A little plumbing advice never set a T on it’s back. You will have the chance of the waist piling up in the T and the water running off from it , plugging it up 😢. I’ve cleaned out so many of DIY jobs like that, it’s not pretty. When it comes to your septic, your solids will run straight across the barrel and run into your leach line and prematurely plugging it up 😢. You need a T on the outlet side with a pipe hanging down from the top of the waist level. That is floating across the top. You need a small amount of water to help keep the line clear, like a sink. The shower is way to much for your setup / leach line. It should just run out on the ground somewhere as waist water. And as someone mentioned if you don’t want to be using waist water never run a water line with a sewer line. That’s why they have codes to keep you safe and happy 😊. I know I’m going to catch H*LL for this comment O Well 😏. PS: On heavy BBQ day’s your going to have to clean that barrel out more than you think 🤔😅.

[@brianlott2782]

He should have installed barrels in the upright position together. With a inlet and outlet tee in both barrels. The main line entering the barrel should always be on undisturbed earth with adequate fall, he installed his with over a foot of loose dirt so when they settles the pipe will settle with the dirt. Drainfield will not last long with solids flowing out of the barrel and clogging the perforated pipe. A backhoe would have been better so he could have atleast excavated a deep pit and filled it with gravel for drainfield. I agree , some things really need to be done by a professional and by code

[@mikemcdonald5147]

yeah I was wondering how you clean it out. I don't think he designed that in. Usually there is some sort of clean out for the barrel so when solids build up and they will build up. Ive never seen one done horizontal either. Usually done vertical but oh well time will tell.

163  Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Benevolent, the Compassionate. 1  In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. 2  Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds. 3  The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. 4  Master of the Day of Judgment. 5  It is You we worship, and upon You we call for help. 6  Guide us to the straight path. 7  The path of those You have blessed, not of those against whom there is anger, nor of those who are misguided. 2  God, there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal.  To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.  Originator of the heavens and the earth. He made for you mates from among yourselves, and pairs of animals, by means of which He multiplies you. There is nothing like Him. He is the Hearing, the Seeing. 1  Say, “He is God, the One. 2  God, the Absolute. 3  He begets not, nor was He begotten. 4  And there is none comparable to Him.” 3  He sent down to you the Book with the Truth, confirming what came before it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel. 4  Aforetime, as guidance for mankind; and He sent down the Criterion. Those who have rejected God’s signs will have a severe punishment. God is Mighty, Able to take revenge. 5  Nothing is hidden from God, on earth or in the heaven. 6  It is He who forms you in the wombs as He wills. There is no god except He, the Almighty, the Wise. 36  To every community We sent a messenger: “Worship God, and avoid idolatry.” Some of them God guided, while others deserved misguidance. So travel through the earth, and see what the fate of the deniers was. 253  These messengers: We gave some advantage over others. To some of them God spoke directly, and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus son of Mary the clear miracles, and We strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Had God willed, those who succeeded them would not have fought one another, after the clear signs had come to them; but they disputed; some of them believed, and some of them disbelieved. Had God willed, they would not have fought one another; but God does whatever He desires. 254  O you who believe! Spend from what We have given you, before a Day comes in which there is neither trading, nor friendship, nor intercession. The disbelievers are the wrongdoers. 255  God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them, and what is behind them; and they cannot grasp any of His knowledge, except as He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great. 256  There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in God has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. God is Hearing and Knowing. 257  God is the Lord of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their lords are the evil ones; they bring them out of light and into darkness-these are the inmates of the Fire, in which they will abide forever. 258  Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because God had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, “My Lord is He who gives life and causes death.” He said, “I give life and cause death.” Abraham said, “God brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West,” so the blasphemer was confounded. God does not guide the wrongdoing people. 259  Or like him who passed by a town collapsed on its foundations. He said, “How can God revive this after its demise?” Thereupon God caused him to die for a hundred years, and then resurrected him. He said, “For how long have you tarried?” He said, “I have tarried for a day, or part of a day.” He said, “No. You have tarried for a hundred years. Now look at your food and your drink-it has not spoiled-and look at your donkey. We will make you a wonder for mankind. And look at the bones, how We arrange them, and then clothe them with flesh.” So when it became clear to him, he said, “I know that God has power over all things.” 260  And when Abraham said, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” He said, “Have you not believed?” He said, “Yes, but to put my heart at ease.” He said, “Take four birds, and incline them to yourself, then place a part on each hill, then call to them; and they will come rushing to you. And know that God is Powerful and Wise.” 1  Kaf, Ha, Ya, Ayn, Saad. 2  A mention of the mercy of your Lord towards His servant Zechariah. 3  When he called on his Lord, a call in seclusion. 4  He said, “My Lord, my bones have become feeble, and my hair is aflame with gray, and never, Lord, have I been disappointed in my prayer to you. 5  “And I fear for my dependents after me, and my wife is barren. So grant me, from Yourself, an heir. 6  To inherit me, and inherit from the House of Jacob, and make him, my Lord, pleasing.” 7  “O Zechariah, We give you good news of a son, whose name is John, a name We have never given before.” 8  He said, “My Lord, how can I have a son, when my wife is barren, and I have become decrepit with old age?” 9  He said, “It will be so, your Lord says, ‘it is easy for me, and I created you before, when you were nothing.’” 10  He said, “My Lord, give me a sign.” He said, “Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights straight.” 11  And he came out to his people, from the sanctuary, and signaled to them to praise morning and evening. 12  “O John, hold on to the Scripture firmly,” and We gave him wisdom in his youth. 13  And tenderness from Us, and innocence. He was devout. 14  And kind to his parents; and he was not a disobedient tyrant. 15  And peace be upon him the day he was born, and the day he dies, and the Day he is raised alive. 16  And mention in the Scripture Mary, when she withdrew from her people to an eastern location. 17  She screened herself away from them, and We sent to her Our spirit, and He appeared to her as an immaculate human. 18  She said, “I take refuge from you in the Most Merciful, should you be righteous.” 19  He said, “I am only the messenger of your Lord, to give you the gift of a pure son.” 20  She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?” 21  He said, “Thus said your Lord, `It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign for humanity, and a mercy from Us. It is a matter already decided.'“ 22  So she carried him, and secluded herself with him in a remote place. 23  The labor-pains came upon her, by the trunk of a palm-tree. She said, “I wish I had died before this, and been completely forgotten.” 24  Whereupon he called her from beneath her: “Do not worry; your Lord has placed a stream beneath you. 25  And shake the trunk of the palm-tree towards you, and it will drop ripe dates by you.” 26  “So eat, and drink, and be consoled. And if you see any human, say, ‘I have vowed a fast to the Most Gracious, so I will not speak to any human today.'“ 27  Then she came to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have done something terrible. 28  O sister of Aaron, your father was not an evil man, and your mother was not a whore.” 29  So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to an infant in the crib?” 30  He said, “I am the servant of God. He has given me the Scripture, and made me a prophet. 31  And has made me blessed wherever I may be; and has enjoined on me prayer and charity, so long as I live. 32  And kind to my mother, and He did not make me a disobedient rebel. 33  So Peace is upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the Day I get resurrected alive.” 34  That is Jesus son of Mary-the Word of truth about which they doubt. 35  It is not for God to have a child-glory be to Him. To have anything done, He says to it, “Be,” and it becomes. 36  “God is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” 37  But the various factions differed among themselves. So woe to those who disbelieve from the scene of a tremendous Day. 38  Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost. 39  And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe. 40  It is We who will inherit the earth and everyone on it, and to Us they will be returned. 56  As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers. 57  And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.” 58  This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. 59  The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was. 60  The truth is from your Lord, so do not be of those who doubt. 111  And say, “Praise be to God, who has not begotten a son, nor has He a partner in sovereignty, nor has He an ally out of weakness, and glorify Him constantly.” 85  Whoever seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers. Read The Quran “I am to you a clear warner.”  “That you shall worship none but God. I fear for you the agony of a painful Day.”

Don't do this, if you're watching for a tutorial. This probably works for a temporary system. But the biggest issue here is that there is no access point to maintain or pump the plastic septic "tank" when it gets full of sludge. Also you need two chambers for the tank. And you should have flow baffles (tees) at the inlet and outlet.

The 55 gal barrel could work if it was just for the toilet. Definitely need corrugated tubing for the drain fields. Make sure you have an adequate drop for drainage from the house to the tank. Shower, sink and washing machine would be better on a separate line with the corrugated tubing buried straight across the back yard. Take the time to finish it completely now so you don't have to "get back to it"!

I’m only about 5 minutes into this video and I can see a couple of problems with your plumbing. You should have put a “Y” on the 4” stack with a clean out on it. Two, you need a vent stack on your drain that usually goes up through the roof. This allows fresh air to get into the water to drain using gravity and will prevent water from backing up.

[@par0104]

When the professionals built my septic system, they did not fill in around the line or the tank with dirt first. They filled in around the pipe & septic tank with large gravel on the bottom first, & then covered in with about 4 feet of dirt on top of the gravel. The septic line was buried way deeper than yours is, so that the leechline will not stop up in the dirt, but will seep through the large gravel in the bottom of the line. I fear that you may have to dig deeper and place gravel in the bottom of the leechline so that the water will seep throughout the entire line very soon. You should have an open/close lid on the septic tank so that a septic truck can pump the waste out of the tank when it gets full, & believe me, that little tank will fill up fast. Things done in haste make waste. Better to take the time you need to have a leechline big enough, & properly installed, than to rush & cut corners & have to do it over again in a few weeks, hopefully not in snowy, cold, blizzard weather.. Nevertheless, I wish you good luck.😊

Hey good on you getting out there and doing this, but I will say I own a small 3 bedroom and live alone. I am currently getting my septic replaced and by code from environmental health I need a 1000 gal tank, 500 gal dosing tank, and 150ft of drain field all mounded due to the water table level. I am not sure that a 55 gal drum will be enough for this if I am needed 1500 gallons. I mean. Single flush is about a gallon of water and a shower will fill that up pretty quick. Maybe a recommendation would be to add at least a distribution box to a drain field. I will say though this is the first hit of your content that I have seen and don’t know your water usage, home size, or family size.

[@bgd5339]

Jason, sorry, but that will never work long-term. You need an actual septic tank (properly sized) with a baffle between two compartments to separate the solids from the effluent so the anaerobic digestion process has a chance to reduce the solids and organics before leaving the first compartment. A regular old 55 gal plastic barrel layed on its side isn't going to do that. That barrel is literally going to fill with sh!t and then you're going to need to replace it.

[@Nctbgs]

I’m no expert but I did do my own septic. I see so many problems with yours . I’m confident your leach field will be clogged very shortly . I’m also worried about the pitch of your pipe, in the video it looked like the backfill pushed the pipe down. Also the whole system should be deeper and Your barrel should be on end and a T to keep solids going down your leach field . I would have rented a mini excavator and done this job correctly, I’m just north of you and I can have a mini excavator delivered to my property for $300.00 a day and $45.00 delivery/pickup fee total price . For an extra $345.00 and perhaps some more gravel and a couple more barrels and a few more fittings I could have built you a system that would last 30 years or more. So for a few hundred more you could have had a lifetime system. But I don’t have Pinterest so maybe I’m all wrong about proper pitch and clean outs and Y’s and the other little details. Really shocked at all the comments that think this is a great system and great work .

In Georgia you have to follow all the building codes regulations.

[@jimsimpson4385]

Good job for getting that installed. It may help you for a few days however however the county you live in you must apply for a permit and have your ground perk tested and if it. Passes they will tell you how many feet of lateral line you have to install. Per family member's bedroom's bathroom et cetera. They will tell you the size of the tank metal or concrete 500 or 1000 gallon after installation of the septic tank system. It must be left open for the health department inspector to pass If he passes it which requires permits again then you can cover it u One final note it has to be so many feet. I don't know your county code laws from any blue water strea. Hope that helps your brother.

Don’t know where you get your information about filling A 55 gallon tank. A 250 is the smallest I have ever seen and the was for a summer cottage.There is no out let baffle on that drum so all your so called poop is going to flow right on thru. Which will work okay for a while until the gravel clogs up. You were probably better off just putting in a cesspool. Probably the worst septic I have ever seen installed. And I have see hundreds of home made septic systems. But know worries if you got the land, you can make other ones. Just turn the pipe and do it again.

[@jenthrasher5056]

Jason just a heads up. If your pvc and blue barrel are not under your first line, it will freeze up on you come winter. The same water barrels you have would have worked better for a septic tank. Just throwing you info. My comment was before the end of video lol

[@SmokeyBandit97]

What are you going to do when the barrel is full? Did you vent all your plumbing to avoid slow draining? Just asking.

Baby steps living uour dream. Making things happen. Proud of you .

Awesome job guys!!!! Looking good!!!

[@thomasmiddlebrooks5169]

That system will not last very long with a small drum and no t for the outlet side and 10’ of field line.

[@rongray4118]

You are fortunate - warm climate with no freezing potential... we have to go deeper in Northern Nevada... our lines would freeze at that depth.

Awesome intro, great video very interesting! 👍😎❤️

I love how he says, "Everybody's doing it," then references Pinterest and a bunch of BS that don't equate to any kind of objective knowledgeable analysis of what he's proposing. Man, a 55 gallon drum is fine... for a grey water system!?! You got all that money to have a nice tractor that looks brand-new, whether you're leasing renting or owning it, and you can't spend a few hundred dollars and get a proper poly tank designed for this purpose?!? You're also talking about building a fence over it? Lmao! I hope you decide against having kids... if you're still sitting in a 55 gallon barrel, that kid'll f-ck it up before he's 5! If you get a half decent size tank, you can use it just like any other plumbing, but your effluent lines should be level and run perpendicular to your tanks discharge. You could have literally spent maybe 10% more, and 5% more time, and never had to worry about your septic tank, but mark my words that 55 gallon drums going to bite you in the as-s! At least get a used 275 to 330 gal water tank box that may have been used for food-grade oils or something. They're super cheap and can be sourced anywhere in the country. They practically give the things away! You probably could have actually gotten it cheaper than you paid for that water barrel! I hope people that are watching this have more common sense not to watch some wannabe tiktok star or some idiot on Pinterest to get their ideas on how to dispose of their biohazardous waste... a 55-gallon drum can get overloaded so easily and then just spew out pure raw sewage in clog up your effluent lines. Everybody that wants to spread hepatitis or any other potential protozoa/ parasites, do your septic system just like this! I appreciate that you are trying to show that it doesn't have to be fancy and costly to be done, but then you have this fancy new tractor and you're choosing to cut all the wrong corners... Is this really where you want to be when Jesus comes back? Teaching all the little Joe dirt's how to poison potentially their entire Community with biohazardous waste?!

[@stephaniedeegan853]

My concern is that the fresh water line is right next to the sewer line. I worked in construction for many years. Im hoping this set up is only temporary. There are plenty of issues that will come back to bite you in the behind. Many have been noted in the comments already. Please don’t take offense to these. They are legitimate and need to be listened to. If it was only for grey water than fine but sewer is a whole different bag of worms.

[@FRAMILY860]

The fresh water line might be just to supply the toilet which wouldn't hurt anything.

[@scooter6334]

@@FRAMILY860 They have mentioned good old hot showers many times 😂😅.

[@FRAMILY860]

If you are trying to say that having a water line run where the septic is run is going to cause sewage in the showers you are wrong.

Where is the clean out? And how do you empty it?

thats my question

[@kassandramarie007]

Where was your new ranch hand while you were doing all the work?! Haha sat there thinking about that the entire video. 🤣 You guys are killin it and making some serious headway before winter comes.

[@cathyscroggins1420]

One I can tell that you didn’t dig it deep enough. Two, the grade has to be a certain inch downgrade for every feet. And three, the leech field has to be longer. Just because people on Pinterest are doing it doesn’t mean it’s correct. We just did ours and my husband researched it and did it correctly with a real holding tank and everything.

[@TheCrockers]

I'm very happy for yall. What we did is perfect for what we need

[@FRAMILY860]

@cathyscroggins1420 did you pick up your lack of personality from Pinterest? Just asking for a friend.

[@mikefield7444]

How are you going to clean it out when it is full of waste ?

[@martyreiber8945]

Does your septic system legal by your county you are running sewage right out on the ground Gray water doesn't matter plus are you deep enough in the ground to keep it from freezing and I am sure you don't want to be out there in the winter trying to unthaw it plus how do you have it pumped out when it's full good luck 🤞

[@denisevonbinder1064]

the only thing is pre fill with water before burying...good job !!!

[@bgd5339]

Where's the vent line for your drain line? 🤔

[@ethomasii]

Ok 4th and final comment... Get it engineered. The county should have rules a septic engineer will design to for it to work properly. Without that, you are in for a lot od "crap".

[@JosEPh-zy3yr]

Eric where do you live? Apparently not in an Unrestricted county. Oklahoma and Texas have many counties that are sparsely populated. And Do Not have Tons of bureaucracy to put up with. Not at all like the NE, Upper Midwest or West coast states, where you can't spit without the county commissioner's permission. Don't equate what you have to put up with in your county and state to what they have to deal with (much less).

[@ethomasii]

@@JosEPh-zy3yr I had a tiny house for 6 or 7 years in the middle of nowhere in the midwest... and the county still cared about septic. And a little research will tell you that Oklahoma does in fact have rules for septic. You have to apply for a septic permit with DEQ.

[@coreysmart581]

Ok great concept, but I have a question, how are you going to service the 55 gallon drum when it's full? When that finally fills up within a year it will flow back and cause problems and I dealt with it a lot with 1000 gal.tanks. I worked on sewer systems here and we can't even legally do what you did lol. 1000 gallon tank minimum requirements here in Maine and new leach fields have to be soil tested and designed by a licensed designer. During the winter months the tank does need to be at least 12" deep and pipes are usually 18"-20". The heat that is generated from poo, toilet paper soaps and everything else decomposing and will keep it warm also fill up fast, especially with 2 ply tp. It will be interesting to see good luck and good job.

[@juliemarshall4136]

I agree. This is a good effort but should have been deeper, tank bigger( I have seen off grid builders use the food container inside the metal grid box, don't know what to call them, and they used 2-3 of those, also you need to make sure the downward grade is good. Hopefully this will work for a while.

if the barrel plugs you can dig it up put in new barrel let old one dry up then burn it

It would have been nice to show the final drain location - does it just become surface water or a pond ??? Was the final perforated? No explanation of the materials making it tough for us to incorporate your video into our construction. Thanks for the entertainment
