Will this work with a septic system? I wanted to train my kitten to use a toilet, but I don't want to mess anything up.

The packaging warns against flushing with a septic system... Even though I'm not on a septic system, I still try to avoid flushing the litter as much as possible

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

I use this and have a septic tank. It doesn't say either way on the packaging. You could call Charlie ' s directly and ask. I don't see how it would be different than any other cleaning product for affecting your septic.

Yes, as all siphons work as long as the out pouring tube (curly tube) is lower than the input tube (straight tube) gravity should make it work once you get the flow going. Put a 5 gallon bucket next to the toilet, keep and maintain the out pouring curly tube down at the bottom of the bucket. I would not want to do it with very dirty water, and then you have to clean out this little pump before storing back in the closet.

I'm sorry to say, I don't know about its effect on the kind of plastic your tank is made of. If it's PVC like the pipes that are used in plumbing today, it would be an easy test to make. As for septic tank natural action, I use the Fuller Brush bathroom cleaner no more than once a month and I've noticed no problems with my septic tank. ~Kathy

not I, but I'd guess it'd work. sprinkle a little kitty litter in it to help the conversion. (if the kitty is used to litter) Otherwise train it like you would with litter. Litter is far less expensive though.

Although I am not using a septic system, I would presume it is safe as the ingredients are pretty eco friendly. Contacting C&D; directly would confirm this. It is far superior to the drop ins as it does not wear out the internal fixtures inside the toilet. Good luck

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.

I see no reason why it would be an issue for septic tanks. It is only magnets and simply balances the minerals out so they don't deposit on your toilet.

One packet in one toilet should suffice. Exception is if you have two separate septic systems with a toilet going to each. Then one packet per septic system.

Think liquified poop. You will need to flush the toilet manually. I didn't like this idea, so I managed to get the waste pipe hooked up to the sink drain under the bathroom sink similar to how a dishwasher drains into the waste pipe under a kitchen sink. I installed it downstream of the sink trap so that none of the odor from the Cat Genie waste would come back out of the sink.

My septic guy said yes when I asked him. I've been using it for over a year and no problems!

Yes! It's the only product that I've found to work on my system. Check out a video on their website that says can use on septic, except in Florida....which I imagine is because FL is one giant swamp. http://www.roebic.com/videos.shtml#root-killer

No, I would suggest at least a five gallon vac. When the water level reaches a certain level in the vac it will sometimes squirt out the exhaust before it stops. If the toilet will flush, pour a 5 gallon pail of water into the toilet to forch water out without it refilling and that will lessen the amount of water in the bowl. If that works should be able to get by with a 1.5 gallon vac.

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!!

I don't know, as I had installed at a country home with a septic and that was not an option. However, my son who is my contractor and installer, he should be able to tell me so I will ask and get back to you.

It says it works in the "Kaboom Scrub Free Continuous Toilet Cleaning System". The "Never Scrub was, I think, an older one that used "Cartridges" of cleaning "rocks" This won't work with that one. You need a whole new container to use these - the "full" new system with hoses etc.

I have a septic and I use them. Doesn't seem to bother it! Now I don't have one of the newer ones (airiation system) but it shouldn't matter.
