I found the distribution box.  The health dept inspector suggested to switch the valve.  Where would it be?

I believe that he's asking about a flow diverter, (see image).  This fitting diverts the flow from one section od drainfield to  another.  A flow diverter is replaced by a manifold/ distribution box.  If it's not there you don't have one,  Regards,  Tom

Tell us what issue you have and why the health inspector would pay you a visit. Diverter valves do exist, I just never have seen one in 62 years. How old is your septic?
