Is this safe for septic systems?

It is not recommended for septic systems. Florida has banned it specifically for that. But... Roebic does make a septic safe root killer, that I think is called K77. It is advertised specifically for main line and septic systems.

I can't tell you if it is safe for septic tanks, but works good for cleaning out the roots in my 4 inch sewer pipe and keeps them clear. I use it once a year to keep my lines clear of roots.

Yes! It's the only product that I've found to work on my system. Check out a video on their website that says can use on septic, except in Florida....which I imagine is because FL is one giant swamp. http://www.roebic.com/videos.shtml#root-killer

Bella, I will try to answer but from memory I don't think this is safe in a spetic system. You would be best served to call the manufacture on this one. Likewise you could try and Google the question but spetic systems have to have the right flora or bacteria present to break down the sewage, harsh chemicals that could effect this flora could cause lots of problems IMHO.

I see no reason why it would be an issue for septic tanks. It is only magnets and simply balances the minerals out so they don't deposit on your toilet.

No! We have had 3 clogged toilets on our septic system since we tried this TP out. Will go back to our other brand.

I used it when I had septic and experienced no problems. This is the best cleanser ever.

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.

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

Any product that chemically removes rust will contain a strong acid which will kill the bacteria in your septic tank. The product called the works which I am familiar with contains 20% hydrochloric acid. Perhaps if it does not kill all of the bacteria you will not experience problems.

I don't have a septic tank. A friend of mine had a septic tank and used this and there were never any problems with it.

Nope, I have a septic and I checked this too... On the bottle it says Septic Safe! I'll post a picture in a second.http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B0047528HM/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index;=0

I have a septic and I use them. Doesn't seem to bother it! Now I don't have one of the newer ones (airiation system) but it shouldn't matter.

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.

The package says yes, but I don't have a septic tank so I have not tested this claim.

Iam on a septic system and have not noticed any problems. My system was pumped out just a few months ago and the company said everything looked fine. I only use these 1 or 2 at a time in my automatic toilet cleaning system and they last for months so I'm not dumping a lot into the septic tank anyway. The container does not specifically mention septic systems as far as I can tell.
