π οΈ Septic System 101π οΈ Did you know a septic system is an onsite wastewater treatment solution that processes and purifies household waste (effluent)? This includes both blackwater (toilet waste) and greywater (from your kitchen sink, bathtub, and laundry). So, where is the Dirty Jobs guy when you need him? π€
A septic system consists of two main components: a septic tank and a leachfield (or drainfield). The septic tank is where primary treatment happens β bacteria digests the organic materials in the wastewater. After that, the effluent flows into the drainfield for secondary treatment, allowing bacteria to complete the digestion and purification as it slowly infiltrates the soil. Understanding how your septic system works can help maintain it and keep it functioning properly! π§β¨
