Hi, can anyone tell me how much caustic soda to put in my cesspool? And
when do I add it, on a monthly basis or just when it starts to fill up
and needs to be pumped?

My Dad recently died and with him died the directions on how much and
how often he added the caustic soda. All I know is that he always wore
gloves and a mask when working with the caustic soda. Any info would be
appreciated. Pam

Serves ya right for taking your Dad for granted. You should have been
helping him instead of assuming he would be on **** patrol forever.

Assuming this is not a troll...

None at all.

Thanks Rich, you're obviously an idiot who doesn't know the answer.

Carry on, the newsgroups need dumb male posters.

It sounds like he was doing something totally unnecessary and perhaps even
harmful.

Ask the municipal building permit office where you live.
You need to be sure you are talking about an (open)
cesspool as distinct from a (closed) septic tank.

I think you're correct. I just had the sepic tank pumped and the guy
told me that caustic soda shouldn't be added. He also said they test the
water and if it contains caustic soda, they will not accept it.

John, thank you for your nice, helpful and civil response!

I wrote 'cesspool' and it's a septic tank. I talked to the guy that
pumped it and he told me caustic soda is a bad thing to use. Now I'll
have to figure out how to safely dispose of a half bag of caustic soda.
Thank you for your help. Pam

Very carefully. In case you don't already know this, Caustic Soda
= Lye = Sodium Hydroxide. Call your local hazardous waste disposal
facility. I'm sure they'll take it.

Make a bunch of homemade soap with it.
