Boy, I wish my septic tank only needed pumping every 3 years! We are lucky to get half that. I think you nailed a few of the points with septic systems though; simple, set-and-forget is really a priority.

My house is 37 years old on septic. No issues at all. My soil is very sandy with a super high perc rate. My system will be working long after I'm dead. I have five bedrooms also and these systems are massively over designed.

Hey Paul - have you ever installed a mound septic system? 95% of the systems installed in Minnesota are mound systems. Just picture a hundred foot long, 20 ft wide, 5' high mound of dirt in your back or front yard! It makes that part of your yard pretty much worthless.

What about small treatment plants. In our area (northern Mississippi) water treatment plants are the norm.

Holy cow, only $6k for that big of a field!? I just got quoted $8,400 from three separate companies for just parts for my field that I have to put in and it is only three 60' lines of spec'd EZ Flow plus the tank and various parts.

I could be wrong, but I think the reason why your system doesn't freeze is because you are constantly dumping heat into it and the bottom of the tanks is below frost line. In addition there is biological activity creating heat as well, just like a compost pile, that heat flows out to the field that may freeze in parts but not all. There are probably calculations based on temperature regions that affect how overbuilt the fields are and all that. I bet if you were to leave the house empty over a cold winter it could freeze more. There are heat recovery systems for waste pipes and I would think you probably wouldn't want to do that if you live in cold climate on septic. I'm pretty sure I followed you from the beginning, I still lived in Illinois at the time, now I live here in Pleasant Hill. I remember being surprised to find you were a cop in Rockford, I'm amazed you survived ,. lol.

Our system is going to be a spray irrigation system…tank tank uv filter…then to a sprinkler head in the woods. They tell me the water will be cleaner then a public pool.I’m putting it in myself. Had to take a test and get bonded. We are in Ohio . By doing it myself, saving $15k

It seems like septic systems get installed AFTER the home build. I had this idea that it had to happen before
@MrPostFrame4 ай бұрын
All of the planning and permitting for it had to be in place before but all of our systems get installed after the project is up during more of the interior parts

In my opinion septic system rules and the people that regulate them are a scam. There's no way in hell a five-bedroom house would ever have 10 people living in it all of the time. I lived in Minnesota and the cost of installing a system there was two and a half times more than they charge for the same system in South Dakota. That's one of the many reasons why I don't live in Minnesota anymore! 🤠

And Paul says during the video that his system has been discharging about 200 gallons a day! Yeah maybe a little overkill by the design people! 💲

Make your own money and stop relying on government which is only there to pray off your naivety. Look at any of the politicians you vote for. You'll see they just making money off of you while you are there thinking they are there to do anything for you. Stop giving away your rights.
