First, you must calculate what size of septic tank and overall system your property needs. This is determined by the amount of estimated water usage and waste produced on a daily basis.
For the septic system to function and fill properly, you have to take into consideration the amount of retention. This goes hand in hand with the size requirement of the septic tank.
Once you have calculated the proper size of your septic tank and system, you must determine the proper location to install the septic system. Take note of any specific location laws that apply.
Another vital piece to a septic system is the drain field. Make sure that the size and placement of the drain field are correctly calculated to ensure that the waste is distributed into the soil properly.
