We all use toilet paper and some toilet paper is better than others when it comes to your septic system But What the Heck Is Truly septic bacteria-safe toilet paper? 

“Septic Safe” toilet paper?

     Septic safe toilet paper is basically a marketing ploy by some big toilet manufacturers to make their toilet paper sell to people who have septic tanks. 

What does “Septic Safe” toilet paper mean?

     It means it will not harm the physical structure of your Poly or Concrete septic tank or your plastic pipe drain field or Cultec chamber system.

What septic safe toilet paper does not mean:

     It does not mean it does not murder the good septic tank bacteria that is growing in your septic tank or break down lighting fast so your septic tank bacteria can go to work on it and break it down and digest it.     

This also means you have to use septic tank bacteria packets every month to offset the heavy bleached toilet paper slowly breaking down. When you use most toilet paper on the market, It’s like adding septic tank bacteria-killing bleach to your expensive septic tank!

What the Heck Is Truly septic bacteria-safe toilet paper?

RV toilet paper was designed to break down very fast into a small holding tank in an RV holding tank, To be dumped at an RV dumping station generally found at Camp Grounds and Truck Stops. These dumping stations have requirements of the septic waste being pumped into their advanced treatment systems and one of them is a low bleach content. Bleach is a killer of good septic tank bacteria.

Do septic tanks shake rattle and roll?

    Please keep in mind that RV toilet paper breaks down when the RV is moving also. Septic tanks in a home do not move unless there is an aeration treatment unit installed that would at some point in time during the day, will help mix the septic waste solution, grow septic tank bacteria and help break down the toilet paper. Aeration treatment units also counteract the bleach in the toilet paper over time.

 

 The best toilet paper for septic tank systems:

RV toilet paper is the best to use with a septic tank. Next is a single-ply toilet paper.The “Soft” toilet paper is very bad for septic tanks because it takes a long time to break down, Unlike single-ply toilet paper.
