Macerating/dumping into septic system vent stack.

We are brand new 5th wheel owners. We have a massive septic system with no easy access clean out, but there is a vent stack right next to our 5th wheel. Providing we are adding the recommended chemicals into our toilet is macerating waste & dumping into a vent stack safe for the septic system? Thanks for your help!

    Just a suggestion, why not contact a system installer and ask, hypothetically of course. You might get the answer you are looking for or one that could save you money and an unsanitary mess in the future. I can see no reason to involve a government official that may or may not know how your system is constructed.

    If you are worried and feel the need to notify the local building department, go to the contractor and find out what he would do, then armed with that knowledge go to the Building Dept.

    As far as dumping your tanks occasionally being considered as adding a bedroom, HUMMMM.
