When my home was constructed in 2002, the local health department dicatated that our septic system needed a "perimeter drain", which is basically a french drain. Instead of using rock like every other one I've ever heard of, ours was constructed using sand. It works great (runs water constantly 7 months out of the year), but is there a reason to NOT use sand? I need to know, because I'm installing a similar drain around my home soon, and I'm unsure whether to use rock or sand. Thanks
