I am on a pump out system. I also regularly add bacterial culture to my system (i.e., Septo-Bac). We don't use many chemicals or cleaning agents that would affect the septic action.

As Hillegom stated, the health of your bacteria culture is directly linked to the efficiency of your septic system.

We have to double our dose of Septi-Bac type stuff we use monthly because ALL our waste water goes into the septic as well I found a CLR product specially made for septic tanks that I am going to try.

Tested again tonight and got this:

Sal - 1.026
Ca - 420
ALK - 10
MAG - 1400
pH - 8.10
Phos - untraceable
NO2 & NO3 - untraceable

Going to leave it for a week and see where it's at then.
