Do not allow paints, motor oil, pesticides, fertilizers or disinfectants to get into your septic system. They can pass directly through the septic system and contaminate groundwater. These chemicals can also kill the microorganisms which decompose wastes and can damage the soil-drain field. Do not use caustic drain openers for a clogged drain. Instead use boiling water or a drain snake to free up clogs. Clean your toilet, sinks, shower and tubs with a mild detergent or baking soda rather than the stronger potentially system-damaging commercial bathroom cleansers.

If a water softener is used in the home, the salt recharge solution should not be allowed to enter the system if the predominant soils in the drain field are very fine textured and drainage is very slow. In these situations, sodium in the softener recharge solution may damage soil structure in the drain field and plug the system. If you have a water softener, the size of the absorption field must be increased to accommodate the additional flow. Water is not only a valuable resource it plays a very important role in how quickly your septic system will fill up and need pumping.
