As some others advised we use Scott brand 1,000 roll toilet paper. Septic safe.
We also have all the girls use a waste basket instead of flushing all that tissue down. (relatives hate it when the girls visit)

I seperate my clothes washer water (grey water) with a seperate drain line that goes directly out down the back hill.
So that is less soap and bleach to put into the tank.

As for treatment.
We use a product called MICROBE-LIFT.
It’s hard to find, but I believe they have a web site.
It stinks to heaven high because it contains live anaerobic bacteria.
Best Stuff Ever.

We had our tank pumped out once when we thought we had a problem. It turned out to be something else, but the guy who pumped the tank said it was the cleanest tank he’s ever pumped and told us to keep doing whatever it was we were doing.

Good Luck

Thanks for sharing how Microbe-lift helped you prolong the life of your septic. I found some Microbe-Lift products on this site http://www.123ponds.com/
Do you mind sharing how to use this for Septic? Like how much do you put on a monthly basis ?

Thanks so much.... we’re kinda desperate.
