The septic distribution box (aka D-box) connects the effluent line to the network of leach lines in the absorption system, or to seepage galleys or pits, and is used to regulate the rate of flow to the lines.
To figure out the schedule for having your septic tank emptied, multiply the number of people in your household by 90 (this is the average number of gallons of water used each day), then divide the capacity of your septic tank by that number to arrive at how many days it takes to fill the tank.
If the absorption field is saturated, pumping the septic tank will only offer temporary relief from the problem. The leach field and septic system need to be inspected to determine the cause of the problems so that the proper steps can be taken to correct them.
If your septic system has flooded, regardless of the cause, it needs to be pumped out, inspected and any necessary repairs made. If this is neglected, the risk of contamination is high, and personal and public health are at-risk.
Garbage disposals are not recommended for homes with septic systems. The finely ground products will float on the surface of the water and make their way into and clog lines. Consider composting vegetable matter and disposing of animal by-products.
