Nothing should be going to the septic tank only the waste from the toilets. The waste water from the house, sinks, bath, washing machine etc. goes to a different soakaway.
I come accross so many people that have this problem on an ongoing basis ie. after a couple of years, the washing powder is responsible for clogging up the system. In laymans terms, what does this standard mentioned above include to prevent this buildup?- a septic tank system which is properly designed and constructed with adequate percolation areas should be able to handle the waste from a domestic machine. Consult the Irish standard SR^: 1991 for further info on septic tanks.
Is it right that you should not use bleach if you have a septic tank as it kills the bacteria that allow it to work?
