Septic tanks are the solution to get rid of wastewater from homes in rural areas. In modern cities, there are interconnected sewerage lines so the need of septic tanks is nonexistent. For someone living in a region where septic tanks are common, they should know how these tanks work. First, your septic tank is buried underground, and collects all the drained water from your house. There is an opening of the tank located usually nearby your house. The wastewater that collects in the tank has gases, liquids and solids. The solids settle down beneath the ground, the water is in the middle and the top layer is full of toxic scum (light solids).
Homes that have basements need septic tank pumps. Septic tank pumps used in basements are devices that would push the water from the basement into the tank. Keep in mind that the basement is located below the level of the tank and so the wastewater will not travel into the tank under the force of gravity. The pump pushes water into the tank, but has to take care of the solids first. It will shred the solids in order for them to travel easily with liquid through the drainage lines. Modern septic tanks have another new addition that people would often refer to as septic tank pumps.
This is a pump tank with effluent pump fitted into it. As soon as the water rises to a certain level, an alarm goes off letting you know that you need to call for a team to pump out the scum. Some septic tanks pumps will not alarm you, but rather send the excess waste into the drain field and adjust the water to normal levels within the tank. Septic tank pumps that push wastewater into the tank are also referred to as sewage pumps. It is always best to consult with professionals before you buy one for your house.
