bruce, I was talking to one of my friends about the filter. She has one on her septic system too. She was telling me that they started building them that way here somewhere around the 90's. They're to prevent anything but liquid from going into the drain field helping extend the life of a drain field, and further protecting the environment from less that liquid waste. https://mechanicalboost.com/septic-tank-filter/
Mind you, I'm not against it. I just wish we had known, so we could have done proper maintenance BEFORE it began having trouble, and ended up costing more. I guess that's what Dh and I get for being older. While we do try to keep up to date with things, this is something that totally got past us. Live, and learn I guess.
