Product questions
What septic tank sizes does Tim's list?
The listed sizes are 500, 625 and 1,000 gallons of liquid storage. They come from our previous website, so call (254) 445-2268 to confirm which are currently available.
How do I know what size I need?
Your installer or local septic regulator determines what your property requires. Sizing guidance is not published on this website, so get that requirement first, then call to ask about the matching tank.
What does 600 gallons per day mean?
It is the listed treatment capacity, meaning how much wastewater the system is listed to treat per day. It is not the tank size in gallons, which is liquid storage.
How do I know a part will fit my system?
Fit depends on the system. Have the make and model of your aerobic system ready, or the old part or its label, and confirm the part by phone before you buy.
How long are the bumper curbs?
Each curb is 8 feet long. They come in six styles. Style details are not published on this website, so ask about them when you call.
What is the difference between a feed trough and a water trough?
Both are concrete troughs for livestock. Feed troughs are for feeding. Water troughs are for keeping a supply of clean water available.

Why does concrete harden?
The chemical process called cement hydration produces crystals that interlock and bind together.

It takes time for the hydrated cement crystals to form.
How can you make concrete set faster?
