[TroyBoy30]

this might be a stupid question and i might just be over thinking it, but what the hell

i used these are my old place and loved them. keeps the bowl clean and doesn't damage the internal toilet parts. that was on city sewer though

the long-winded question is it ok to use both?

the less chemicals added to a septic system the better... keeping a toilet bowl clean isn't rocket science...

Obviously you haven't gone into a bathroom after someone ejects the previous nights binge of mexican food and Guinness, and morning's mix of hard boiled eggs and 3 cups of black coffee!

You are not supposed to put a lot of stuff in a septic system but I have a neighbor that puts everything made in his plus stuff from a garbage disposal. Ten years and no problems. Go figure!

Had a old gentleman that pumped septic tanks tell me years ago. Instead of buying the more expensive septic stuff use plain old yeast. Been doing that for 30+years now

The more "stuff" that goes down there, the more frequently it needs to be pumped. Test your TP in a jar. Couple squares, fill half full of water, put the lid on and shake. The TP should dissolve. If not, change brands.

RE: cleaners, minimize bleach usage. But I do still use bleach infrequently as needed. Just don't overdo it. I do add bacteria from time to time, usually several days after I've been on a cleaning spree.

This is what I use:

Because quite honestly, pumping the tank is cheap ($500) compared to replacing a drain field ($thousands).

The above is the most important statement

This. Pump your tank every 5yrs

I think if you limit the bleach and just use the disposal for veggies, the bacteria does the rest. Most everything that goes down there has bacteria to make it work. It’s fermentation. Have not had mine pumped for 15 years and I check it twice per year. Mostly liquid as should be.
