A bit of Septic System History

A bit of Septic System History, back in 1919 C.P. Rhymus and Leslie C. Frank worked for the U.S. Public Health Service. And they did a feasibility study on the use of single family home's septic systems and small communities in America. Rhymus and Frank recommended what was called a Imhoff tank

to serve a single family home of five folks. They also specified alternate drainfields fed by a distribution box, which could very will be History's first dual drainfield. Since this here tank did not have a patent or royalty restrictions, it was adopted on a wide scale for single family homes.

Now over the years, septic tanks have changed in the design of them somewhat. But they sure do still perfom the same functions, in respect to teduction of solids and sludge. The major improvement of a home's wastes since the early 1900's has been the variety of soil absorption systems for the treatment of septic tank effluent, after the sewage has exited the tank. The most common it has take, the form of a drainfield.
