Do these products made to clean, and produce bacterial action,
actually work to keep the tanks working, and system clean.
I had to start using more water, and detergents do to a family member
added to our home. Do to incontinance, various bleaches and ammonia,
had to be used in order to control order on clothes.
The system is starting to get slugguish, will anything help?

It sounds like you're basically overloading it with water. If there are
options to get your washer and dishwasher OFF the septic system, that may be
your best bet. Unless you're right in the middle of a bunch of snooty
houses, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to relieve the septic
system from these items. (if you catch my drift). As for the additives,
forget them, you don't need that.

Andy, the only option short of what Steve suggested is to take the soiled
clothes to a laundromat. Too much bleach and detergent *is* the likely
culprit, as you stated. Tough situation, besides the septic issue. Oh yea,
have you considered 'Depends' for the incontinent family member. That way
there is considerably less problem with clothing being soiled and odorous.
I'm speaking from family experience.
Best of luck to you all,
Chuck

IMHO, additives are good only if your system has sat idle for a period
of weeks, or if you have flushed a quantity of bleach into the
system. They are not needed on a regular basis nor will they help in
your situation.

Thanks, everbody for you help, I got my brother to take
over the washing duties for now, he is on a public system.
We are going to wash our the clothes in the laundrmat. until
i can get it going. I must have 2ft of snow in the yard, with an ice crust.
The tank is working, but it is slow.
I put Roebic septic cleaner in the tank last night, I will post
back to tell you if it helped!
Thanks again!
