it has been discovered that one of the most deadly items to go
into septic tanks is nylon fibre...it comes from laundry. many of
the man made fibres never break down and plug the drain field.
we do not allow unfiltered laundry water to go into our septic
system at the farm...and have had no problems.
mel from minnesota....some plumber has invented a fibre trap. he will
become famous.

You've got me curious... You say one of the most deadly items to got
into the septic tank is nylon fibre, but you don't say what's deadly
about it. You only mention that it never breaks down and plugs the drain
field. Is it an enviromental hazard?
While we're on the subject of septic tanks, last summer we moved into a
totaly new house that has a septic system. Ever since we've lived here
there's been a mysterious foul odor around the outside of the house. It
isn't constant, and it doesn't seem to be coming from under the house. I
went under the house on a particularly odorous day, to see if there were
any broken pipes and it didn't even smell under there. No broken pipes.
Any Ideas?

Our septic lets out the occasional giant stink, but it only after a lkot
of water goes rushing in and stirring up contents...generally its right
after I do a load of laundry..I suspect its the malted milk
effect..you know, sort of giant whirring...it always settles down and
since our washer is on the second floor, I suspect the gravity flow is
heavier, making for a stirring(joke) experience..
