Finding the best toilet
Finding the toilet that best serves your requirements includes making the correct choices in size, model, style and economical water use. It is really of primary importance that the toilet is perfect for the size of the bathroom. Measure the distance between the back wall and the first bolt you find positioned in the floor, which is where you will fasten down your new toilet. It would be advisable to consider the decor whenever you are deciding on the model of your toilet. In making a choice between a single piece model, where the tank and bowl are fashioned as one, and the two piece type, where the tank and the bowl are separate, it depends on personal preferences, although two piece toilets are usually inexpensive. There are two choices when it comes to toilet bowls: the oblong bowls that are more water efficient, and the round bowls which have been around for decades. Another essential concern is the comfort of the toilet seat, consequently you may need to “test drive” the seat before making your decision! Water pressure versus water efficiency is the last major consideration, as the toilet must have sufficient pressure to flush correctly and at the same time being water efficient.

The exciting world of septic tanks
Septic tanks will be the key component in small-scale sewage treatments and are found beneath just about every home not part of a city sewer system, along with the required leach field, also known as a drainage or seepage field. Once you have finished your business in the bathroom, it flushes into the septic tank, the solids falling to the bottom where anaerobic digestion occurs, and the scum floats back up to the top. As the septic tank empties into the leach field, excess liquids include impurities which will break down in a relatively short time. This sewer water drains into a network of pipes commonly built in a rock filled trench and is spread into the leach through many drainage holes. From the leach field the wastewater in time diffuses into the ground and either seeps down to the groundwater, or becomes absorbed by the roots of plants. The size of the leach field is determined by the amount of liquid the septic system has to handle, in addition to the level of the field’s porosity. In order to safeguard both the surrounding area and your wallet, you must have the tank pumped out once in a while as the settled solids at the bottom cannot be wholly consumed by anaerobic digestion. Septic tank pump-outs will be dictated by the amount of solid waste which has accumulated, which is also determined by the internal temperature of the tank, because the hotter temperatures create more favorable conditions for anaerobic digestion. Large amounts of food waste or non-biodegradable waste can overload your septic tank, and too much water use can put the leach field into saturation.
