I have a septic tank, and I want to know the difference between it and a septic system. What are the main differences?

The primary difference between a septic tank and a septic system is that a septic tank is designed to treat wastewater from a single household, while a septic system can be used to treat wastewater from multiple households or businesses. Additionally, a septic tank has a limited capacity for waste, whereas a septic system can handle more wastewater than a septic tank. Finally, a septic tank must be emptied regularly in order to maintain its efficiency, while a septic system does not require emptying as often.
