Q: Is it better to use a drain snake or drain cleaner in homes with a septic tank?

• <div><p>For homes with a septic tank, harsh chemicals like those found in drain cleaner or bleach aren&rsquo;t recommended. Some chemical drain cleaners can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank or damage your pipes. For homes with a septic tank, you can choose drain cleaners specifically formulated for use with septic tanks or go with a drain snake. When in doubt, make sure you know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/who-to-call-for-clogged-drain.htm">who to call for a clogged drain</a>. </p></div>

Q: Does rainwater go into my well?

• <div><p>Rainwater doesn't have a direct impact on the amount of water in your well. Instead, the majority of rain runs off into other bodies of water such as streams, rivers, and lakes. These bodies of water may sometimes function as the area&rsquo;s reservoir and create aquifers, which then help to replenish your well.</p></div>

Q: What psi should a well pressure tank be set at?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>For example:</p><ul><li><p>If your pressure switch is set to 30/50 PSI, the tank pressure should be 27-28 PSI.</p></li><li><p>If your pressure switch is set to 40/60 PSI, the tank pressure should be 38 PSI.</p></li></ul><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What can I add to my septic tank to speed up decomposition?

• <div><p>You can add three rotten tomatoes or 1/4 ounce of yeast to your septic tank to speed up the decomposition of sludge. You can add the tomatoes by way of your garbage disposal and the yeast by way of your toilet. You can do either of these additives once every three months as needed.</p></div>

Q: How long can you run a well pump?

• <div><p>If your well pump is running continuously (meaning without turning off or stopping), it's a sign that your well pump is starting to break down. The length of time your well pump should cycle is dependent on many factors, like the tank size, pressure setting, and even the amount of water in your well. Generally, your well pump should cycle, or go from running to not running every few minutes. </p></div>
