Thanks.


My last house had a septic system. I lived there 15 years and never
added any of the enzymes. It never gave me a problem. I only pumped it
when the new buyers requested it. If you call your local health
department, they will give you all the info you need for your area.

Yes, dog turds are ok to put in the tank. As long as it is in the
first part of the tank.

Remember: Women are like dog turds, the older they get, the easier
they are to pick up. (unknown aurthor)
