Sounds like you may have a vent problem. When the level of the holding tank gets full, the pump kicks in and pushes the fluid to the drain field. Would suspect that when the tank is draining it is sucking out your toilet, should not be! Get your contractor back for a look see. : I just moved into a brand new house with a pressurized septic system. Both toilets flush fine and fill the bowl about mid way but then drain almost to empty. I tried filling the bowl with excess water and the extra water makes it drain also. There doesn't appear to be any outside leaks. : In addition the washer drain gurgles randomly. : Any thoughts?
