Product categories
The most useful septic-safe product list starts with where problems usually enter the system.
Use toilet paper that breaks down well. Keep wipes, paper towels, cotton products, and hygiene products out of the toilet.
Use strainers, remove hair and buildup physically when possible, and avoid making harsh chemical drain cleaners your first move.
Choose reasonable detergent amounts and spread loads out so the system is not hit with a large water rush all at once.
Use Maintane once a month as part of the routine, while keeping pump-outs and inspections on schedule.
