I don't think we have a pump. We have this little bubbler thing that pushes air in to the tank, if that's what you're talking about?

And no baby wipes. Learned that pretty quickly.

If you just bought house you should pump the tank anyway. Do you have a modal or septic tank?

yes, that's your aerator. check to see if your discharge line is flowing. does the tank have field lines or sprinkler heads? how does your septic tank drain?

There is also a filter. If the filter gets clogged you will have some dookie water on the ground around your septic tank. Once you get the problem fixed, put a little bit of raw ground meat and chicken down your garbage disposal monthly. It will provide much needed bacteria to keep things running. There are also commercial products available for this.

Thats what I was talking about, make sure that's running. shite tanks are finicky as far as what chemicals you can put in them and what not. Some kill off the shite eating bacteria and thats not good.
