"My toilet started backing up into my bathtub, I called Anytime Septic Solutions and spoke with Larry. Larry seemed very concerned about my problem. It was after business hours, therefore, it would have been considered an emergency if he sent a truck out. He told me he could sent a truck out the next morning, but he would stop by on his way home to assess the problem, which he did not have to do and for which I am very grateful. Jare called me the next morning and said he would be there at 8:45 AM, and Jare was there at 8:45 AM. Jare showed and explained how the problem occurred. Larry and Jare both told me how to prevent it in the future. They were friendly, professional, and knowledgeable and went over and above my expectations. This is now the only company I will use for my septic tank. I would highly recommend this company."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The pressure in a well pressure tank should be set 2 to 3 PSI below the pump's cut-on pressure. The cut-on pressure is the lower number in the pressure setting (e.g., the '30' in 30/50 PSI) and is the point at which the pump starts. The cut-out pressure is the higher number, where the pump stops.

For example:

  • If your pressure switch is set to 30/50 PSI, the tank pressure should be 27-28 PSI.

  • If your pressure switch is set to 40/60 PSI, the tank pressure should be 38 PSI.

Common pressure settings for household applications include 20/40, 30/50, and 40/60 PSI. The difference between the cut-on and cut-out pressure is typically 20 PSI.

The dimensions of a 500-gallon concrete septic tank can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the tank is large enough to handle the wastewater of a small home with up to one bedroom. Keep in mind that some states have a minimum septic tank size, and this often starts at 750 gallons. A 500-gallon septic tank may be too small to meet local regulations.

Pump the tank every 3-5 years, avoid flushing non-degradable items, and address leaks promptly to extend system life.

Septic tanks come in multiple shapes, sizes, and materials. However, they’re often round or rectangular in shape and made from concrete, fiberglass, or plastic. There’s a range of septic tank sizes, with the average model measuring 30 to 40 square feet and holding 1,000 to 1,500 gallons of waste.

Drain fields often include three to five trenches that are 18 to 24 inches deep. The pipes connecting the drain field to the septic tank will be placed between 12 and 18 inches deep, and the field as a whole will be about 100 feet long.
