    Pump Station before Septic Tank??

    Thanks for all your help Spartan. I will check out the Orenco system. Zoeller does have it listed on their website. It is in the products tab and they have a ton of information on it. The filter has a lifetime warranty. I'll check into the security measure as well. That is definitely a...
