Does this say that it is safe for septic systems on the back?

I used it when I had septic and experienced no problems. This is the best cleanser ever.

It doesn't say anything about septic systems on the back. We have a septic tank and I have used this product for several years with no damage to our septic tank.

Any product that chemically removes rust will contain a strong acid which will kill the bacteria in your septic tank. The product called the works which I am familiar with contains 20% hydrochloric acid. Perhaps if it does not kill all of the bacteria you will not experience problems.

Yes it can. I'm on septic and my plumber recommends using a product such as this to keep our toilet tank operating properly. I have used it twice and have no problems.

I am sorry, but as I am not on a septic system I cannot answer this. I would recommend you contact the manufacturer directly.

I have a septic and I use them. Doesn't seem to bother it! Now I don't have one of the newer ones (airiation system) but it shouldn't matter.

Although I am not using a septic system, I would presume it is safe as the ingredients are pretty eco friendly. Contacting C&D; directly would confirm this. It is far superior to the drop ins as it does not wear out the internal fixtures inside the toilet. Good luck

I have had excellent results with Green Pig Solution, and I deposit one packet in one of my four toilets every three months. The solution keeps your septic in good condition----not your toilet. Hope I've been of some help.

I wrote to Downy at the contact email and just received this reply:"All of our laundry detergents have been thoroughly evaluated and are safe to use in homes with a properly functioning septic system. We know it's important for our consumers to be able to take care of their homes and the environment, too. For more information about cleaning products and septic systems, visit the American Cleaning Institute web site (search on "septic"). I hope this information helps."

I see no reason why it would be an issue for septic tanks. It is only magnets and simply balances the minerals out so they don't deposit on your toilet.

Yes it is. We have a septic tank system, and I've used this product for years. No problems.

Yes, totally safe. We have had a larger home unit for years. It is designed to kill germs and purify the air.

I have used this product for many years in two houses that have septic system and have had no problem. The amount of chlorine put into the system is so small that it will not upset the balance of bacteria in the septic tank.

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.

this sink is very good quality. There is a drain in each side, I don't know about the septic tank, I have standard plumbing.

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).

I checked their website and it says, "Yes. Dishwasher Magic will not harm septic systems, plumbing, or the appliance in any way."
