do you ever flush the pellets? would that be bad for our pipes?

Never thought of it. First impression is that it wouldn't be a sensible idea. The pellets last so long that changing them isn't a problem, and they don't hold odor.

No, they don't really dissolve and I would be afraid of clogging the system. but since I scoop out the solid waste every day and their pee goes right thru onto the pad, I only have to change all the pellets once a month. I have two cats so if you only have 1 you could probably change them a little less often. Hope that helps.

Not sure if it's okay to do this but personally, I would not flush them - would not want to take the chance

We add pellets as needed. The pellets don't retain the odor, but we do start with fresh pellets after 4 wks. or so.

Totally. It's a fine clay litter formulated to be flushed. Just follow the directions for flushing it (not safe for septic tanks).

I just add more pellets as they get low. And then clean the whole box once a month. Wash it out and dry it & then use all new pellets and start over. I don't notice any odor from the pellets themselves & I think that's because of what they are made of. But honestly haven't held any up to my nose. The odor I notice is when I need to change the pad and I do that every couple of days.

Yes. As many times as you want. Just buy replacement pellets, there are several different sizes, make sure you get correct size

Yes They should be flushed, look on You tube and there are videos showing it, very easy. Also it depends on the length of the run, it may take a few min to get the hot water though the pipes. There is a recirculation feature which keeps the water in the loop hot so it is ready right away.

I use ROEBIC K-67 in my drains. Green Pig goes down the toilet. Both are suppose to be bacterial.

No, you will damage the cartridge that holds the BB. The barrel on this is a smooth bore/diameter for BBs so their would be no benefit as pellets would not perform well and have unpredictable behavior make it a dangers practice.

Hi -- I don;t know why they removed that notice from the bag but every plumber I have asked tells me to never flush litter down the pipes -- we have septic & it may be safe for the septic but the litter gets clogged up in the household pipes & creates trouble before it gets out TO the septic tank/sewer line. Maybe people told the WBCL that they had had trouble even tho the litter bag said it was safe to flush so they decided to not use that anymore?

Actually I'ts not bad. Yes I do rinse it and plunge in the clean water after the clog is gone. This is less work than a toilet snake and works better than a standard plunger.

I have not tried washing the pellets, but I would be interested in the results if you do pursue this.

I never flushed this litter. I have old sewer pipes I was afraid to try and it clog my pipes

I agree w/ the other reviewer. I have two cats, and we change the pad 1x/wk, and probably change the pellets every 1-2m. Not a problem.

No! We have had 3 clogged toilets on our septic system since we tried this TP out. Will go back to our other brand.

I have had no issues at all with these. I do not recommend flushing more than one at a time to be on the safe side.

As I understand it, no; on arrival, one soaks the unit over night to saturate the pellets. Either a) the cartridge has been exposed to water or b) the pellets are hygroscopic (water gathering) and have wet themselves, so to speak. This might be worth running by the company for sure; I have found them responsive.
