Get matched with top septic tank pros in Stanton, MI

Q: Are septic tanks and cisterns interchangeable?

• <div><p>Cisterns can be used as septic tanks, but septic tanks can&rsquo;t be used as cisterns. This is because cisterns need to meet FDA standards for drinking water, but septic tanks aren&rsquo;t required to meet those standards since they are only used for wastewater.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a well pressure tank and a well pump?

• <div><p>A well pressure tank is located between the well and the well pump, and it stores your water under pressure so that the well pump can eventually do its job. The well pump is activated whenever you turn a faucet on&mdash;it pulls the water from the tank into your home. Both are vital parts of a complete well water system. </p></div>

Q: Are concrete septic tanks the most expensive?

• <div><p>Yes. Amongst the four most common types of septic tanks&mdash;plastic, fiberglass, concrete, and steel&mdash;those made of concrete are the most expensive. This is the case for a few reasons, including the fact that they&rsquo;re very heavy, so pros have to use specialized equipment to install them. However, they&rsquo;re also incredibly durable, making the price worth it if it&rsquo;s in your budget.</p></div>

Q: Can I put in too big of a well pressure tank?

• <div><p>The size of your water well pressure tank is limited only by your budget and the amount of space you have to use. Larger tanks can hold more water, meaning your well pump will need to cycle less often. This can extend the life of both the pressure tank and your well pump. Larger tanks cost more and take up more room, though. </p></div>

Q: How can I add or replenish good bacteria in my septic tank?

• <div><p>Your septic tank naturally contains the good bacteria it needs, so you typically don't have to add more as the system produces them on its own. However, if you wish to replenish the bacteria, you can use natural methods. For example, you can add three rotten tomatoes to your garbage disposal or flush 1/4 ounce of active yeast down the toilet every three months. While store-bought septic enzymes and chemicals are available, many additives are unnecessary and may even harm your system. The most effective way to maintain a healthy bacterial balance is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill the beneficial bacteria in your tank.</p></div>
