We used bacteria and enzyme products in our RV's black-water holding
tank for many years. It was the most effective (and "earth-friendly) way
to digest human waste. That's why I still use it in the septic system.
So it does work, but you have to be careful not to kill the critters by
using too much bleach or strong cleaning chemicals.

I was careful to not let any food particles get into the kitchen gray
water tank and used a screen in the sink to catch small particles. The
regular strainer baskets are useless.

I use the screen in our house, too.
