Yes. I have three bathrooms, on a septic system and have been using the product for at least two years.

I don't have a septic system, but if Chlorox is okay for you, then that is all this is. The wands are just the delivery system. You don't flush anything but the solution that ends up in the toilet bowl--just as if you were scouring with a typical toilet brush.

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 also if you have used a lint filter before you see that it collects a lot of lint this will save your sump pump from clogging up and maybe your pipes it may not hurt your tank but i would worry more about your pump

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.

Bella, I will try to answer but from memory I don't think this is safe in a spetic system. You would be best served to call the manufacture on this one. Likewise you could try and Google the question but spetic systems have to have the right flora or bacteria present to break down the sewage, harsh chemicals that could effect this flora could cause lots of problems IMHO.

Even though the box does not state whether it is or not, I have never had a problem with it. I have had septic systems for the last 30 years.

I would not think this would be something you would use this for. Unit is very small and I recall you need to hold this device very close (a few inches away) from area being sanitized.

I would think so, it just goes into your septic. Whatever you would normally flush would be good to go.

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.

I have had excellent results with Green Pig Solution, and I deposit one packet in one of my four toilets every three months. The solution keeps your septic in good condition----not your toilet. Hope I've been of some help.

The manufacturer claims it is septic safe right on the box. Our septic service says it is safe since the amount of chlorine/bromine that toilet tablets introduce into a septic cistern is minimal (toilet water is typically 10%-15% of the water put into a cistern, so it is strongly diluted). Finally, I have seen a scientific paper where they actually tested the effect that typical toilet tablets have on the bacteria in septic systems (chlorine type, bromine should be similar since it has a similar biological mechanism), and it was found that there was no discernible difference from the "control" systems (getting the exact same sewage).

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