does the Pure wash cause any kind of problems with a septic system???

Not at all. I have been using it over a year now with a septic system. If anything, it is better for it as you aren't releasing detergent into it.

We have used Kaboom for approximately 5 years in our home and also in 9 weekly vacation rentals, all have septic systems. We have experienced no problems

We don't have a septic system, so I cannot answer your question.Check with your contractor. Good luck.

Even though the box does not state whether it is or not, I have never had a problem with it. I have had septic systems for the last 30 years.

So far, we haven't had a problem with any interference. However, I do use an additive that is added every month or two to help the bacteria work. Just make sure that when you add the poop to the drain, you flush it thoroughly with plenty of water.

Can you tell me exactly what you mean by how long to dissolve? Do you have a septic system? Is it a wiping question?

I put the thing in our washer and dryer in the "sanitize" (very hot) or "cold wash" cycle (we have a PureWash unit) depending on soil level/type ..... appears to clean up fine.

J. Kay - I don't have a septic system, but my parents do and they use these with no problems. I think the main feature is that the chunks of soap nuts don't go in the system, just the soapy water (like any other detergent stuff). I usually tie the drawstring on the little bag in a knot and since the soap nuts are generally whole from this company (only sliced open to get the seed out), not much (if anything) comes out during the wash. I'm no expert in septic systems, but I would think that, if anything, these would be better for a septic system than more caustic detergents (even the "natural" ones). If you don't have an official answer yet and are still curious, (or others who read this are) the company (NaturOli) has been really responsive to my own inquiries, so maybe reaching out to them would be more helpful. Good Luck!

Michael: Per your question about what this will do to a septic system. Oh Yuk's dose is very well planned out with lab testing and field testing so the product is the correct strength. Not to strong, not to weak, so there shouldn't be much that gets into the septic system. Plus, if there is any active chemical remaining, the contaminants in the septic system would overwhelm and neutralize the chemical. With this said, this should not have any impact on the septic system.

My septic company used to have me use one quart every two months. I read that it helps with the bowels also. Because of heavy hair lost by the femails in this house, I use it every month-end in the sinks and the tub.

The packaging warns against flushing with a septic system... Even though I'm not on a septic system, I still try to avoid flushing the litter as much as possible

Other "septic safe" powders used to clog our constantly clog our septic system. Since we switched to Charlie's soap we have had much less cloging issues with the septic. I would say about 3/4 less septic issues. Also I do believe the regular size can is labeled septic safe. Additionally, this soap leaves our front loader free of that disgusting film left behind by other leading brands.

I think the question should be " is it bad for septic tanks?'.....the answer is "no".....we are on a septic tank and we use this product every six months following a root obstruction a few yrs back.....it does not harm the septic system and we have been root free....RRR

Yes. It states on the side it is both septic and sewage safe. I have a septic tank and have been flushing this litter for about 2 years and haven't had a problem.

It doesn't say anything about septic systems on the back. We have a septic tank and I have used this product for several years with no damage to our septic tank.
