Part of the reason for not adding tank water to the septic tanks, especially saltwater, is because the salt can damage the bacteria living in the tanks (those that are not used to salty conditions), and at the field/open discharge, you can harm any plant life that sucks up the nutrients! Salt = bad on grass+trees. My dad asked the well and septic system guys about this, and both said no salt, I figure the reasons I just explained are why. We will be digging a 4-6ft deep hole just into the woods away from the house, filling it with gravel, and I will be draining SW through a hose into that pit.
