Well Water & Septic Tank Hats

About 15 percent of Americans, more than 43 million people, rely on a private well, and roughly a quarter of US households run on a septic system. That is a lot of homeowners who know exactly where the tank lid is, who have opinions about iron in the water, and who pay the pump and the softener salt rather than a water company. One BiggerPockets thread on well versus city water describes a rental's water as something you can chew, and the same thread says what every well owner knows: people think well water is free, and it isn't. These Well Water and Septic Tank hats are for that homeowner. Badges name the water and the tank. The sentence designs carry the pride: the one rule of a septic house, the iron-content spec sheet, an owners association with a single very serious president, and free water with an asterisk. Mother Earth News passes along the rule of thumb in one line, "If you can't eat it, don't flush it," and says a tank needs pumping every three or four years, so there is plenty here to be smug about. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Choose one for your own well house, or give one to the relative whose water has only ever come from the ground.
