Default Cleaning Sump Pump Pit

Bleach is nothing more than a solution of sodium hyperchlorite. It
frees up oxygen, which destroys the bacteria. Since sodium
hyperchlorite is pretty unstable, it eventually ends up as sodium

going to do any harm at all. Go to it...


A related question is why is your sump pump hooked into your septic
system instead of just discharging somewhere above ground? Putting
excess ground water into a septic system isn't a good idea.
