Just a few thoughts. I'd get rid of the metal tank as soon as I could afford to, they are no good (too small and the lids corrode away). You need at least a 1000 gallon concrete tank. Also, you don't need to put chemicals or anything else in to get the septic action working. And you don't need to fill it with water after pumping it out, unless you have a really high ground water table and if that were the case, the system probably would not be working anyway. The best time to pump out the system is any time other than mid-winter as the heat generated by the septic action keeps the system from freezing, but if it is pumped out and it takes some time to get the septic action going and it gets real cold, you could get a freeze-up. I say this as an engineer who had had some experience designing septic cystems.
