Like Bird pointed out... the size and capacity of the system.. the soil perc and makeup, and the material going into a system will determine its lifespan. A system run near capacity in only 'average' soil, will load up fast.. especially if you bleach the necescary flora and fauna out of it.

There are booster packs to replenish the biologicals in a system to help prevent just that sort of problem.

Where I live, they design your septic system based on house square foot.. not intended # of residents or even # of fixtures inside. My wife and i built a large house for just the two of us..., and the contractor installed a more or less comercail scal septic system. I doubt the two of us will ever exced its digestion capacity. We have soil that percs immediatly too.. too good things.

Oh yeah, one more thing... the semi-digestibles aren't the biggest problem ( grease and oils / soap ).. there are biological add-ins to help with that). It is the non-digestibles... like um.. 'protection' and women's hygene products.. e/g cotton products.. diapers, etc, etc.. that really put a strain on the system, as they take up space and are non degradeable for all intents and purposes.
