Hard water is a crisis in the household. The calcium and magnesium in hard water make it very difficult to wash anything. As a result, you wash things repeatedly and you use more soap. This is very time consuming and costly. Your water bill and soap budget increase over time. That is why many homemakers resort to using water softeners.

Water softeners contain salt, which makes the water soft and easy to use. With water softeners, you do not have to use as much soap or time in accomplishing your wash duties. Nevertheless, using water softeners very often deposits salt into your septic system. This eventually results in chaos.

As you know, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria are the ones that break down organic wastes in your septic tank. They live in a freshwater environment. Adding too much salt in your septic tank kills them off. No bacteria, no septic system. This leads to septic clogs, backups, and flooding, which are never welcome in a healthy home.

Use water softeners sparingly. Also, change your detergents and cleaning solutions. Use green or environment friendly cleaners to lessen the stress in your septic when you soften your water.

It’s not a new color!

Being septic green is using green cleaning products around your home or work environment, so that your septic system remains safe and optimal. As you know, your septic system is a living system, composed of active and helpful bacteria. These anaerobic and aerobic bacteria help breakdown organic matter in your wastewater, so that the resulting treated effluent goes back smoothly into your surrounding environment in its safest form.

Regular cleaning materials contain harsh chemicals. These inorganic substances kill off the useful bacteria in your septic. Remember, if there are no bacteria, there is no wastewater treatment. Your septic eventually becomes clogged. As a result, the wastewater backs up into your home and on your backyard. This problem causes health and sanitation issues that you definitely do not want to face.
