Are septic tank additives safe to use?
There are currently over 1,000 different septic additives on the market, but please save your money for routine septic system maintenance. No additive in the world is going to replace the need for regular septic inspections every four years. It is important to understand that everything that goes down every sink, shower, toilet, and even the washing machine in your house goes directly into your septic system. What are the symptoms of water-borne illnesses? Water-borne illness is always a concern, especially after heavy rains or flooding which churns up organic and inorganic materials from the bottom. Symptoms can range from fever and malaise to gastrointestinal such as diarrhea and stomach aches. Infants and the elderly are the most likely to be affected by water-borne illness, and although rare it can be deadly. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE YOUR PRIVATE WELL TESTED ONCE A YEAR.
