Some of the most popular types of septic tanks include gravity-based septic systems, pressurized septic systems, and aerobic septic systems. Gravity-based septic systems rely on natural forces such as water tables or soil absorption to move wastewater away from homes. Pressurized septic systems use a pump to create a pressure gradient that moves wastewater through pipes to a treatment plant. Aerobic septic systems use bacteria to break down organic matter in wastewater, producing methane gas which can be used to power vehicles or generate electricity.
