Hi,
Having decided to replace my septic tank soakway (backing up) with a leach field in accordance with the advice on this excellent site, I have a couple of further questions?
1. What gradient if any should the closed system be laid on? or indeed should this be level?
2. What bedding material should be used?
3. The flexible pipes look very easy to install, but are they more likely to become blocked over time?
My main concern is having done the perc. test, and installed the system, not to find the exercise has failed, or fails in a short period of time!
Thanks for the excellent site!
Regards
Simon
