Question 1

family uses way 2 much toilet paper will this break it down fast enough we get our septic pumped about 2x every 3 years

Accepted Answer

I cannot "go" (yes, lousy pun) with 1 ply toilet tissue & the idea of throwing used tissue in a trash can next to the commode stinks! (sorry, am on a "roll"). But the idea of having septic pumped every couple months sounds right, although I hope when pumped clear the 2-bit new, tiny plastic septic installed to replace my much larger concrete septic (crushed by idiot caterpillar driver) is not pumped into a baloon. Would hate to be around if it pops. Also I now have 1 short leach field instead of 3 long ones, so it is good to know Amazon lists leach field products. Have not seen those in stores. So if you have one of those new tiny plastic septics with limited leach field length it seems imperative to make in-home changes while regularly treating septic & leach fields. But I do have to use washer daily (pets) - what detergent is safest? Adding baking soda, oxy, borax to wash is cheap, effective. Will cut down on bleach, shampoo, etc. if that is a factor. Will start using lye if safe to remove grease. Lots of choices listed on Amazon - thanks for comparing prices as well as listing reviews. Those reviews help if they contain personal experience with product. Make sure a product with all stars is not based on only 1 review - might be from manufacturer's mother-in-law. I must opt for cheaper products - Amazon offers comparisons among wide range of prices. But why is buying smaller amount often cheaper? Must be promotional. Finally, "Passionate Reader" uses Murphy's oil soap & vinegar "for stuff." Please clarify "stuff." I read where vinegar can substitute for fabric softener(?). Finally, does putting coffee grounds down drain actually help keep drains clear? Thanks, "ProBacteria"

Question 2

Do i use this in place of rid-x, or would i use both?

Accepted Answer

I only use the septic shock when there is a problem with my septic backing up. For regular maintenance I use the Rid- x.

Question 3

Do you add this to the toilet or the actual tank?

Accepted Answer

The directions state you add this to the toilet.

Question 4

can this be used on non septic pipes and drains

Accepted Answer

I would suppose so since you flush it down the toilet. Of course you wouldn't use it for  sources of potable water. It is bacterial, not caustic.
