tank systems
Looking for
information about septic tanks?
The internet offers an expansive array of
knowledge about septic tanks. The below information is compliments of:

Use: Avoid septic tank cleaners
containing organic solvents. If you are using a septic tank cleaner that
contains lye products or sodium bisulfate, wear gloves, goggles, and a
respirator with an organic vapor cartridge to avoid fumes and splashes.
Storage: Store out of the reach of children. If the cleaner is in a
glass jar, store it inside a plastic container and clearly label the
outside of the container with the contents. Store on a high shelf or in
a locked cabinet.
Disposal: Unless the septic tank cleaner is an organic solvent, small
amounts of the septic tank cleaner can be flushed down the drain with
plenty of water. Organic solvents should be carefully stored until you
can dispose of them through a licensed hazardous waste handler or
through a professional household hazardous waste collection.
Alternatives: Take preventative measures. Avoid putting items down your
sink or toilet that bacteria cannot digest or that disrupt their
environment. Indigestible items include grease, fat, hair, cigar and
cigarette butts, filters, facial tissues, paper towels, napkins,
sanitary napkins, and Band-Aids.
