Raspy, that is what I was thinking. The inlet T would be the first place a clog would happen. I have also read where the inlet T stops the water coming in from doing unnecessary churning. Then I also read where the inlet should be lower than the outlet T and then I read the reverse. I'm inclined to let what is working continue to work. The septic clean out guy did not see the downturned outlet pipes because I did not have those access holes located. I only opened the access holes above the inlet pipes. He thought I had just a straight outlet pipes like the inlet pipes and he suggested 4 Ts.
After he left I found the other access lids above the outlet pipes. I had to remove the square cement lids with hydraulic jack a pipe and a block of wood - luckily they did not crack when they popped up.
I have learned that the scum layer can be 4" - 8" thick and the outlet downturn pipes are 16" and 9" so I should be OK there. However if a T is placed at the final outlet you would be able to tell if sludge is entering the field line.
I still have a few days before it fills to the outlets and am still researching.
