I use mine to water my neighbors lawn. . . just a nice guy like that.

He did say "... there's a chance..."Not true. I've been dumping 30-40 gallons a week into my septic for over 8 years with no problems. Just had the septic pumped for the first time in 27 years and all is fine.
I understand the concern but it's unfounded IMO and I don't want people to think they can't dump their waste water down the drain. I've been on septic my entire life (63yo) and I do realize the hassle repairing or replacing a system can be but it will not be because of some water change water being dumped down the drain.He did say "... there's a chance..."
And it's a good point. If you've ever had to deal with a problematic septic system, you'd appreciate the comment...
I mean... Not all septic systems are created equal and while your experience is valid it doesn't mean it can't exacerbate issues if people are already experiencing other problems in their system. Size of the system and local regulations has a lot to do with it too. All I said is it's worth the research.I understand the concern but it's unfounded IMO and I don't want people to think they can't dump their waste water down the drain.

The thing about septic systems is they all hold only the solid waste and the liquid goes out into a leach bed, sand filter etc called a soil absorption field (I did have to look up the terminology ) There are other sewer systems but septic systems are septic and they all end the same way with the liquid waste ending up in the soil. Or in my case it goes through a sand filtration system and drains into a branch of the black river and ends up in Lake Erie. I'm not trying to be argumentative but I also don't want this thread to pop up in a search and some poor souls thinking they need to come up with some sort of way to dispose of their wastewater like it's hazardous waste or something.I mean...

Can someone please elaborate on this? I have been adding about 50 G a month into my septic. And I’m about to install a 250g tank. What to do with all this dirty water?For future folks, not recommended for septic systems, at least not without more research. There's a chance that the saltwater can decimate the bacteria population in your system!
Currently I dump it down the sink drain with the sink onThis topic got new thinking. I wonder how efficient or inefficient it would be to collect your waste water and run another RO/DI setup from the waste water to desalinate it

How many in the house?Can someone please elaborate on this? I have been adding about 50 G a month into my septic. And I’m about to install a 250g tank. What to do with all this dirty water?
Usually I just flush the drain with some tap water too to dilute it even moreCan someone please elaborate on this? I have been adding about 50 G a month into my septic. And I’m about to install a 250g tank. What to do with all this dirty water?
I like this idea, but I do wonder if you need to somehow remove or lower the salt concentration because I would think that the salt might clog the carbon block and a wonder how long a RO membrane would last with basically straight seawater?This topic got new thinking.

I heard salt water pools are great for the body.I dump it in my pool. Slowly converting over to saltwater as chlorine is ridiculously expensive these days...
Brackish i think is best. Some water parks do thisI heard salt water pools are great for the body.
My pool is 18,000 gallons so it's gonna take awhile to find out..I heard salt water pools are great for the body.
