HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY SYSTEM PUMPED
Good question. Typically, every 2 to 5 years, depending on daily useage. Although this question does not have a definitive answer, there are tests that can be performed to determine when to pump. A sludge test should be performed during each inspection. Your Provider should keep a copy of the sludge levels so that he/she can better determine when to recommend pumping. In turn, you should keep a record with the date the pumping was performed. This way you and your Provider will have a better understanding of a general time line between pumpings.
Your Provider should also visually check the sludge. If the sludge is a dark color opposed to a light color it is generally time to pump. If too much sludge accumulates, solids could possibly clog your pump and spray heads.
