Re: [A/S] Septic Systems

Hi Jim,

What you have is a holding tank, not a septic system.  A septic system 
has a tank and lines of perforated pipe that run out into a leach field.
In this tank, bacteriological action works on the solids and breaks them 
down, the liquid goes out into the leach field and is filtered by gravel 
  that's deep enough to clean it before it reaches the underground water 
level. In 35 years, I never fed my septic system anything except a 
normal diet and all was fine. Pumped  the settling tank out once a year.

In a holding tank, you are just filling it up, so you have even less 
need to feed it. And the RV tank destinker stuff won't hurt anything either.
