Is aerobic or anaerobic septic better?

• <div><p>Neither system is necessarily better or worse than the other, but one of the two might be better for your needs. For example, anaerobic systems are less expensive than aerobic ones and don’t use power to run. On the other hand, aerobic septic systems don’t take up as much space and are typically more efficient than their anaerobic counterparts.</p></div>

Q: What types of well pumps are available?

• <div><p>Options include submersible, jet, and centrifugal pumps. Choose based on water needs and well depth.</p></div>

Q: What does a full septic tank look like?

• <div><p>A septic tank always has some amount of liquid in it&mdash;which should usually be 8 to 12 inches from the top of the tank. If the liquid level is higher than that or is overflowing the drainage pipe that leads out to the leach field, the tank may be too full and in need of pumping.</p></div>

Q: Does well water damage pipes?

• <div><p>Because well water is not artificially filtered or pre-treated, it may contain contaminants. As a result, it&rsquo;s possible for well water to damage pipes based on what is in the water. Well water can be corrosive, slowly rusting and dissolving pipes, fixtures, and fittings. The corrosion can affect the taste and quality of the drinking water that comes out of the taps in your home. </p></div>
