DIY Septic Tank Drain Field Restore (Leach Bed Flush)

THIS IS THE VIDEO I wish I could've found on YouTube (back when I'd first realized that my septic tank's drain bed wasn't functioning correctly).

You can't just skip to the part you'll need in order to fix it quickly. Not all problems have simple how-to vids that can be streamlined down to two minutes. This video is conceptual; it has been made to cover the topic enough to get you to think. If you do have a leach field problem, then it's in your best interest to watch the entire video and read all of the notes before acting.

Thus, there are no chapter markings. But here are the timestamps for the Notes~
One & Two: At start.
Three: 5 min 3 sec.
Four: 18 min 50 sec.
Five: 21min 5 sec.

Note on the sewer-jetter~
Be sure to get the ¼" hose if you want it to pass through a 90° elbow.
It's my opinion that this device would work better for this application if the nozzle were to only spray in one direction. Pressurized streams lose much of their affect whenever they're exposed to turbulence. Getting the spray away faster would probably help it to work better, not to mention that the water would also drain away better if it were being constantly forced it in the direction of the tank. Next time I do this, I'll make my own forward-facing, three-orifice jet nozzle. Then I'll shove the hose in as deep as possible before I start spraying as I pull out. Please suppress your predilection for puerility. I managed to keep out the toilet humor out of this project. Extend to me the same courtesy.

One more thing:
Using a breakdown product to avoid having to pump your septic tank means that you are just displacing the biomass. Doing so is neither a treatment nor a solution; it just means you're dumping your unfiltered sewage into the natural water supply like a hillbilly. Pump your tank, cheapskate. Do it every other year.

Please ask any questions and offer any criticisms. Fair warning, though: attempts to defend folk remedies will be harshly dealt with. I have neither sympathy nor tolerance for the ignorant, superstitious, and/or pseudo-scientific.
