Should I use chemicals in my septic tank? - Tardis Hire
Select Page

We empty a lot of septic tanks and get asked a lot of questions. One of the most common question is “should I use chemicals or additives in my septic tank?”

My advice is no.

Why?

Although they are not bad for the septic tank it’s the way some chemicals and additives get advertised. I saw one the other day saying that you will never need a septic tank emptying service again.

I can only recommend that pumping is the best septic system cleaner and if you bypassing this crucial step will only end up costing you money in the long run.

All septic tanks are made to be self-sufficient and should only need to be emptied at the most once a year with normal use.

Let the helpful bacteria do all the work eating the sludge from the bottom of the septic tank and pump all the scum every year to keep your septic tank in tip top condition.

That’s our advice.
