A drain field for a septic system wouldn’t be very effective if all of the wastewater went through a single pipe. Just like a plumbing system will have a diverter, a septic system will have a distribution box (or d-box) that diverts the flow evenly to the drain field pipes.
Experts at the University of Arizona suggest families that use septic systems should have the tanks pumped on a regular schedule or whenever the sludge layer reaches 24 inches in depth. Most septic tanks should be pumped every three to five years at minimum.
What’s that smell? If you occasionally catch the aroma of rotten eggs near the septic tank vent, it can be an easy problem to solve. A charcoal filter installed on top of the existing vent pipe will capture offensive odors and cleanse the air.
If you observe a stronger than usual chemical smell (most likely iron bacteria or hydrogen sulfide), then your septic field may be in need of service. Strange or strong chemical odors are an indication that the septic tank’s effluent is not being fully oxidized.
It's important to ensure you have enough bacteria in your septic tank because it's the bacteria that turns the solid waste into a liquid, which leaves your septic system as new wastewater enters the tank.
