Have your tank pumped and inspected every few years, or as needed for maintenance.

Don’t pour any solvents, chemicals, or oils of any kind into your drain or toilet.

Only flush toilet paper, no other paper or plastic products. Your potty is not a trash can.

Use bleach and other potent cleaners sparingly, including drain cleaners.

Never dispose of grease, coffee grounds, or popcorn in your sink.

Practice water conservation – this means fewer clogs in your system.

Don’t send bacteria killing toxins down the drain. You need it to break down your waste.

Choose to compost instead of using a garbage disposal. If you have one already, use less.

Feminine hygiene products can clog your system. Don’t flush even if it says ‘flushable’.

If you notice any issues with your system, have it checked immediately. Problems left unfixed could cause even more frustration and expense.
