Pumping your septic system on a regular basis is the best way maintain your septic system. I don't believe baker's yeast or any additives are useful for maintaining a healthy septic system. You're making a statement that I don't believe is true. Baker's yeast is one type of bacteria, and there are all types of bacteria already in there and you're constantly feeding the septic system with more and more bacteria every day. That said, it isn't going to hurt for you to put some yeast into your septic system. As one website I saw said, "It's like adding a teaspoon of salt into the ocean to make it taste saltier." But give it a try. It might make for an new and interesting kind of sour dough starter. ;-)

I have a septic tank and used it. Although I've only used it a couple times (once per toilet), I plan to only use it sparingly if ever again. I think plain old baking soda and vinegar would work just as well and be much healthier for your septic system though.

If paper in approved for septic tanks it will do a great job. A way to see if paper is. Ok to use is put 2 or 3 sheets in a fuit jar with water and shake a few times paper should dissolve

My main answer is I don't know. But, I have a strong suspicion that it would be safe. Because it's biodegradable, it will break down easily. The info I was able to find about this matter also said it was safe. It's just hard to know for certain. If I were you, I would definitely use it with a septic system but, again, I'm not 100% certain. Hope that helps!!

Michael:Per your question about what this will do to a septic system. Oh Yuk's dose is very well planned out with lab testing and field testing so the product is the correct strength. Not to strong, not to weak, so there shouldn't be much that gets into the septic system. Plus, if there is any active chemical remaining, the contaminants in the septic system would overwhelm and neutralize the chemical. With this said, this should not have any impact on the septic system.

Suggest calling the manufacture to see if it's safe to use with a septic system.

From their web site "Microbe-Lift's 100% fully matured anaerobic bacteria goes to work in situations where there is no air present (your septic system). It is harmless to man, animal, and plant life, and is 100% safe to groundwater."No harm should come to your PVC piping.

I have a septic system and green pig works great on it. I was having some overflow on my lines and it cleared that up. I also use a septic safe(northern) toilet paper. I had been using Rid-X, but now I am a green pig believer.J. KingJ. King

The Bleach cleaner is not safe for septic tanks. It would be our recommendation to use Bio-Balance (model 8202) Septic Cleaner or Original Blue Formulas as these have no chemicals that will harm the enzymes that are needed for your Septic system.

No. Septic systems treat much more than just sewage. The chemicals found in detergent and other substances will breakdown the materials that were used to create this pump and probably void the warranty. Your best bet is calling up Liberty and asking. I design sewage systems by the way.

Not aware of any down sides..We live in a very rural setting, short pipe run to the septic tank and the radials are fairly short and the soil offers good drainage. Not sure how it would work such as in Texas where the soil is hard packed clay or caleche (sp).

I just went onto 'worlds best' website and they say that all of their corn-based clumping litters are flushable- both sewer and septic safe. NSF tested (whatever that means).

Hi - everything I can read online says it is safe for septic tanks. You might want to contact the manufacturer to confirm however.

I can't tell you if it is safe for septic tanks, but works good for cleaning out the roots in my 4 inch sewer pipe and keeps them clear. I use it once a year to keep my lines clear of roots.
