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

I am not 100% sure but the composition is earth friendly and it may be better than some with harsh phosphates. I regard it as Eco friendly

Totally. It's a fine clay litter formulated to be flushed. Just follow the directions for flushing it (not safe for septic tanks).

Iam on a septic system and have not noticed any problems. My system was pumped out just a few months ago and the company said everything looked fine. I only use these 1 or 2 at a time in my automatic toilet cleaning system and they last for months so I'm not dumping a lot into the septic tank anyway. The container does not specifically mention septic systems as far as I can tell.

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

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

Yes, look for the Safe for septic tank logo on Ecover product to check for septic tank safety. All of their products are completely biodegradable. :)

I only put the cleaner in the toilet tank. In that way, I could observe the cleanliness of the tank. It is composed of magnets. It is chemical free. The septic system should not be affected. However, I am not a plumber.

What result are you hoping to achieve with the use of the product? I purchased it to clean my shower and it didn't do as good a job as Clean Shower from Arm & Hammer and that costs around $2. Don't get me wrong, each of them required a considerable amount of scrubbing, but Clean Shower produced better results. I used the ROG with bare hands and it did't affect my skin, so I would assume it's safe for your septic system. If you'd like, I can check the container when I get home.

Absolutely not septic safe! We almost lost our septic system to failure because of these tablets!

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.

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!

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 wrote to Downy at the contact email and just received this reply:"All of our laundry detergents have been thoroughly evaluated and are safe to use in homes with a properly functioning septic system. We know it's important for our consumers to be able to take care of their homes and the environment, too. For more information about cleaning products and septic systems, visit the American Cleaning Institute web site (search on "septic"). I hope this information helps."
