I mean you could but then you’d be swimming in fish poop and it would probably ruin the filtration lol!As someone with a saltwater pool already, I really really wish I could just dump it all into my pool .
wrongFor 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!
This 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
It's been discussed already, this is extremely unhelpful. Thanks though!wrong
Does it go to the North Pole? Wouldn’t that be funny!I dump mine through a portal I found in the back of my house
There’s a lot of factors that go into this. What if you own a 500 gallon thank and do a ten percent weekly water change? Depending on the size of your septic system I can see this being a huge problem!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.
Thats only 50 gallons so no biggie. The size of the septic tank itself is of no importance for water as it just hold the solid waste and the water flows out through that tank into the leach bed or whatever system the health dept in your area requires to drain the liquid. On septic all the liquid eventually ends up in the earth, it's just how a septic system work.What if you own a 500 gallon thank and do a ten percent weekly water change?

So I've been dumping my dirty water after a water change outside into an area drain that then goes out to the front gutter. My buddy mentioned that it might be inconsiderate to my neighbors since the dirty saltwater runs down all of their gutters and I live in an area that rarely rains. I'm thinking maybe I should just dump this stuff into my shower drain instead . Is this a stupid thing to put extra thought into?
I water my trees with it (RODI waste as well).
I ran over 1000 gallons of reef tanks and put all my waste into the septic at my house. No issue at all.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 think many people do not understand exactly how a septic system actually works and they think the salt water just stays in the tank.I ran over 1000 gallons of reef tanks and put all my waste into the septic at my house. No issue at all.
I ran a test for over a year on a scrub cedar tree I was planning on taking out. It was a smallish tree around 15' and I put 20 gallons a week of used salt water on it. It outgrew the other nearb cedar trees. I usually put the water in between the bases of my large Doug Fir and Ponderosa Pines.Used tank water? I do not believe that is a desirable procedure unless you also add a lot of other water to dilute it.
