This may be daunting at first, but easy once you know how to handle septic systems. These are merely high level item, and by no means “the end all be all” of sceptic knowledge:

• You’ll need to pump on a regular basis. This will depend on how many people live at your residence, how much wastewater you dump, and the size of your tank.
• A good idea is to communicate with the people who lived there prior to hear about the specifics of your system.
• Upon moving in, it is the responsibility of the sellers to ensure the septic tank has been purged.
• Many cleaning products (ex. bleach) are not good for septic systems. Read the fine print to ensure you do not destroy the beneficial bacteria that helps digest (eww) your waste.
