I was happy to read the replies from those of you on well water and septic tanks. We just added the washer hook-ups to my farm house and this is a new experience for me. I guess until I see it "in action" I will be nervous about using the washing machine using well water and the septic system. The new dishwasher hook up does not scare me since I have read that dishwashers use so much less water vs. handwashing the dishes, which I have been doing up to this point. Ah, lifestyle changes!
