Hey everyone. We moved into our new house about 1-1/2 years ago. From the time we moved in, we have had excess water on the surface of our leach field. I have been trying to diagnose the trouble, playing around with the distribution box to make sure all the lines were getting the correct distribution. I can't figure it out and need some help. I have one distribution box feeding 6 lines. The 6 lines run parallel to each other, down a very very slight slope. I first noticed excess water on one of the last couple of lines, so I opened up the D box and noticed the leveling baffles inside the D box might be sending a little too much to those lines. So, I leveled the lines up the best I could and figured the problem was fixed. After a few months, the problem didn't seem to be getting fixed, so I opened the D box back up and practically closed the bottom few lines and left the top few open, thinking maybe the slight slope was causing the bottom lines to collect the top lines runoff. This finally dried up the bottom lines but, as you can imagine, started to see the problem in the top few lines. At this point I called the installer back and had him take a look. The installer thinks the problem is not enough soil over the lines. This was during the wet fall/winter, so while I waiting for more soil, the installer set the D Box up to send most of the stuff to the 1st line, then set the other 5 lines on a level higher than the 1st. All winter and this spring, the surface of the 1st line has been bone dry. The other 5 lines have been saturated. I opened the D Box back up and the water level was halfway over the opening to the 1st line, and sitting at the level of the lower 5 lines. I called the installer back out, thinking the 1st line is clogged, or uphill, or something. Why else would it be dry, if it is getting most/all the stuff? He came out and dug open the 1st line. The first line is full of water, so it must not be clogged. The installer still thinks the lower lines need more dirt. Yes, the dirt seems sunken in on the 5 lower lines, and it does seem like the saturation is contained to just over the line. But it is also sunken in on the 1st line that is dry. Does this diagnosis seem right to you? Is there anything else that could be causing the problem? Thanks in advance.

Ok here is the thing. I have a Half mile of 2 inch pipe that runs water to my house, thing is there isn't enough pressure to get the water to go over a hill. Can I add a 2nd pressure tank to the exesiting one to get enough pressure to push the water over the hill ? I can't afford to rent a backhoe to dig a trench down as far as it would need to go to be level or to bulldoze the entire hill. Thing one is can I put both pressure tanks close to each other or can I place the new one like halfway to my house, and then how do I connect it if it is in a "solo" place? Do I need a full set of pressure switch gauge and all or will the pre pressure tank work all alone? I really need help here my wife and kids have to stay with family tell I can get this done. I can post pics of the water pump tank and well area that is setup now. There is a 12000 gallon water tank for storage but not enough down force to push the water all the way through the water pipes to my house and property. I have a 86 gallon water worker tank to use as my 2nd tank. And a 20 gallon pressure tank is set up at the pump station.
