Is this product safe for septic tanks, will it kill the needed bacteria for solid breakdown?

Yes! You actually just use a couple of sprays. It is made from natural things such as white flowers. We live on a farm with an old system and there is no concern. I love this product.

From their web site "Microbe-Lift's 100% fully matured anaerobic bacteria goes to work in situations where there is no air present (your septic system). It is harmless to man, animal, and plant life, and is 100% safe to groundwater."No harm should come to your PVC piping.

We don't have a septic system, so I cannot answer your question.Check with your contractor. Good luck.

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.

You can put most anything liquid down a septic tank without incidence if the toilet is being used regularly. Every time a #2 goes down, you are contributing more bacteria to the mix. The amount of liquid in a septic tank dilutes virtually all strong chemicals. Since it is an acid, I suspect that it would help to liquify the solids within the tank.

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

If you go by ppl who clean out septic systems for a living, they say no. However, like a reg system, the product works to reintroduce bacterial elements back into a stalled system. Since both aerobic septic system and anaerobic septic systems work with breaking down waste by bacterial decomposition, I do not see it having a detrimental effect.

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.

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.

Michael:Per your question about what this will do to a septic system. Oh Yuk's dose is very well planned out with lab testing and field testing so the product is the correct strength. Not to strong, not to weak, so there shouldn't be much that gets into the septic system. Plus, if there is any active chemical remaining, the contaminants in the septic system would overwhelm and neutralize the chemical. With this said, this should not have any impact on the septic system.

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 really couldn't say one way or the other because I do have a septic system. If the Rid-X seems to help then Green Pig could possibly help even more because it has twice as much bacteria.

The Bleach cleaner is not safe for septic tanks. It would be our recommendation to use Bio-Balance (model 8202) Septic Cleaner or Original Blue Formulas as these have no chemicals that will harm the enzymes that are needed for your Septic system.

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

My parents have used it for years & they have a septic tank system. We've been using it with our system also, we are very happy with this product. No pipe, drain field, or tank damage. We've had no down sides to this product

Yes, right on the package it says: Safe for septic systems. On the front of the container it says" Safe on septics and pipes.
