It doesn't say that you can't use it in the Celtic, but I would think there at better products for the ceptic than this.

zi don;'t know. I didn't check the labell, since I am on a sewer system. Try to e-mail the manufacturer.

As best I know, it is. I must say, however, the product did not end our battle w/ Drain Flies. I'd have to recommend another product, if you can find one that works.

Yes. It is septic safe. I was actually told to add a 1/4 cup to our water softner system about every 3 months to help keep pipes clear of iron build up.

Just throw the whole thing in the garbage! The water has passed through many chemicals. I know it will kill plants; I don't know what effects it might have on your septic system.

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.

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.

My main answer is I don't know. But, I have a strong suspicion that it would be safe. Because it's biodegradable, it will break down easily. The info I was able to find about this matter also said it was safe. It's just hard to know for certain. If I were you, I would definitely use it with a septic system but, again, I'm not 100% certain. Hope that helps!!

I am sorry, but as I am not on a septic system I cannot answer this. I would recommend you contact the manufacturer directly.

Has anyone used this that has a septic system? Does it harm your septic at all?

No. As long as you run some water in the septic tank after you put the waste in. It is capped off so its not open. You will smell an odor every time you open the cap as you are opening your septic tank but it is not there all the time.

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."

Yes, totally safe. We have had a larger home unit for years. It is designed to kill germs and purify the air.

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

I can't tell you if it is safe for septic tanks, but works good for cleaning out the roots in my 4 inch sewer pipe and keeps them clear. I use it once a year to keep my lines clear of roots.

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

I have a conventional septic system. Had it opened for pumping 4/28. Looked good. Guy doing he pumping gave it a good report. I use the green pig stuff quarterly. That was the 1st pumping in 4 1/2 years. Our system is a 900 gal tank that flows to a distribution box that channels the fluid to the drain field.

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.
