Do I need to add chemicals to keep my septic system running correctly?
No, but if you are constantly having to pump your septic tank we do recommend having the sludge cleaned out.
How often should I pump out the tank?
This answer might not be very specific, but the tank should not need to be pumped out every five years. Some septic tanks have not been pumped for 30 years, and if they have a good bacterial base, they will continue to work for many, many years to come.
What items should NOT be flushed down the toilet?
Bleach, Paper Towels, Baby Wipes, Diapers, Feminine Hygiene Products,
Any product that cannot be broken down
