@HBE4 our tank sucker/cleaner always leaves a few inches of slurry on the bottom of the tank to keep the tank’s,”health working”. Think about it like a started dough for bread, but just a different type of yeast. 🫣🤢 We have something similar to what Jim suggested that we buy it at TSC. I like the product Jim posted.

To further Jimbo’s comments sometimes the previous homeowner has a septic bed map in the basement near where the pipe exits the home. Would be in pencil on the wall or occasionally on a truss if it is an unfinished basement. In the summer if the tank is under a few inches of soil the lawn will brown out and die when it is hot with no rain. It will be very distinctive and usually not far from the edge of the house where it exits. Looks like this, thanks to Google images. It could also have plastic lids like this. To find the weeping bed the lawn is usually extra green when dry or extra dead depending on the material that surrounds it. The guy who designed our system designed this one below for a a building with over 136 people. It was a dry summer but you can the green areas on the lawn where the moisture from the beds makes the lawn greener. The corn field above is suffering from the head and lack of rain.

That sounds more like what we have installed at my other in laws. It has the normal 2 chamber tank, and a pump chamber which takes it to an elevated chamber. The system at our place has a large 3 chamber tank, to which one section is a aeration tank. From there it goes to a settlement changer and finally to another secondary pump chamber tank and then to the bed. Both systems were designed by the same engineer, as one can no longer by code design and install their own system with out it being stamped. This has changed in the last 20 years in our province. It’s not to say it doesn’t happen but fines will be handed out if it has been discovered. The engineer takes into accord, bathrooms in the home, well location, soil types etc… and then designs around the limitations. Our bed system is under half the size of the one at our place where Sharon lives.

Yes, it used to be in the side yard, but when we but on the addition we had to update the entire system. It is now a tertiary system. We did this so it did not have to go into the farm field. You can’t drive a large tractors over a system in concern of crushing the septic lines. A little info below. Our septic bed was reduced to under half the size by going this way. Tertiary Septic Systems What is a Tertiary Septic System? It is a Septic System that complies with the Effluent Quality Criteria as regulated by the Ontario Building Code (OBC) table 8.6.2.2.A This waste has been dramatically reduced in strength from a normal residential strength waste count of 120-150mg/l BOD5 to a mere 15 mg/l. Waste exiting a Tertiary System is reduced to about 1/10 the strength of what regular residential strength waste is! Because of this, Leaching Bed sizing is reduced to ½ of what a conventional system would require, and in some instances it is ¼ the size of a conventional bed! This is excellent news for those who are short on room or truly care about their waste water polluting the groundwater and wells of themselves and their neighbours. The Ecoflo and FAST reduce the introduction of nitrates into the groundwater and surrounding lake by 1/3 automatically and the BIONEST reduces the nitrates by 2/3 .

Princess had a pay venue when we sailed with them over ten years ago, possibly called “the retreat or sanctuary”. It was so much for the week, and they also sold a few day passes. It wasn’t anything like this though. They had thick foam pool loungers, bar service and you could use the spa pool. Very basic and simple. -
To further this, as of yesterday we can now book shows for our December 31st sailing on Harmony.

On Allure currently. Some issues.

I would not be happy with the venue changes, but the lights out for pirates is fine by me. The lights out at night is a common long time occurrence while sailing through certain areas off the coast of east Africa, specifically Yemen and Somalia and the Gulf of Aden. A Google search brings up this topic. -

Sadly, the voice of reason wins😉 only to be “taken out” by a table. Hope you both get home safe and sound. 🤞
