Your drain should go directly to the septic where it flows through the drain field and back to nature's ground water table.3 I also have a well but do have a city sewer system. The cost of running a well pump is typically less than the cost paid for city water and sewer system. The average family pays $70 a month for public water. This amount is based on the average person using between 80 and 100 gallons of water per day.

To clarify only my basement sink and washer drain into my sump. Everything else does drain directly out to my septic and then to the drain field. My RO unit is located in this area thus why it's easy for me to direct the waste water to my washer or to my rejection collection brute barrel.
Every time I need to use water my well pump has to run so by not wasting the rejection water I save electricity and thus money. Every time water goes out to the septic that pump has to run. Look, I am not destitute I can pay my electric bill. To me it's just the right thing to do. |
