THIS BLOG IS BEST VIEWED ON A FULL-SIZED MONITOR, NOT, A CELLPHONE
That above comment looms very-very large this weekend... I only have two laptop viewers of this site, obviously there is total lack of a cell phone offering the reader comprehension... although here were 27 openings of the February 10th (#12) blog page, yet, still, many saw "all new" information about saving your septic system how tos in a recent text ?? so, here is a reprint:
February 10, 2025 reprint: "In preparation for (looking at) adding in the additional greywater load of laundry/shower services to the office/tool room, and the bacteria-killing Phosphate load, we took a look around at our septage vaults and clean-outs ... "not" impressive .... so, I will offer a comment on toilet paper.
The absolute biggest disaster to a community of septic system users like us, is a system failure ... once the little microbial coliform guys are dead, suffocated, or over fed, we may not be able to recover the system within our economic ability.
Without insulting anyone's worldliness or knowledge about of RV/tiny house/boat living ... anything going into the grey or black water system that is not from a body function needs to "self"-destruct via bio-degrade. I recall the California campground sign "if you cannot put it in your mouth, don't put it in the toilet"
From the "Alternative Living 101" class we all learned that "ONLY" single-ply bathroom tissue certified as "septic-safe", and NOT advertised as "ultra-soft" or "extra-absorbent" belongs in the toilet, and less is better. Paper towels, wipes of any type, toilet bowl chemicals and cleaners, bleach or pail water, food scraps, anti-bacterial anything, hair dye, paint, medications, vacuum cleaner or ash tray remnants, and plastic anything ... does not belong in the toilet.. but, you "Knew" that. "
A memory addendum: at Marmo's RV somewhere in Calif I photographed a sign that said " If you cannot, or did not, put it in your mouth, don't put it in the toilet".
D-Day came and went on the 6th ...unnoticed,
Other than brushing my teeth in the yard, I have "No comment" on the week, it was sunny and breezy, check your sewer hoses and connections, the four deer are (have) broken my fittings and punctured the hose ...
