Yes it can. I'm on septic and my plumber recommends using a product such as this to keep our toilet tank operating properly. I have used it twice and have no problems.

I think the question should be " is it bad for septic tanks?'.....the answer is "no".....we are on a septic tank and we use this product every six months following a root obstruction a few yrs back.....it does not harm the septic system and we have been root free....RRR

Read just this week that the CDC states that no water suspected of chemical contamination should be considered safe for drinking regardless of purification means. I realize this may not help in certain locations, but I thougt I would throw it out there.

Just throw the whole thing in the garbage! The water has passed through many chemicals. I know it will kill plants; I don't know what effects it might have on your septic system.

I believe the active ingredient is sulfonic acid. It is environmentally safe and will not hard septic systems.

I do not know. I haven't opened up my septic tank since I put the filter in; but to my knowledge, we have had no problems.

Other "septic safe" powders used to clog our constantly clog our septic system. Since we switched to Charlie's soap we have had much less cloging issues with the septic. I would say about 3/4 less septic issues. Also I do believe the regular size can is labeled septic safe. Additionally, this soap leaves our front loader free of that disgusting film left behind by other leading brands.

I use water from the tap and have had no problems with it. I've had it for a while now and still love it as much as when I first got it.

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!!

Mesia Sue is right. The Septic Waist Removal Technician recommended the same thing. Destruction on the bottle says the same thing. Safe to put down all drains.

I use tap water not purified and have not had any trouble. I do clean the filters pretty regularly if its running a lot.

Yes - my parents used this for 3 years and perfectly safe for septics or city sewer systems. Good product, I like it better than the 10 lb box of granules,so much easier to use and store.

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.

My parents have used it for years & they have a septic tank system. We've been using it with our system also, we are very happy with this product. No pipe, drain field, or tank damage. We've had no down sides to this product
