I'm on city septic but we are responsible for the main line from the house to the road, would this be good to keep the main line clean?

Rid X's purpose mainly is to promote the dissolving and destroying waste held in a septic tank, so will be able to run-off in the drain lines. I don't think it was intended to un-clog drain lines in your set up.

No, this is designed to sit in the septic tank to break down the tank, waste should not be clogging up your main line, if that is happening you need to have the line flushed or rooted. THis product will not do either.

city septic? sewer maybe.... rid x wont work here, usually its roots that clog that part.

I use it at night in the furthest toilet from the tank so that it has time to work on the main line to the septic tank. I hope this helps you.

It has to be at rest like a septic tank at night to work. It will more than likely just wash out to the cities system

Has anyone used this that has a septic system? Does it harm your septic at all?

Yes. I have three bathrooms, on a septic system and have been using the product for at least two years.

This is used to breakdown septic waste and since you just pumped your system I don't think that this will help with your problem. It sounds like you are having issues with sewer (septic) gases that can be caused by plumbing issues such as a damaged trap, plugged vent or a damaged drain line. I would call the septic company that did the pumping or a plumber to see what they say.

I would recommend using the liners...trying to dump it out and clean it up would be extremely messy

One packet in one toilet should suffice. Exception is if you have two separate septic systems with a toilet going to each. Then one packet per septic system.

I don't have an official answer from the company but flushing a couple down with the waste should be fine. I would avoid dumping the entire box down the toilet. However the couple that get stuck should flush just fine according to reviews I read on a pet store web site. I avoid it all together because and just bag it we are on a new septic system and I have a picky husband:)

Probably not what you are looking for. These are for the third stage of an aerobic septic system, things are relatively clean by the 3rd stage compared to an outhouse, which is more like the first stage of a 3 stage septic system.

Yes. Always do the lower level first, and allow the next day's outflow to carry whatever got loosened up out of the pipes. Then do the upstrairs the next night. I think it is best to do these right before you climb into bed. That way, you know the bacteria have the longest possible time to work before they are flushed away by dishwashing, toothbrushing, etc.

Nope, I have a septic and I checked this too... On the bottle it says Septic Safe! I'll post a picture in a second.http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B0047528HM/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index;=0

We don't have our own septic tank but have it connected with city so that might affect clogging but not sure. However I didn't flush them that often. I kept a tight small trash can with lid and would put them in there and empty often. And occasionally would flush a poopy one if I was upstairs away from that trash can. I maybe flushed maybe 3-5 a week and never noticed any clogging or septic problems. Hope that helps a little! Heard some people flush these with no problems. I didn't feel comfortable with that but in the end made the decision to put them in the trash because my toilets far away from my changing table :p We don't have our own septic tank but have it connected with city so that might affect clogging but not sure.

As a Civil Engineer I specify this for sewage pumping chambers as a high water alarm if the pump fails. It goes in the pump tank, not the septic tank.

For our septic system and area, we do this twice a year. I have used this product for a number of years and never have had any septic problems.

My parents have used it for years & they have a septic tank system. We've been using it with our system also, we are very happy with this product. No pipe, drain field, or tank damage. We've had no down sides to this product

Yes. It states on the side it is both septic and sewage safe. I have a septic tank and have been flushing this litter for about 2 years and haven't had a problem.

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.
