Understanding Proper Pumping Intervals

Household water usage plays the biggest role in how often your Hoot Septic Treatment System should be serviced. Occasional septic pumping is necessary to keep the system healthy and to ensure reliable wastewater treatment for years to come. Over time, the trash chamber naturally forms a scum layer on the surface and a sludge layer at the bottom. When these combined solids exceed 25% of the chamber's capacity, pumping is strongly recommended.

Your system's trash chamber holds approximately 520 gallons and stands about 52 inches high. When the combined scum and sludge layer reaches roughly 15 inches, it is time to pump. During this service, the processing chamber should also have about one-third of its contents removed to maintain proper balance. In total, approximately 1,000 to 1,100 gallons are typically pumped from a Hoot System during a standard visit.

These pumping & maintenance tips are especially important for homeowners in California, where soil conditions, usage patterns, and regulations demand professional attention. Give us a call today at 916-436-8457 for more information!
