Who knew they purposefully chlorinate home septic systems!

Who knew chlorine is fine but drain cleaner is orders of magnitude worse!
https://www.houselogic.com/organize-maintain/home-maintenance-tips/caring-for-your-septic-system/
"One study found that it took nearly two gallons of liquid bleach but
only about a teaspoon of chemical drain cleaner to kill the beneficial
bacteria in a septic tank."

Who knew some septic systems discharge chlorine into surface water!

Moderate use of chlorine is apparently no problem.
https://advancedsepticservicesfl.com/chlorine-bleach-septic-systems/
"Moderate use is the amount used in one normal size load of laundry (3/4
cup) or the amount used in an application of toilet bowl cleaner."

Who knew they use calcium hypochlorite for treating septic systems:

"They are very reactive and will kill 99% of the bacteria present in the
effluent within 10 minutes."
