The OP is new to septic tanks & you have no experience of them....
A little knowledge...... :-)

Possibly the OP has been swayed by all the information
avalailable on the net advising him against disturbing
the delicate balance existing in his septic tank by
introducing too much acid, and the possibly highly
unpleasant consequences should this balance be
disturbed.

For the sensitive nose of a townie at least. People with
muckspreaders operating within 200 yards of their
houses as part of their daily lives, may feel
differently I suppose.



I hardly feel that sticking a balloon down each of the 5
bogs he needs to initially clean will present any great
hardship. Do you ?

And baling them out afterwards :-(

Not when using his newly acquired £39.99 wet and dry vac
from Screwfix it isn't. Its almost a pleasure.


Compared to leaving acidic solutions in bogs overnight & flushing
the next day/or so? Mmm tough choices..... :-)

Right so just to be clear. Having blocked the S bend
with a balloon or similar in all 5 cases, the amount of brick
acid solution necessary to clean all 5 bowls, which will necessarily
have to be filled to near the brim to dissolve the limescale on
the backs of the bowls, will do no harm if released into
the septic tank. Those microbes will just lap it all up.

Fair enough, I'll take your word for it. Having no intention
myself of ever owning a septic tank.
