Are these septic system safe? Or are they not to be flushed?

Do not flush, really even when wipes are called flushable, don't. But these do not pretend to be flushable. They are thicker than the average wipe.

One does wonder what you are expected to do with the used product if it is not flushable. Rather defeats the purpose.

No! We have had 3 clogged toilets on our septic system since we tried this TP out. Will go back to our other brand.

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.

The package says yes, but I don't have a septic tank so I have not tested this claim.

I don't have an official answer from the company but flushing a couple down with the waste should be fine. I would avoid dumping the entire box down the toilet. However the couple that get stuck should flush just fine according to reviews I read on a pet store web site. I avoid it all together because and just bag it we are on a new septic system and I have a picky husband:)

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

Probably not what you are looking for. These are for the third stage of an aerobic septic system, things are relatively clean by the 3rd stage compared to an outhouse, which is more like the first stage of a 3 stage septic system.

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

I don't have a septic system, but if Chlorox is okay for you, then that is all this is. The wands are just the delivery system. You don't flush anything but the solution that ends up in the toilet bowl--just as if you were scouring with a typical toilet brush.

I wash these with my cloth wipes in a mesh bag if they were only peed on (I flush the poop). I let them air dry and I get like 3 uses out of them. Food for thought though: If I can wash these in my washing machine several times and reuse them what are people talking about when they say to let it sit in their toilet bowl for a little bit to let them "break down"? I have a septic system and I was flushing these (for the last year and a half) without thinking about how that might not be a good idea- we're in need of septic work now and I don't know if it is related at all.

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

I don't think I would flush these, unless you were at one of those super powerful commercial toilets that would suck down a Mack truck. When we use them I just throw it in the trash when we are done instead of flushing it. I don't know how it would flush in Europe, but I suspect it wouldn't be much better there than in the US.

We don't have our own septic tank but have it connected with city so that might affect clogging but not sure. However I didn't flush them that often. I kept a tight small trash can with lid and would put them in there and empty often. And occasionally would flush a poopy one if I was upstairs away from that trash can. I maybe flushed maybe 3-5 a week and never noticed any clogging or septic problems. Hope that helps a little! Heard some people flush these with no problems. I didn't feel comfortable with that but in the end made the decision to put them in the trash because my toilets far away from my changing table :p We don't have our own septic tank but have it connected with city so that might affect clogging but not sure.

I just flush them with purified water and let them air dry but if you want to you can get cleaning tablets. Ive never had a problem with them though.

As far as I know no they are not. The are pretty thick and I wouldnt intentionally flush them. That being said, one has fallen in the toilet and I have flushed it.
