On clay soils that don't perk, you put your tank down, dump a few loads of gravel into a pile on top, put in the drain lines on the downslopes of the mound. Pump water out of the tank with electric pump whenever the float says it's full. Sounds like an ok thing, until you add up the cost of the electric line, pump, motor, the odds of the float sticking, the fact that the drain lines need to be less than a foot from the surface and we get frost to below 4 feet up here, and that you can't legally work on your own septic only licenced folks which of course jacked up all costs of any septic work. Then, it seems to turn into a useless money pit. There is more to it, you can't just use any old gravel, etc. But, that's the basics. --->Paul
