Rid-X

To expand on why I said its a waste; I Googled some studies some Universities did on septic tank care. They said a septic tank has so much active microbes in it that when fresh feces enters the tank, the microbes it it die because everything has been consumed. What eventually damages the leech field is build up of fiber and certain fats that don't decay, mostly from synthetic fabrics from the laundry. That's why you should have it pumped every five years or so.

I read those same studies when I moved to the country and had a septic system installed. Did just what it said, and used nothing. Tank needed to be pumped every 2_3 years. At that time i started adding rid x, or similar product, monthly, or at least every couple of months. At this point, hasn't needed to be pumped in the last 12-14 years. I'll keep using it, thanks.
