It's pretty much useless in a normal septic system too, unless you sterilize your own poop, but it gives some folks a "peace of mind."
So on the issue of Rid-X, it does work, if allowed to work! Your statement is correct, and it does work if left to work.
I place about a 1/4 box in about a half full, black tank that had been flushed to the point of clear water coming out.
The towed 30 miles home, let sit four weeks, and drove back to the park 30 miles.
Once hooked up turned on the flusher, and pulled the dump valve the water that came out was very dark brown. It would be a waste of money to use as a normal treatment, I plan on doing this at the end of the month again as the unit will likely sit for about another month.
