The Do's & Don'ts for septic systems
Have your system inspected
Have your septic system inspected by a qualified professional at least every three years - every year if your system has electrical components and have the tank pumped when necessary.
Use water efficiently
Excessive flows can overload the septic system, causing wastewater to back up into the house or yard. • Use the proper load size when washing clothes and avoid doing all the laundry in one day. • Do not empty your hot tub into the septic system. • Consider replacing older toilets and inefficient showerheads with more efficient models.
Do not flush materials that can clog your septic system
Such as diapers, cat litter, cigarette filters, coffee grounds, feminine hygiene products, cotton swabs, dental floss, and paper towels.
Do not pour toxic chemicals down the drain
Household chemicals, paints, gasoline, and pesticides can harm or kill the bacteria that digest and treat waste not to mention harming the environment.
Minimize (or eliminate) your garbage disposal use
Kitchen scraps significantly increase sludge and scum in your septic tank, requiring more frequent pumping. Compost these wastes instead.
