Be sure..be sure to use any of the good septic additives regularly.

I do.

Why do you asshats put your bumpkin feelings ahead of expert advice?

The Angie article has some silly person calling drain cleaner,
disinfectants, and bleach "septic tank additives". All 3 of those
kill bacteria and are not "additives". Your 'expert' advice is truly
lacking validity, nymmer.

I add an ounce of Roebic anaerobic bacteria 4 times a year. It cleans
my main drain and adds the proper bacteria to the septic system, both
good things. I figure that it offsets my small use of bleach on white
loads.

Sorry, Gunner. I, too, just responded to the nitwit.


"The simple fact is septic tanks are designed to take care of waste
disposal on their own — no additives needed. With regular septic tank
pumping and inspections, a septic system should last decades."

Instead of accepting readily available information, we have one
crackpot recommending fairy dust even though his system failed, and
another crediting fairy dust for his success. Too funny.

When we sold our mountain home with a Septic tank and large field after
17+ years of use the pump guy needed help finding the hole, and then he
pumped the liquid out and the bottom was clean. The special dish soaps
and washer and showers with hair soaps cut any grease that got there and
it was consumed. There are soaps that kill natural bio houses in the tank.

I had a septic system installed on my property years ago and then I
did my own installation for our house about 7 years ago. I learned an
awful lot about how septic systems work and why they fail. Island
County, WA also has a class that teaches you how to check your septic
system. Besides being really helpful when I installed my own system
the County Health officer explained why the county hates it when
people add the enzymes and crap to septic tanks. The solids that are
supposed to settle innthe septic tank instead get carried out into the
drain field. Where they then proceed to eventually clog the drain
field. This has all sorts of negative consequences. Though we tend to
focus on the septic tank and how to avoid pumping it the drain field
is the most important part of the septic system. Properly operating
you will have safe disposal of the sewage from your house. Improperly
operating can and will eventually lead to unsafe pollution levels. Not
only that, the drain field is often times ruined by improper operation
of the septic system and cannot be rehabilitated for cheap. This is
why a reserve drain field area is required for gravity systems, which
both of mine are. Pressurized systems, AKA mound systems, can just
have the mound removed and replaced. Which costs waaaaaaaay more than
a gravity system.

I'd truly hate to have to pay to repair one. I'm just glad the idiot
bitch didn't ruin my leach field when she put her "arena" in over it.
