Septic Systems Problems
Sea salt is bad for the septic system?
I wanted to dive into a bath with sea salts, but I wondered if it would be bad for the system septic, we had some problems in the past with our septic system, so try to be careful.
Salt water will not harm plumbing pipes in any way. However, it might kill some bacteria. If you usually add an X box delivered to the system, which will help replenish bacteria in your septic tank can be short. A typical picture as much as a tank of 1500, larger than most people own. And you need not worry having many bacteria … to "eat" the waste solids in the tank …. Too many simply die off.

Septic Systems Problems
Anyone familiar with septic systems?
The idea of having a septic system is somewhat worrisome for someone who has never experienced a septic system before. I’ve always had city/public sewer. Areas I’d like to move to all seem to have septic as they are more rural and have less population. Anyone out there has experience with septic? Have they broken down? What’s the best way to maintain them? What are the pros and cons of septic? I’ve heard of diverting shower and washing machine water to a different area and then using the septic tank only for toilet use….?
A septic system is the major factor holding me back from relocation; I’m basically afraid of having tons of problems because of a septic system. Any advice? Thank you!
They really aren’t that big a deal. You should be more careful what you put down the drains, because septic systems need bacteria to work, so you shouldn’t put too many things that will kill bacteria. Avoiding anti-bacterial soaps is a good idea. You should try not to rinse too much paint down them. Never ever put things like tampons down them, or anything that bacteria can’t break down. But you can use washers and dishwashers just like anyone does with the same products.
The more careful you are, the less maintenance a septic system will need.
If you are putting in an offer on a house with a septic system, you can make it conditional on having the system inspected and assessed by a qualified pro. If it’s not in good shape, then you negotiate with the buyer the same way you do if the roof only has 2 years left before it needs work.
The major con is that if it ever does break down and need repair or replacement, that can be a major expense. On the other hand, you don’t pay every single year as you do for sewer services if you have them. It probably comes out pretty similar in the long run for costs.
Sometimes you can send grey water to a separate system, sometimes not. Rules are tightening up and it used to be possible to do that but not any more in many areas.
I’ve been on a septic system for almost 20 years now. I hardly ever give it a thought and have had no problems.
