But again...we plan on putting in a redneck septic when my Hip heals up and it wont be a big deal to dump ten gallons of lake water in the tank and pump it out with the macerator.
Could you define "redneck septic" for us, please ??
You dig a five foot deep hole and line the bottom with large gravel and place a plastic 40 or 55 gallon drum with holes in it. Then backfill with gravel around the drum and cover the whole thing with dirt. Then you run a drain field line with four inch pipe with holes in it to disperse the liquids.
Of course you need to run a pipe from the threaded holes on the top so you can attach your black water line to it.
My Buddy has been on the lease for eight years and his is still working perfectly.
It works like a standard septic only on a smaller scale.
