Off-Grid Septic System: My Secret to No More Sewer Bills!
What happens here
Acquire French drain sections for the drain field. The video uses two 10-foot sections of NDS EZ-Drain, which are pre-wrapped with fabric to prevent clogging. These cost around $60 each. They connect directly to the horizontal pipe extending from the septic tank's outlet. The system relies on gravity for drainage, so the drain field must be installed at a slight downward pitch from the tank.
Goal: Obtain necessary components for the drainage field.
