Understanding what is involved in septic tank pumping, it’s first important to
understand what a septic system does and how it works. A septic system is an
underground treatment system for household sewage. A typical septic system
consists of 4 components: the pipe from the house, the septic tank, a drain
field and the soil. Damage or malfunction of any of these components can cause
the system to fail which can result in soil and drinking water contamination and
costly repairs or replacements by the homeowner.

WHAT IS SEPTIC TANK CLEANING?






WHAT IS A LINT TRAP?

Lint traps are mesh screens that are designed to go over the discharge hose of a
washing machine that empties into a sink, and are also known as lint snares or
lint filters. They can be made of aluminum, stainless steel or nylon. They are
used to capture any lint that is discharged from the water to keep it from going
down the sink. Lint traps are more important today since washing machines no
longer come with a built in lint filter, as a result, more lint gets washed down
the drain, and stays on the clothes.

If you are anything at all like me, you realize the effect that lint from your
laundry has on your pipes, sink and septic system. This lint that is discharged
with the water, clogs your pipes and can harm the flow of your septic system. It
took a while before I realized that there were pre made solutions out there that
were easy to use and inexpensive to buy. To me time is money and searching for a
old nylon stocking and finding something to attach it with onto the hose so that
it wouldn’t come off when the water was coming out of the hose, was more of a
pain and more expensive time-wise for me.

If I have to spend more than 15 minutes to create something, then it’s worth the
$5 to just buy the solution. To create my own solution meant that I would have
to find a nylon that was long enough and still had enough integrity to it to
effectively filter out the lint. I would then have to find a rubber band that
would twist tight enough to hold the nylon in place for until it was time to
replace it. This solution worked in being able to reduce the lint, however the
solution was always haphazard and took way to much time for me to spend to get
it to work. Luckily I found these lint traps that are especially made for
washing machine drain hoses to specifically filter the lint from the drain
water. The particular snares I found are made of stainless steel and come with
an attachment tie that holds the filter to the hose tight enough to keep it
secure when the water discharges from the laundry machine. The great thing is
that there is no additional equipment needed to attach them to the washing
machine output hose. That means I don’t have to spend time searching the house
for something to attach it with. Remember for me, time is money. Once the lint
traps get full of lint, the best practice is to replace them when they are about
1/2 full, although I have seen them 90% full before they were changed.

5 packs of lint traps on Amazon are available for purchase or you can just
search for washing machine hose lint filters on Amazon and see what comes up.




Some problems that Lint Snares keep us from having to experience:

- clogged sink drains that are caked with lint from the discharge water during
the laundry machine spin cycle

- your sink filling up with water during the water discharge because the
drainage screens get filled with lint over time and begin to block the water
from draining out of the sink.

- globs of lint getting stuck to the side of the sink to have to be washed out
time and time again… more maintenance!




Unfortunately these lint traps don't solve the problem of more lint on our
clothes now after the wash cycle..... That is another problem for another
solution to handle.


WASHING MACHINE LINT TRAPS FACTS

- Usually made in China but some are made in the USA too.
- comes in a range from a pack of 2 to a pack of 50 lint traps and ties.
- simple to install - includes ties to attach lint filters to the output hose
and no additional tools are needed.
- large enough to fit almost all washer hose sizes.
- they can be made from stainless steel, aluminum or nylon
- they should be replaced when they are half full.


WHAT ARE SOME BENEFITS OF WASHING MACHINE LINT TRAPS?

1. Lint Traps Help to Protect Your Septic Sewage System



Households that utilize septic systems have to especially be aware of what goes
down their drains and their toilets. With many homes, their drain water flows
into the septic drain field, therefore it must remain clear of debris so water
can pass freely through the drainage field. Most lint from the washing machine
is made of non biodegradable particles and if these particles eventually build
up in the lint field, then they will eventually create enough of a blockage to
reduce the efficiency of the drain field, thus causing the septic system to fail
over time because the water can no long pass through it easily. Filtering out
the lint from the water will go a long way over time to keep the drainage field
free of non biodegradable particles, so therefore, using lint snares will keep
the health of your septic system in tact.

2. Washing Machine Lint Filters Protect the Household Plumbing

I have read many stories about homeowners having to deal with clogged pipes and
needing to call the plumber out to clean the out. One particular story I read
was the plumber showed the homeowner some of what was stuck in the pipe and
there was a lot of lint fiber that was mixed with food particles and grease
stuck to the pipe. That combination of substances cause a hard layer of coating
that caked on the pipes over time. This particular plumber shared with the
homeowner one thing that would keep that from occurring again. The plumber told
the homeowner about lint traps and how that would keep the lint out of the
drainage water. The homeowner had never heard of them before so they were quite
grateful and began using them right away. They have since been rewarded with
trouble free plumbing. It’s great when a plumber is willing to empower their
customers enough to talk them out of future work!

When lint builds up from washing machine waste water, it can create problems for
homeowners. The two mentioned above and in addition, lint build up from sinks
can occur as well. That is one more thing that needs to be taken care of in
regards to home maintenance that these filters can help you with. The good thing
is that these solutions are very inexpensive and are very simple to install.
They can be found at the hardware store, or on online places like Amazon and
other retailer websites.



How it works

A very basic explanation of how the system works begins with waste water leaving
the house through the plumbing network inside the house to the pipe leading to
the septic tank. The tank is buried underground and is usually constructed in a
water tight manner of concrete, fiberglass or polyethylene. It is intended to
hold the waste water long enough to allow the solids to settle to the bottom (to
form sludge) and the oils to float to the top (to form scum). Some of the solid
waste decomposes as well. There are compartments and a “t” shaped outlet from
the septic tank that prevents the sludge and scum from leaving the tank to
travel to the drain fields. Once the liquid enters the drain field, it is
filtered through the several layers of soil for the final treatment by removal
of harmful bacteria, viruses and nutrients.






5 TIPS TO KEEP YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM RUNNING CLEAN





There are multiple costs associated with a Septic System. I'll start with an
explanation of the costs and give the actual estimates at the bottom:

Explanation of Septic Costs:

Cost to Pump Out the Septic Tank: Homeowners should have a licensed septic
contractor pump out their septic tank every 3 to 5 years. If the tank is never
pumped, then grease and other particles will flow into the leach field and clog
the distribution pipes and the surrounding soil. Once that happens, he will need
to have a new leach field installed at a cost of $10,000+.

Listing of Estimated Septic Costs:

Cost to Pump Out the Septic Tank: $150 to $250

Cost of Septic System Testing with Dye: $75 to $125

Cost to Remove Clog in Pipes to Tank: $50 to $250 (or more, if it's serious)

Cost of Complete Visual Inspection: $300 to $600



Maintaining a regular schedule of septic tank pumping will help keep your system
running efficiently and will save you hundreds of dollars in expensive system
repairs.
