A couple of interesting facts from a septic system contractor that may help you to get a few more years between tank cleanings. Their own tests showed that Charmin toilet paper was the worst on a septic system & that Scott was the best.

If you are going to put Rid-X or some other type of enzyme into your system, do it when you will be away for a couple of days to give the enzyme time to work instead of being immediately washed out by subsequent plumbing use.
