I have a septic system and don't want to kill bacteria when cleaning toilets or doing wash. Will this kill bacteria?

I googled this question, and the answer is that it is safe when used as directed.

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 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.

I can only reply to your question by my own experience. My house is on well and septic. The hard water stains were just awful. Since using Never Scrub, the toilet brush is only used occasionally, and I never have to scrub. I have not had a problem with the rubber components in the tank in the four years I've been using Never Scrub. Hope this helps.David J.

J. Kay - I don't have a septic system, but my parents do and they use these with no problems. I think the main feature is that the chunks of soap nuts don't go in the system, just the soapy water (like any other detergent stuff). I usually tie the drawstring on the little bag in a knot and since the soap nuts are generally whole from this company (only sliced open to get the seed out), not much (if anything) comes out during the wash. I'm no expert in septic systems, but I would think that, if anything, these would be better for a septic system than more caustic detergents (even the "natural" ones). If you don't have an official answer yet and are still curious, (or others who read this are) the company (NaturOli) has been really responsive to my own inquiries, so maybe reaching out to them would be more helpful. Good Luck!

Hi - everything I can read online says it is safe for septic tanks. You might want to contact the manufacturer to confirm however.

i also have a septic system but have always had a garbage disposal. nothing special attached to this. i have lived in my home for 10 years and have had no issues with my septic tank. you can pour the same solution down your toilet once a month and get the same result.

YES. But, you will want to avoid anything that will kill beneficial bacteria, such as H2O2 and Enzyme's

You can put a small bag in your toilet resivoir if you have a septic tank it will help speed up the bacteria to eliminate the mass inside.

No. Septic systems treat much more than just sewage. The chemicals found in detergent and other substances will breakdown the materials that were used to create this pump and probably void the warranty. Your best bet is calling up Liberty and asking. I design sewage systems by the way.

No it does not kill germs. Forgive my correction but neither does normal dish soap or hand soap. Soap/detergent with antimicrobial action will almost always have some kind of antimicrobial ingredient such as triclosan or chlorhexadine etc... Some "all natural" ingredients exist with antimicrobial actions. Be forewarned though that there is some good evidence that triclosan has endocrine-disrupting properties and in all actuality it is best to avoid it. In addition, the everyday use of "antibacterial" soaps has led to bacteria that are resistant TO these chemicals. Any healthcare pro, microbiologist etc...worth their salt would recommend using regular soap and warm water. REMOVAL of germs is the best strategy. For surfaces, there's no substitute for good ole bleach diluted to proper strength. All that written, I REALLY like Dr. Bronner's! Use these soaps almost exclusively. GREAT company; honest, doing right, natural products, good products etc... And they smell great too. Hope this helps.

Absolutely not. This is a filter, not a water purification unit. Does not remove any bacteria.

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.http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B0047528HM/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index;=0

I use it at night in the furthest toilet from the tank so that it has time to work on the main line to the septic tank. I hope this helps you.

Foot soaks are wonderful. The pours on your feet can release a multitude of toxins. Most of us in houses don't want it draining into our septic systems either. I use the foot soaks. Enjoy!!!

No, it won't! Remember this is the exact thing your septic was designed for. I would be sure that you are putting just waste in there - no stray sticks or grass or such.
