Exactly what does this mean did he elaborate? I have a cover we've always removed and pumped from there. Where's the other end and how do you get to it? Doesn't mean digging up the yard does it? Did he mention the frequency of pump-outs?

Good questions. I have no idea about "both ends". Frequency of pump out depends on usage. I do my main residence every other year. The same pumper recently recommended every year for a second home (rental) because they had more intense use on a system built in 1968. At camp, very low, seasonal use, the pumper recommended every 5-7 years.
Even though the label says "Flushable" those bathroom wipes do not break down the way toilet/tissue paper does and they will clog the system in short order.
