Hi All,

The wife tried some chlorine based tablet things in the tank of the toilet and it kept the bowl nice and clean. The tablets were rated Septic Tank safe as the amount f Chlorine going in was quite small. But -- after about 3 months all the seals in the tank disintegrated. I replaced them all and now no more tablets. Momma has to use elbow grease.

Just heard about a bromine tablet system that feeds the treated water straight into the bowl water-flow and does not sit in the tank. Sounds good.

Question is, will small amounts of Bromine flushed to the Septic Tank (1000-gal) be an issue? We only flush the toilets every time with solids or other than that, about two or three times a day for accumulated pee *if* it starts to smell. Gotta stop eating Asparagus!

Thanks

Unless you're dealing with extremely limited water for
some reason, why not just flush the toilets more and
skip the tablets? The addional water has to cost an
order of magnitude less than those tablets. I don't
use any tablets and have no problems.

As for the bromine screwing up the septic system, larger
quantities of any disinfectant isn't a good thing. But if the
chlorine
tablets didin't screw it up, I don't see why bromine would as
long as they are at similar small concentrations.
