Be Careful Of What Goes Into The Septic Tank

Don’t put anything down the drain that is not designed to be. Make sure that anything that goes in the toilet will not clog any part of the septic system. Try not to use large amounts of chemicals that are consider toxic, or poisonous. Labels can help key you into the potential toxicity of various products. The word “Danger” or “Poison” on a label indicates that the product is highly hazardous. “Warning” tells you the product is moderately hazardous. “Caution” means the product is slightly hazardous. (“Nontoxic” and “Septic Safe” are terms created by advertisers to sell products.)
