Does it state SEPTIC SAFE on the packaging? Thank you

Yes it does. Also, I've used this exact type for years and never had an issue with my septic.

I used it when I had septic and experienced no problems. This is the best cleanser ever.

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

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

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.

It seems to be. I don't remember seeing it written on the packaging but I am not having any problems with it. I wash it occasionally and is still like new I am very pleased with it. I do not have mildew in my house either.

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.

The direct answer to the question, is it safe, the answer is yes but it should not be used for septic systems. Star-Sans is a sanitizer used to kill bacteria or to "sanitize" items used for home brewing (beer). If used it will try to kill the bacteria in you septic which is the opposite of what you want. Use a product like "Rid-X" to promote bacterial growth. Plus this stuff is too expensive to flush down the drain!

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 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

Yes. It states on the side it is both septic and sewage safe.I have a septic tank and have been flushing this litter for about 2 years and haven't had a problem.

It doesn't say anything about septic systems on the back. We have a septic tank and I have used this product for several years with no damage to our septic tank.

Nope, I have a septic and I checked this too... On the bottle it says Septic Safe! I'll post a picture in a second.

It is safe to eat, so I would assume a septic system should be able to handle it

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

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.

I called Walex but did not wait for a call back. I emailed them right away too. This is their answer about Porta-Pak: Porta-Pak will not harm your septic system when being used by a single RV. It would take 100's of RV's dumping the product daily into the septic system before the septic culture would even notice the product is in it. The product gets so diluted in the holding tank there is nothing left of the product when dumped into a septic system. I do have a question/suggestion for you. If your RV was used I always recommend you filling the black holding tank as high as you can with fresh water and adding 1 Porta-Pak in the tank for 24 hours and let it clean the tank thoroughly before you use. This will give you the reassurance that the tank is free of any old ill effects and leave you free to enjoy your camping. This is also a good practice to do before winterizing, so that you prevent any foul odors sneaking up on you when you get ready to start camping again. Congrats on the new trailer. Enjoy your travels and be rest assured that you won't have to worry about the holding tank. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to call or write.
