This all depends on the condition of the septic tank. Its like asking, how long is a piece of string
The septic tank, is a standard concrete tank, should last forever. It's just a big concrete box with an inlet and outlet pipe that holds waste. You will have to have it pumped to remove solids when it gets full, but you shouldn't ever have to replace the tank.
Septic Systems have been installed since the late 1800's replacing the old outside facility known as the outhouse. A septic system is a mini onsite sewage treatment system used when municipal sewers are not available. Depending on the age of your home, septic Systems on Long Island usually consist of a primary receiver (septic tank) and a drainage area (cesspool or drainage field). Homes constructed after 1973, will have a septic tank as the primary receiver while homes built prior to 1973 will have a cesspool as the primary receiver. (All homeowners residing in homes built prior to 1973 be sure to read the article on block construction cesspools on the home page) If properly installed and maintained on a regular basis, your septic system will provide many years of trouble free service.
As long as the tank is protected by typically a concrete pad you can use whatever type of decking you want over it. There is usually no restrictions when it comes to this type of project.
Every system is going to be different based on location and soil type. If I were trying to find the septic tank, I would draw a line straight out from the house closest to the bathroom and another at 90 degrees stoward the lateral lines. Where the lines cross should be close. Depending on how deep the tank is, there may be darker grass or a dead spot depending on weather, rainfall or the lack of.
How deep and what is the perk rate of the ground soil.
The volume for a 6-foot wide, 1000-foot long pipe is 211,500 US gallons.
This can only be calculated once the length of the pipe in question has been established.

That would depend on how far it was to the septic tank.
People don't die at age 1000, because that is not possible. People are unable to live that long.
20 x 10 x 5 = 1000 cubic ft. tank capacity. There are 7.48052 U.S. gallons in a cubic foot. The tank will hold 7.48052 x 1000 = 7480.52 U.S.gallons. (Or approx. 6228.8 Imperial gallons because they are bigger in volume). (There are 6.2288 Imperial gallons in a cubic foot).
Many people have septic tanks, but few give the pumping much thought. However, septic tank pumping is something that should be done on a regular basis, obviously more often in a larger family home. However, if you have a lot of land you are able to pump your septic tank out on your own, with no smell to bother you. Two septic tanks will decompose the contents for several months, and then it will slowly release into your predetermined septic field. As the contents are decomposed already and seeped out slowly, there is no discernible smell or problem, as long as it is not too near to a water source.

Yes, Clorox can be used in toilets with septic tanks as long as it is used in moderate amounts. Excessive use of Clorox can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the septic tank that is essential for breaking down waste. It is always a good idea to use septic-safe products when possible.
