DISINFECTANTS / CLEANERS Use biodegradable cleaners, such as the Mighty Mike® All-Purpose Cleaner from Scienco/ FAST (www.sciencofast.com) or other environmentally-friendly cleaner/disinfectant according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Products containing quaternary ammonia or pine oilbased cleaners should not be used. Use drain cleaners only as a last resort to unclog pipes. LEAKY FIXTURES Large quantities of water are added to your wastewater system when you have leaking ﬁxtures. Timely detection and repair can help to maximize the life of your system, especially the drain ﬁeld. MEDICINES DO NOT FLUSH MEDICINES DOWN ANY DRAIN. All antibiotic medicines are harmful to treatment quality. Unused medications should be returned to the pharmacy, doctor, or thrown away in the trash. FOOD WASTES Garbage disposal waste is acceptable - if allowed by your local regulatory authority. However, it may lead to more frequent removal of solids from your septic tank. For large quantities of food, please dispose of in the garbage. NOTE: As the human body absorbs ≤20% of these medications, please notify your service provider of medicines in the house. This could reduce troubleshooting efforts and possibly your maintenance bill. FLOOR DRAINS FROM GARAGE AND WORKROOMS Should be diverted away from your septic system.
