Will ozonated water discharge water kill necessary bacteria in a septic system?

No, this is why farmers like to use it. Ozone turns back to water only very fast.

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

hi Julia, I personally don't drink the ozonated type water; however I am also not going to say i'm for or against drinking this type of water. I have spent time, money and practiced drinking "ionized water", it seems to be essentially going after the same outcome: reduce free radicals in the body. That part I'm wholeheartedly on board with. I did a YouTube search, sure enough, there is a good video on a guy making ozonated water. I've coped and pasted the link for you:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-bdhv4kCf8

Sorry, no. The water is discharged waste and all. It is a great tool though!

That's what I specify it for. The control box must be out of the weather but should not be in a septic pump chamber. The caustic gases will destroy the circuit board.

Absolutely not. This is a filter, not a water purification unit. Does not remove any bacteria.

Whereas ozonated water is unsafe for ingesting, the ozone leaves the water used in the bowl and therefore also on the produce about 2-3 minutes after completion of the cycle. You can safely eat any produce you've thoroughly drained and let sit even for a few minutes. There is a collander top for the bowl, just make sure you USE it and thoroughly DRAIN anything you've put into the device when the time is up. I've been using this product for years with no harmful effects.

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

I have a septic tank and have been using Method cleaner. There has not been a problem.

We have used Kaboom for approximately 5 years in our home and also in 9 weekly vacation rentals, all have septic systems. We have experienced no problems

I think the question should be " is it bad for septic tanks?'.....the answer is "no".....we are on a septic tank and we use this product every six months following a root obstruction a few yrs back.....it does not harm the septic system and we have been root free....RRR

I suspect this would be effective even if you are rushing 8500 gallons through this device at one sitting (the longer the water is in the chamber the more assured that the bacteria is being eliminated)... I vaguely remember reading that the UV needed roughly 10 seconds to kill the spores (and therefore determining the size of the inner chamber). You should be fine but why not use salt or chlorine in the pool?

Yes it kills mold spores. It is a high concentration ozone and should not be used in an occupied room as ozone is a lung and mucous membrane irritant. I believe the manual says to leave the room unoccupied for forty-five minutes after completion of ozone treatment. There is a smell of ozone that lingers for quite some time as in a couple of hours or so that some of my family finds annoying. After that time the air is quite fresh as the ozone converts back to oxygen. Even in our unfinished 150 year old brick and dirt floored basement feels fresh. It has drastically cut down on any mold problems in that space. Yes it kills mold spores.

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.

Yes you still have to balance the water chemistry.. this device only adds to low level chlorine sanitizing with another additional microorganism eliminator/reducer.
