    What's the best way to "start up" a newly pumped septic tank?

    Just had my septic tank pumped and now I need to start it back working. What would you recommend to get this tank up to speed? I have bought a box of Rid-X and will use that. But they recommend one box every month from now on. The cost is about 70 dollars a year and won't make or break me...

    Septic/Leach Field question......

    Thank you...... Will get started on this stuff. I need to look into this Chamber system you mentioned and start gathering some information, just in case. I didn't even realize that there was anything else other than a leach field. In "theory" (all things being perfect) shouldn't a septic tank...

    Septic/Leach Field question......

    Hope this is the correct place for this question, and bear with me if I don’t use the correct terminology: I have a septic tank and leach field system that is almost 20 years old. Most of that time there has only been two people using it. Nothing has ever been done to the system; it has...

    Noisy Shower control knob - really noisy.

    Guys - thanks for the help. Will look into a new shower head and maybe a water saving washer. My shower head is very old, (~20 years) and I have repaired it once because I really like the darn thing a lot better than a couple of others I have tried after my original head fell apart. Have always...

    Noisy Shower control knob - really noisy.

    Eric - Just in case you check back in here you are right on the money. If I turn the water flow to 100% the noise goes away. So now the noisy won't be so bothersome to me, because I would rather listen to the noise than waste a ton of water with the pretty high pressure I have. If you...

    Noisy Shower control knob - really noisy.

    Eric - I have not tried turning the water pressure up high, or at least not in years, I will give that a try tonight. About 30% on is all the water we need, but that very well may be the cause of the noise, water flow restriction. I'll check the shower head as well, but I'm pretty confident it...

    Noisy Shower control knob - really noisy.

    Hi all - brand new to this forum and will start out asking for help determining why my shower control knob is so darn noisy. I have two showers in the house and they both are the same. They are Delta's and they both have this high pitched water flow noise coming from the control knob area when...
