Default Septic Tank and Water Softener

Hi,

I have a septic tank. I also have 3 water softener units (one is a softner,
one is for iron removal and one is for tannin removal). Each runs on a 3
day cycle so one regenerates each night and flushes all the water into the
drain. I just discoverd that these don't drain into the septic tank but
just into a space in my back yard. I now know the answer to why that area
is always soggy. Unfortunately the area has become a mosquito breeding
ground and we have a 20 x 20 area of the back yard we really can't use.

I am doing renovations now and have the opportunity to re-route these to
feed into my septic tank. My question is whether or not this is a bad thing
for the septic tank? It is all water and no solid, but don't know enough
about the details of septic to know for sure.

Any thoughts?

Alan
