if you have never had it done, I would have it pumped so you can start with a clean slate. I bought a new house in 08 and it had been vacant for 1.5 years, then was a rental for 2, so it had been a while since an owner lived in it. I pumped it just to start a fresh.
Oddly, septic guys tell me that infrequent (part time) use is worse on a system for tree roots because the roots must infest the lines to find water, whereas a full timer would be putting out water more regularly.
Also oddly enough septic systems are rated by the # of bedrooms, not bathrooms, in a home. I guess they figure that bedrooms are more accurate way to estimate people.
Also see below a post I wrote in 08, ignore my attempts at humor at the bottom, but I did think the test of "flushable" wipes was enlightening, at least to me.
