Synopsis
This is a thorough, non-technical handbook and guide to the basics of septic systems--the physical process that takes place in the septic system and the simple technology needed to make it work. Emphasis is on conventional septic systems powered by gravity flow, filtering through soil, and the natural soil organisms that purify sewage. The book covers, in addition to septic tanks and drainfields, septic system maintenance, what to do if things go wrong, and alternative systems such as mounds and sand filters. There are also chapters on greywater systems, composting toilets, and a unique history of water-borne waste disposal. Until now there has not been a comprehensive, nontechnical book for homeowners about the intricate workings of a septic system --what it is, how it works, and how to maintain and repair it. Peter Aschwanden, illustrator of the celebrated classic How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive, did the informative and witty drawings in the book. There are over 28 million septic systems in America, and this book shows homeowners how to keep them up (or should we say down?) and running., This is a thorough, non-technical handbook and guide to the basics of septic systems -- the physical process that takes place in the septic system and the simple technology needed to make it work. Emphasis is on conventional septic systems powered by gravity flow, filtering through soil, and the natural soil organisms that purify sewage. The book covers, in addition to septic tanks and drainfields, septic system maintenance, what to do if things go wrong, and alternative systems such as mounds and sand filters.

Until now there has not been a comprehensive, nontechnical book for homeowners about the intricate workings of a septic system--what it is, how it works, and how to maintain and repair it., For the rural homeowner, this illustrated, easy-to-understand manual covers the basics of a septic tank and drain field, potential problems and solutions, greywater systems, composting toilets, and other alternatives. 125 illustrations. Tables., Learn all about household septic systems--including how to maintain and repair them--whether you're planning to build or already own a home. More than 28 million households have septic systems, yet few homeowners know how they operate or how to maintain them. The Septic System Owner's Manual describes the conventional gravity-fed septic system, how it works, how it should be treated (what should and should not go down the drain), how it should be maintained, and what to do if things go wrong. Written by Lloyd Kahn, with illustrations by Peter Aschwanden, this is your straightforward, easy-to-understand guide to small-scale residential wastewater disposal. The Septic System Owner's Manual is perfect for the average homeowner, based on conventional systems, providing practical advice on how to keep these systems up (or should we say down?) and running. You'll also appreciate information on the evolution in composting toilet systems, designs for simple graywater systems, and some typical alternatives to the standard, gravity-fed septic system. There's a chapter with advice to any community that's faced with town-wide septic upgrades and a chapter on the history of waterborne waste disposal. Homeowners will especially find this book useful in terms of the following: Working systems: By understanding septic system principles, you will know how to maximize its useful life. Partially failing systems: You may be able to nurse along an ailing system or even bring it back to life. Failing systems: You are given a discovery process to search for the problem. Alternative systems: You will understand how they work and what purposes they serve. Get this comprehensive book, and get to know the ins and outs of your septic system. It could save you countless repair bills and countless headaches!, Septic systems for handling sewage have to be maintained but little information is available on the subject. This manual explains how they work, the potential problems that owners often encounter and how to repair them when they go awry.
