When is this tank due?
Tank size and household size are most of the answer. Pick both and get the published pumping interval — the numbers come from the standard extension-service table, not from us.
How many people live there?
Plan on pumping about every 2½ years.
That's how long a 1,000-gallon tank takes to fill with solids with 4 people using it.
Heavy water use, a garbage disposal, and tank additives can all shorten the interval.
