Wayne,

I just want to jump in to this thread with some personal experience.
Almost every home I've lived in for close to 70 years has been served
by a septic system. In our current home, we've been on the same septic
system for the last 27 years and have experienced no problems. Regular
pumping is important for septic system health.
According to the experts, adding bacterial or enzyme based
starters/rejuvenators is at best, ineffective, unnecessary and a waste
of money; and at worst, can be extremely damaging to the system and/or
the environment.
