Why is Septic Tank Pretreatment Important?

Longer Durability for the main septic tank.

As previously stated, the pretreatment tank is the filtration system to the main tank. Ideally, a pretreatment tank should minimize the quantity of sludge material entering the primary septic tank by preventing clogging in the septic tank system. In so doing, the pretreatment tank offers the additional advantage of prolonging the lifespan of the primary septic tank.
Additionally, the pretreatment septic tank acts as another storage facility for human waste. The latter ensures that the primary septic tank takes longer to fill, consequently increasing the period for pump-outs. Studies have shown that installing a pretreatment tank to a failing septic tank restores its storage capabilities.

Pretreatment tanks reduce the frequency of Septic tank cleaning.

According to Septic Blue, the frequency of septic cleaning and septic tank pumping largely depends on the size of the septic tank and the installation of the primary septic tank. However, installing a pretreatment tank is ideal as it minimizes the number of times that you need to pump out your septic tank.  

Pretreatment Tank Minimizes on Underground Water and Soil Contamination.

Due to the pretreatment tank's filtration system advantage, the quantity of waste flows to the primary tank. Consequently, the chances of overflow to the surrounding soil and underground water are minimized. Owners of homes with little to no space for sizeable primary septic should consider installing a pretreatment septic tank. The latter ensures that there are no overflows.
