For over 50 yeas we have dumped out holding tanks from the RV(s) into our septic tank system here on our ranch.
We have never used any chemicals in the RV holding tanks. My wife for years,however, usually puts about a teaspoon full of laundry detergent (Tide) in our Black Water Tank when we start on a trip. This sloshes around as we drive and I can't say if it helps or not. I know that it has not hurt anything.
At home on the ranch every month I put Rid-X in the septic tank system and we have never had the septic tank pumped. The Rid-X seems to keep it working properly. Since at home our laundry, with detergent, drains into the Septic tank regularly, I believe the Tide in the RV Black Water tank can't hurt when we dump at home.
