Featuring a large 1-inch diameter pipe to prevent clogging, milled ends for a watertight seal and easy sludge penetration, and 1-foot measurement markings, it provides precise, reliable readings. The built-in cleat secures the cord during sampling, and the included ventilated carrying case ensures easy cleaning and drying. Backed by a lifetime guarantee, this tool empowers you to know exactly when your septic tank needs pumping, saving you from unexpected maintenance costs. ## Description Take the guesswork out of your septic tank with Septic Checker!Septic tanks break down the contents, and allow the water to flow into the leach field. Over time, sludge develops on the bottom of the tank, and needs to be pumped out. Knowing when to pump your tank is the tricky part. With the Septic Checker, just remove it from its carrying case, screw the pieces together with the built-in unions, remove the cover off of the septic tank, and slowly extend the Septic Checker into the primary tank (inlet/house side). When you reach the bottom, you just pull the Septic Checker up about an inch, and pull on the cord until it is taught, and while keeping it taught, wrap the cord around the built-in cleat. This will pull the stopper to the end of the clear PVC pipe, which has been milled to perfectly fit the stopper, and keep it in place. Next, you simply pull the Septic Checker straight up, and view the cross-section sample of your septic tank. Not only does the milled end of the pipe provide an excellent water tight seal with the stopper, it is also shaped to cut easily through the sludge layer without disturbing it. The Septic Checker is marked in 1 foot increments, so you can easily see how much sludge, water and scum are present. If you have near, or over 30% sludge + scum, it's time to have your tank pumped. The Septic Checker, including the cord, is impervious to the septic contents, so it is very easy to clean when you are done with a garden hose. Case has holes drilled in it so that the Septic Checker can dry after you rinse it off and put it back in the case.Lifetime guarantee: If your Septic Checker ever breaks due to any defect, we will fix or replace it for free.Please note: If you need to remove the cover to your septic tank (if you don't have a riser installed), they can be quite heavy and so it is recommended to have a helper to help you remove the cover. NOTE: Tie Ball color may vary. For instance, you may get a black tie ball instead of a red tie ball as shown in the images. Review: Works great! - Well made and worked perfectly.

Thanks** A: the tube is 35" and the checker folded into 3 sections is 34". **Q: I have 1000 gal tank will the 8 ft work?** A: Hi.. Sure, as long as the tank is not buried deeper than 4 feet, the 8 foot long version will be fine. (We recommend the 12 foot long version for septic tanks which are buried deeper than 4 feet.) **Q: Does this use polyvinyl rope to connect the stopper and the cleat ends?** A: Yes. Non-absorbing polyvinyl. Easy to rinse clean. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great! *by A***Z on February 17, 2026* Well made and worked perfectly.
