Default Cleaning Sump Pump Pit


wrote in message
...
Hello,
I would like to clean out my sump pump pit since there is who-
knows-what down there (mold, bacteria, whatever). Some folks
recommend pouring a gallon of bleach in there, but I'm not sure about
that. Neglecting any safety concerns for humans, what would this do
to my septic tank? Would this kill the bacteria in my septic
system?
Thanks.


All you need is about a 1/4 cup in a gallon of water and that won't harm the
septic.
