Is this exclusively for private septic systems, or amenable for use with municipal service? Thanks!!

I have it hooked into a municipal sewer system. If you are concerned, check with your local service agencies if there is any local regulations. We really like the system. Was very easy to hook up to the clean out to the drain system

If your house has an outside drain clean out it will work. Mine is attached to the city sewer, and they actually prefer it be flushed vs sent to the land fill.

Ours is hooked up to a sewer clean out that connects with municiple service. Our clean out opening is in (to my mind) too public of a space (next to my kitchen door), but when we needed a new sewer line a few years back, we had to go with the path with the fewest obstacles. Our sewer line goes to a pumping station located further out in our yard then gets pumped (think GINORMOUS sump system) up to the city sewer line running behind our house. That pump is why I do not put poop that has gathered rocks or sticks. This product is wonderful and if I could improve it, I would make the lid handle longer for even easier use. Hope this helps!

All the waste will go into the same system and be processed the same. If you had 10 people living in one house, or 5 people and 2 dogs....I don't see how it really would make much if any difference with regards in a municipal system.

I do not know if municipal sewer lines have clean-out drains. Contact your city utility office for information regarding your local sewer system. The product is a simple plastic funnel with a choice of two different size thread attachments to screw into a clean-out drain. The funnel has a lid that twists down into the funnel to seal it. I can drop the doggy waste directly into the clean-out drain that leads to my private septic tank. My alternative would be to take the droppings indoors and flush them down the toilet, which would be a mess. Good luck!

I don't have a septic tank. A friend of mine had a septic tank and used this and there were never any problems with it.

Sorry but we are on our own septic tank hence. Can't use a disposer so don't. Have an answer

i also have a septic system but have always had a garbage disposal. nothing special attached to this. i have lived in my home for 10 years and have had no issues with my septic tank. you can pour the same solution down your toilet once a month and get the same result.

Depends on how good you are at plumbing. It can be hooked into any supply and discharge lines but by your question, I suggest doing a lot more research on reverse osmosis systems about issues like out put and waste. Good luck, it is a good price but you need to supply your own storage tank and spigot

Be careful. You could end up with a face full of raw sewage. Works well if connections are correct. Good luck

yes, you can use the sewer solution if the hose or extension will reach. You can add several lengths of PVC pip to the sewer hose to reach a sewer connection, toilet, septic tank etc. The unit will pump up hill or down hill, 100 feet. I do have a problem with both of my units, i have two trailers the water hose connects to the unit. Works excellent as stated by the mfg. would recommend to every one.

Michael that's a good question and I 'm not sure. I don't have septic system.

You need to have your water checked, sometimes, depending on the quality of the water (well water for example), you might need a softener or purifier. Most municipal water won't need these extras. You will also need a venting system if the unit is inside.

It works with both sewer and septic tanks.. All homes should have some kind of white pvc pipe that runs to the sewer. (Sometimes you have them in the front yard.. My first house had in the back.. but my new home has it in the front.) You would screw it that location.

My wastewater is divided into two systems septic (toilet) and greywater (everything but toilet). The Robic label for K37 says to use twice yearly. I'd rather stay on the side of caution so I use K37 in my septic system every 2-3 months and their K87 (Soap Digester) in my greywater system every 2-3 months as well. I figure a few bucks a month is worth it if it avoids thousands in a new septic system. If you only have one combined system I'd recommend using the Soap Digester occasionally in addition to the K37.

Iam on a septic system and have not noticed any problems. My system was pumped out just a few months ago and the company said everything looked fine. I only use these 1 or 2 at a time in my automatic toilet cleaning system and they last for months so I'm not dumping a lot into the septic tank anyway. The container does not specifically mention septic systems as far as I can tell.

I have a conventional septic system. Had it opened for pumping 4/28. Looked good. Guy doing he pumping gave it a good report. I use the green pig stuff quarterly. That was the 1st pumping in 4 1/2 years. Our system is a 900 gal tank that flows to a distribution box that channels the fluid to the drain field.

It is the size of septic tank, not number of bathrooms. Mine is 1,000 gallons, works great! Use as directed, you're OK

It is not recommended for septic systems. Florida has banned it specifically for that. But... Roebic does make a septic safe root killer, that I think is called K77. It is advertised specifically for main line and septic systems.

I used it nothing happened. the septic guy said useless. our lines needed replacing after 20 yrs. he was right.

The manufacturer claims it is septic safe right on the box. Our septic service says it is safe since the amount of chlorine/bromine that toilet tablets introduce into a septic cistern is minimal (toilet water is typically 10%-15% of the water put into a cistern, so it is strongly diluted). Finally, I have seen a scientific paper where they actually tested the effect that typical toilet tablets have on the bacteria in septic systems (chlorine type, bromine should be similar since it has a similar biological mechanism), and it was found that there was no discernible difference from the "control" systems (getting the exact same sewage).
