If you want your sewage pump to function effectively,
you should take care of the whole septic system. It is not complicated to
perform the maintenance of a septic system. It shouldn’t be expensive. Here are
some simple guidelines to help you maintain your septic system.
Inspect
and pump frequently
The septic system of the average household should be
inspected at least after every three years by a professional. Household septic
tanks are pumped every 3 to 5 years. Alternative systems with pumps, electric
switches, or mechanical components should be inspected often. A service
contract is crucial since alternative systems have parts.
The major factors that influence how often to pump
your system include total wastewater generated, household size, septic tank
size, and the volume of solids in wastewater.
Use
water efficiently
In a typical single-family home, the average water use
can be as much as seventy gallons per head per day. A single running or leaky
toilet can add as much as two hundred gallons of water daily.
When you
buy
sewage pump, it is important to install it correctly and use water
efficiently from the first day. This will boost the longevity of the pump. You
can improve the efficiency of water use by using high-efficiency toilets and
high-efficiency showerheads.
Properly
dispose of waste
What you flush down your drain will end up in the
septic system. It will affect how well your system works.
Your septic system isn’t a trash can. You should
therefore avoid flushing anything besides toilet paper and human waste. You
should never flush cooking oil, non-flushable wipes, feminine hygiene products,
dental floss, condoms, and other things that could damage your sewage
pump or clog your pipes. Things like dental floss, diapers, cat litter
and other products that could clog your system should be disposed of in the
trash can.
