Sitting idle should not bother a bit. When I install a new drainfield I put it in a couple inches below the old one but keep the old one hooked up, it will dry up and give more service when the new one is getting tired. If you do put in a tank it must be full of water up to it's operating level, they really suck when they float out of the ground. And stay away from the 4 inch perforated pipe. If your add up the surface area of all those little holes you don't have squat. A product called Infiltrator is tough to beat, it is an "A" frame plastic tunnel that is easy to install and offers massive surface area on the sides and bottom, one eight foot piece will outperform a hundred feet of perforated pipe. I usually put in 50 to 80 ft of it, here in NE anyway.
