Bacteria Must Be Present!
There MUST be bacteria in your septic tank so that organic solids in the tank can be broken down and digested. Normal household waste usually provides enough bacteria to digest the solids UNLESS any harm is done to the bacteria. Bacteria are very sensitive to environmental changes. Check the labels on products you use in the house; products carrying the harsh warning "HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED" are most likely harmful to bacteria as well.
Homecare Products Can Negatively Affect Bacterial Levels
The following commonly-used homecare products can reduce the bacteria population required for proper septic tank operation, EVEN WHEN USED ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTIONS:
About Septic Tank Scum
Bacteria must be present to digest the scum. If not digested, the scum will accumulate until it overflows and clogs the soil absorption area. The sludge in the septic tank - inorganic and inert material - is not biodegradable and will not decompose. If it is not removed, the sludge will also accumulate until it eventually overflows and clogs the soil absorption area.
