Should I have my septic tank pumped out or leach lines jetted before installing SepticGenie?
In temperate climates, there normally is no need to pump the septic tank or jet the disposal lines before installation of the SepticGenie. In less temperate climates, there may be a need to perform these procedures due to the build up of sludge and other solid waste in the drain field from reduced bacterial activity in winters prior to the SepticGenie installation. Once SepticGenie is installed, septic tank pumping is dramatically reduced. Organic solids that enter the septic tank are digested and leave the septic system as CO2 gas or additional SepticGenie Blend bacteria and travel to the drain field. There could be cases where a physical problem(s) occurs with some construct of the system that would require the septic tank be pumped to make a necessary correction.
