What is the purpose of vent/observation port? / How do I check for leaks and why?
The “vent” or “observation” port is a little window into the ground. The port allows you to monitor how the soil treatment is working. A soil treatment area is as called an absorption bed. If the fluid is beginning to collect in the “vent” or “observation” port, this is generally the first indication of over saturation (a leaking toilet or faucet, ground, etc) or aging issues.
* A person can simply check the port using a flash light and a long stick (use as a dip stick). Insert to the bottom and remove. Record the amount of water showing on the stick. If there are any questions please call 1.866.959.6889 for further help.
What chemical can I use that would be safe for my septic system?
1 part vinegar to 2 parts water.
1 part ammonia to 2 parts water (glass cleaner)
These 2 products are not disinfectants however, they are good cleaners and very safe for the septic system.
When looking at a product to use with your septic system, read the warning labels. If the product states that it will hurt you or your family, the product will most likely hurt your system.
Should I use yeast in my drains and system?
Yeast is a bacteria that would digest starches only. A septic system has several different products that would need to be digested. By introducing just yeast into the system as a bacteria additive would not benefit the system at all.
