I have a septic system and green pig works great on it. I was having some overflow on my lines and it cleared that up. I also use a septic safe(northern) toilet paper. I had been using Rid-X, but now I am a green pig believer.J. KingJ. King

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 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.

The packaging warns against flushing with a septic system... Even though I'm not on a septic system, I still try to avoid flushing the litter as much as possible

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.

Yes - my parents used this for 3 years and perfectly safe for septics or city sewer systems. Good product, I like it better than the 10 lb box of granules,so much easier to use and store.

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.

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 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.
