"Never" is a long time!  Although the frequency you need to pump your septic tank will depend on the size of the tank, how many people live in the home, how often people shower or flush the toilet, and how much solid matter accumulates in the tank, it is not true that the tank never needs to be pumped.  Regular maintenance will extend the life of your system.
