Yes!
The aeration system helps break down the solids into liquids and the leach field gets rid of the liquids.
Michael asks…
Is it okay to use bath salts with a septic system?
My husband says using bath salts in the bath tub will mess up the septic system. We have a Jet aeration system with sprinklers (don’t know if that matters).
Staff answers:
Good question, but your husband is wrong.
A septic system is made to basically digest sh*t, i think it can handle a little bit of salt. Besides, theres a large measure of salt in your bodily fluids, your skin (which particals of wash down the drain with those bath salts too).
They frankly wouldnt make bath salts if they didnt dissolve, or if they ruined your septic system.
If youre still uncertain, look at the website for the people that manufactured the system, it will say on there what you cant use.
Lizzie asks…
Do I need to contact a lawyer for seller fraud?
I just purchased a home 1 week ago. To make a long story short, my listing sheet stated that the home had public water and sewer. A few days in we started to notice that toilets were not flushing. Sat an alarm starts to sound in the laundry room. It was for a septic system. We went for three and a half days with no working toilet, water etc. It was never disclosed that the home was on a septic system. Needless to say, we had to spend $500 today just to get it to function, to use the facilities. It’s going to cost in total to fix $3,000. We were lied to. the seller knew it was septic. I have a document he wrote out at day of closing that he made out with all of our utilities . One of the names was for an aeration system. Us being new home owners thought that the word sanitation meant trash service. We went to our realtor and were bascially told that they were sorry. I would have never bought this home if I knew it didn’t have public sewer. What do I do?
Staff answers:
Yep. Call a lawyer. They’ll be able to review those documents and tell you if you really have a case or not. You could also complain to the real estate board and state regulators too. Some states and cities have stricter requirements than others about disclosure. Most require well and septic disclosure as an affidavit signed by seller at closing. If that’s what you have, you have a solid case.
