There is no need to add any additives of any sort to your septic
system all your system needs to work is the bacteria from your gut. If
you feel that your system is getting sluggish(which it isn't) invite 6
friends over for pizza and beer that will certainly do it (refresh
it ) As 4 how often it should be pumped according to the standard
practice manual of British Columbia with just u in the house and a 3
chamber tank with a working volume of 1500 gals it should be pumped
the next time the starship Enterprise returns to popularity! As 4 the
pump running "dry" it should have been designed so that after a dosing
volume there should still be a "cooling zone" left to keep the pump
cool. These additives are a ruse, there is 20 trillion bacteria in a
shotglass of fecal matter, so Dave don't sweat it, it will be working
when you are not.Dave Jeeves Registered Onsite Wastewater
