Highly doubtful, why is my tank 15 years old and never been pumped? A properly installed and used septic system should never have to be pumped.
This does not take into account kids toys and bees nests.
It takes longer than that. Rid X does not dissolve non-soluables. When those start filling up your drain field get out your wallet. Don't believe me.

Did the same with Rid-X the next week and my problem was gone. Some may say it doesn't work, but my experience is different.
so after 2 weeks it was more broken up than after 1 week?
big surprise

Curious what makes you such an expert on this topic? Would be interested to hear your credentials.
After one week with water only the toilet would burp every time it was flushed. After a week with Rid-X all problems were resolved. Been that way for two seasons now.

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.
Is your diet high in Uranium?
