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

I'm not really sure but i would say no. It is used to eat the waste in your septic with the bacteria in it.

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 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.

My wastewater is divided into two systems septic (toilet) and greywater (everything but toilet). The Robic label for K37 says to use twice yearly. I'd rather stay on the side of caution so I use K37 in my septic system every 2-3 months and their K87 (Soap Digester) in my greywater system every 2-3 months as well. I figure a few bucks a month is worth it if it avoids thousands in a new septic system. If you only have one combined system I'd recommend using the Soap Digester occasionally in addition to the K37.

I don't have a septic tank as I live in a high-rise. Haven't had any problems flushing wipes down toilet.

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.

You would have to ask the company. I use Rid-X because the people who pump our septic tank told us to. I do prefer the liquid over the powder but the powder is cheaper. Sorry I couldn't help you more.

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.

I am using it to keep water overnight for several months already, no issue noticed so I assume it is safe :)

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.
