$100 Septic System

We put in a septic system with a water tote and some pipe.

[@vflrockytop]

A lot of negative comments on here but I think its a great alternative rather than just dumping the shit on the ground. Its just for a camper, not a 5 bedroom house....

[@bustedwagonranch4546]

Thanks for seeing that. This was a temporary solution to a temporary problem. Now it works great for a outside washing machine and a drinking fountain.

[@Theallis1961]

appreciated the video but the music volume is louder thsn your vocal and I couldn't understand most of what you were saying.Thanks.

[@nazimbaluch6020]

Music is counter productive to the info you want to put out there - description voice is low - almost muted in the presence of the background music. Thanks for the video.

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

This is a cool alternative! Ive got a similar project. One thing; I noticed at around 3:40 when your adding concrete around your pipe. When we run pipes through concrete like that what we do is take some pvc glue and smear it around the area to pass through the concrete then before the glue sets rub some sand in it. this will provide some 'tooth' for the concrete to grab. Hate for that inlet to slip down into the tank.

Getting tired of liers on youtube , everybody just click baits people . I think youtube needs to have a clickbait option so we can stop all this . Im tired of trying to watch a video and find out its not the titled video

[@TheRevivalOtherStuff]

sportster davidson dude, relax. It’s clear they live in a rural area and had access to this kind of equipment. It’s nice of them to take the time to share their knowledge. Septic systems cost FIFTEEN THOUSAND dollars. If you had to pay a 10th of that you can cry a river.... into your cheap septic system? Chill.

[@reidtobin6195]

For just a temporary stay or hunting cabin I think this would work fine with the exception that I think you should have a way to empty your solids. And with a lot of Ridex (healthy tank) thanks for the video.

[@codysmith8499]

Reid Tobin ridex is just glorified wood shavings hardly does anything for the tank bioclean is where it’s at

[@tysondundas1947]

For the time and effort involved to install what is essentially a holding tank a composting toilet and a grey water irrigation system would have been better for the washing machine. Sceptic tanks are designed to settle the solids before the liquid leaches out through the wicking bed I would be very surprised if this tank setup is capable of settling the solids and stopping them flowing into the wicking bed pipework.

Tractor Supply had that tank, it was clearly advertised potable water only, it’s not made for chemicals. But if you’re going the cheap route, you already don’t care about doing things correctly.

[@TXJan0057]

Better to add a barrel after the tote so you have better seperation of the solids and liquids.

[@smalltownplaya712]

what is a "barrel"? thanks.

[@cgmwoodworx]

The "dry well" he is talking about is his barrel. They piped from the tote to the dry well

[@rickkube4608]

Don't know where your located at, but maybe for a gray water system it might be fine. I sure hope your just using it for a holding tank.... going to be pumping it out every 2 weeks.... thus a higher cost.... a 1500 gallon or 2500 gallon tank would be much better!

[@omarjackson6366]

What kind of seals did u use for tote

[@coreyrich420]

baby seals

[@berthacobian5145]

Thank you for sharing. Since this was uploaded 3 years ago, would you mind sharing how has this setup performed? TIA

[@bustedwagonranch4546]

This has actually worked and is working great. It is now still being used for a clothes washer for a shop and a drinking fountain along with a shop bathroom. It has never failed.

[@itskrazy]

Is that a two-compartment tank with a baffle or one single chamber tank?

[@jeddiajones4570]

She said it was just a water tank, so one compartment.

[@eternalbeing3339]

The tank and piping alone had to cost more than $100

[@corthew]

Totes are given away. A lot of products ship to end users in totes and the totes are then repurposed or tossed.

[@MRHITMANDOCKS1]

The diesel alone on those tractors is around 100$ itself

This would have made a good grey water system with a composting toilet, but three people pooping in that? With what, a 20 ft bed?

[@bustedwagonranch4546]

Your correct. Were a couple concrete and framing guys putting in a grey water system for a drinking fountain and occasional washing machine use. We never intend for it to be a whole house septic. Just thought we'd share. Thanks for watching and the comments

[@bigphillyed]

@@bustedwagonranch4546 I just didn't get why not just throw a few leach lines in an it would have been fine. Now you just have a tank that needs to be pumped out every few weeks. Put in to 40 foot leach lines with some 3/4" modified and backfill.

[@craigwillson5974]

As a Licensed Septic Professional, I can assure you this system is probably illegal, because without a permit or approval from state, county, or local authorities like the Health Department or Building Department, you can't do this. In my state, permission from the Department of Environmental Services (DES) is required by law, and permitting and inspection is done by the local Building Inspector or Health Officer at the municipal level. The design and approval process takes several weeks, and is dependent upon test pit data, perc testing, and soil samples. That's why it costs thousands of dollars to install a legal and legitimate system with all the proper documentation and it can take weeks to actually complete the process.

[@wingsfan233]

and that's why no one installs legal systems

[@bricewiggins8605]

The techniques presented in this video give no concern to proper methods for septic systems. I strongly encourage anyone viewing this to consider other methods. Among issues are the inadequate treatment provided by the tank choice, poor pipe installation, inadequate siting considerations, and inefficient (and unsafe) construction techniques. Anyone considering onsite wastewater system methods should consult with a Professional Engineer familiar with septic systems.

apparently you arent very familiar with how septic tanks work, huh champ?

[@cornpop7805]

@@MrKylekincaid I actually don't know a lot about septic systems, so I was making some assumptions. But, being this is the comments section on KZbin, I don't have to be an expert to throw something out there. Here are my thoughts: Most septic tanks are two stage and that's probably for a reason. I see numerous single chamber tanks, but the ones I've looked at are just holding tanks. Also, I would imagine that the EPA has guidelines and certifications for tanks, but I don't have comformation on this. However, I do see that most actual septic tanks that are being sold, are certified by state, leading me to believe that you can't legally install a septic tank in a state where it has not first been certified for use. If I'm wrong, please provide me with information to the contrary...

@@jomama8577 It's just poo that might back-up into your house, or make your yard look and smell like a turd pond, or get the EPA crawling all over you. If you're putting your own system in, the tanks manufactured for this purpose are not very expensive. It's the labor that costs in this trade.
