Home Owners Do's and Dont'sHomeowners Do's Homeowners should always keep adequate chlorine in the chlorination device to maintain the system properly. Homeowners should spread out laundry over a period of days; doing it all in one day can create a system overload. Pumping of the aerobic unit is usually done between 2 and 4yrs depending on the usage. When the system is pumped it should be thoroughly cleaned (all three chambers). Partial cleaning will lead to having to pump your system more often than would be needed. Homeowners Dont's You should limit garbage disposal usage. This puts unwanted organic material in your system that will not biodegrade when there is an over abundance. Never flush Bleach products or cleaning material down the sink. This kills the beneficial bacteria and will cause your system to have an odor. Avoid liquid fabric softners; they bind all the organcics in the system not allowing them to biodegrade.
