Trusted Vacuum Equipment and Septic Systems

A septic tank is a small scale sewage treatment system common in rural areas and small towns that have no connection to main sewage pipes. A septic system is a type of onsite sewage facility. Septic simply refers to the hazardous environment that develops in the tank and which decomposes the waste discharged into the septic tank.

Septic tanks can contain vacuum systems that feature industrial vacuum/pressure pumps. And some tanks are fitted with a heavy duty stainless steel portal shutoff, complete with stainless steel mesh cartridge type filter to insure protection of your valuable vacuum system. The units are designed to accept any or all components to meet the demanding requirements of liquid and semi-solid hazardous waste removal, transportation and disposal.

Why does the hazardous waste need to be transported? Because over time the waste that is not decomposed by the anaerobic digestion does build up. If it is not removed from the septic tank, the tank fills up and nondecomposed waste water overflows directly to the drainage field. Not only is this bad for your yard but it also can damage the environment.

I bet you’re wondering how often does the septic tank need to be emptied? This all depends on the volume of the tank relative to the usage. The bigger the family, the more usage it will get. The smaller the tank, the more often it will require emptying. In general it is rare for a septic tank system to require emptying more than once a year.

Septic truck companies and vacuum truck companies are hired to remove the hazardous waste that fills septic tanks. These tank trucks are referenced by their size or volume capacity. Large trucks typically have capacities ranging from 4000 to 9000 gallons, whereas a smaller truck might have a capacity of less than 3000 gallons. The truck uses a vacuum to clean several septic tanks in a neighborhood and then deposit the septic material to a collection site.

A normally operating and properly designed septic system is odor free and with an inspection and pumping of the septic tank periodically the tank itself should last for at least 50 years with little to no maintenance.
