SEPTIC CARE TIPS
Get The Best Out Of Your TankInert Materials will build up as solids and lead to system malfunction, clogging or increased pump-out frequency. (Examples: Plastic, Rubber, Scouring Pads, Dental Floss, Cigarette Filters, Bandages, Hair, Mop Strings, Lint, Rags and Towels, Condoms)
Garbage disposal use should be limited and certain food wastes should never go down the drain. (Examples: Animal Fats, Grease, Coffee Grounds, Citrus Rinds, Egg Shells, Spoiled Dairy Products, Yeasts)
Certain paper products are not designed to dissolve in an on-site treatment system and can lead to system malfunction, back-up or increased pump-out frequency. (Examples: Disposable Diapers, Paper Towels, Baby Wipes, Facial Tissues, Moist Toilet Paper, Excessive Amounts of Toilet Paper, Scented or Quilted Toilet Paper, Feminine Products, Cotton Balls/Swabs)
Chemicals kill the microbes necessary for proper system function. (Examples: Paint, Paint Thinner, Solvents, Volatile Substances, Medicines/Antibiotics, Drain Cleaners, Automotive Fluids, Fuels, Pesticides/Herbicides/Fertilizers, Metals, Disinfectants/Sanitizers, Bleach, Mop Water)
The following clear water waste flows can at least disrupt, if not destory your treatment process: A/C Discharge Lines, Floor Drains, Gutters, Whole House Water Treatment Systems, & Sump Pumps.
Liquid detergents are recommended over powders. Fabric softener sheets are recommended over liquid softeners. Bleach should be used sparingly and at half the rate indicated on the container. Laundry should be spread out over the week, not all run at one time.
