Are septic system additives required to help keep my system operating properly?
- You may have heard about products which claim to “rejuvenate” your septic system, or to eliminate the need to pump your septic tank. Though there is no evidence that most of these products cause any harm, there is also little evidence that they provide any benefit. Ordinary household sewage provides all the natural bacteria a septic system needs to operate, without any need for additives.
