Hi All,
I installed a septic system at my cabin in central Maine 3 years ago. It has a 1000 gal poly tank. It is to code with the blessing of the local code inspector. This is my first experience with a septic system, so I have a few questions.
I have not used the septic system yet, but I will be getting the plumbing finished up this spring. It will get very light usage being a weekend camp for now. What is the best way to start this system up?
Should I get some water in there so the initial solids have some liquid to dissolve in?
Is a garbage disposal a good or bad idea?
I am also looking for do's and don'ts about washing machine use with the septic system.
Thanks for any advice,
Sid
