Same as I feel now. The test makes no sense. The problem with a septic system is usually when drain field lines become plugged with soap or grease. This test of running 5 times the actual amount of liquid through a septic tank into a saturated drain field proves exactly nothing.
And it does not test that a septic tank is functioning either.
