Tanks should be emptied every 3-5 years. You can find local specialist companies under "vidange" in the phone book (Pages Jaunes).
Please adhere to the following rules regarding the filter area:

1. Do not drive over the filter area with cars, trucks, or heavy equipment.
2. Do not plant trees or shrubbery in the area, because the roots can get into the lines and plug them.
3. Do not cover the filter with hard surfaces, such as concrete or asphalt. Grass is the best cover, because it will help prevent erosion and help remove excess water.
4. Do divert surface runoff water from roofs, patios, driveways,
and other areas away from the filter area.

These items can overtax or destroy the biological digestion taking place within the system or clog pumps and pipes.
