock. So it’s not difficult if the soil’s not too hard. Thanks for the compliment, although my ideas are not all original. I went back and read more and discovered the post where you did indeed make the suggestion of the extra tank for aeration. I’ll let you ...

Thanks, I’ve uncovered my leach line ends, and ran a snake down one. The other three are just submerged. I’ve ordered a clog hog to clean them out. While I’m waiting for drier weather, I’m considering getting a little air compressor and bleeding a stream of air into the lines. I’ll attach a hose or tube to the end of the snake, push it into the leach line. Then I’ll start feeding air real slow and stand clear of the open end of the pipe. I’m hoping it will percolate the line and start killing the bio-mat. Makes me think if I ever put new lines in it might be cool to install a small perfor ...

Hi all, I’m new here and I’ve read the threads on aeration stirring up solids that cause problems in the leach field. I have a two chamber septic box but I’m still concerned. I don’t believe my system uses a D-BOX, but rather jumper lines that join them. So my idea is to add an extra tank just down stream from the septic tank. Since this fluid is already headed for the field, I will not concern myself with worrying about stirring up solids, rather focus on making it boil with fresh air. I found a 200 gal. plastic tank that I’m considering. I welcome opinions. Thanks, sewrrat   [End]

Lol, I’m game!!! Knowledge is power + strength in numbers! I took a pic of a clear water bottle with a sample before adding. I dropped in the K-37, so Christmas eve I’ll have a report in your stocking. :?)

I agree. Had you not not ot 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 int ...

Bob, Is your D box aeration set up yet? @@ No, they are sitting on my desk awaiting installation. I’m still watching my tank daily and all is well. I’ll get the required hoses from the hardware the next time I get there to fit the air stones to my air pump. I also need special sized barbs to match one hose size to another and adaptors to go from one hose into 3 airstones. This part is a pain in the butt. - I assume even with those inexpensive fish tank aerators for the D box I still need to have an electric pump. Can I run the hose through the D box riser as oppose to through the sept ...

What you likely have is an old Cesspool. How large is it? See this link: http://www.septicairaid.com/cesspoolproblems.html How many people live in your house? How far around your cesspool has the soil turned into clay? I’m afraid I may not be much help on this one. I’m surprised it worked for so many years. There are only 3 chemicals that I know of that may help restore your drainage. 1) Sodium Percarbonate or the equivalent 30% hydrogen Peroxide to eliminate the ”Biomat” Get hydrogen peroxide at a local pool supply store.

Thank you so much for all the info! I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to avoid a new septic system...no way can I afford it! I’ve even gone so far as to consider a waterless composting toilet! So scary! I’m wondering if any if your remedies might work on my system. The biggest problem is that it’s not a ”real” septic system. It was put in over 34 years ago and is a homemade, cinder block ”tank” surrounded by rock and gravel and buried under what used to be well draining soil. The ”tank” is very small and was intended for occasional use but things have evolved over the ye ...

Mike, Sodium Percarbonate is in fact liquid air when mixed with water. It will break up the biomat and restore water flow. You’ll need about 40 lbs of sodium percarbonate mixed in water added over 4 days. After that, in order to keep your septic field aerated, I suggest adding a settling tank between your septic tank and your D Box, and then add an inexpensive aerator to this tank. I was recently looking at some nice 250 gal tanks at my nearest Tractor Supply store. Your septic plumber can also add a settling tank for you. I think the IDEAL is to add a small dual chamber septic tank betw ...

Grizz Thanks for all your efforts. I am having similar problems (Septic tank over flows onto lawn). I am going to dig up my D-Box, use a clog-hog and add the sodium percarbonate to the drain field lines. I may also try to add the input baffle, but I will need to find/create an access for the input side (single chamber tank with access only on output side found). My question is do you have any thoughts to adding air to the leech field? My thought process is based on my understanding that Aerobic bacteria occur naturally in the field and boosting the oxygen content directly in the leech ...

You could jump over to the parasite forum, but I can help guide you as it can be a bit overwhelming.
