|    What does chlorine do to a septic system    |

      XPost: alt.home.repair       From: arlen.g.holder@arlenholder.net              The wife loves to dump tons of chlorine in the toilet bowls (don't ask why,       she just does).              I'm curious how that can possibly be good for the septic system, given       chlorine works best in the dark and given that even a small amount goes       pretty far.              I guess the good thing is that it only goes so far, where the biomass load       may overwhelm the chlorine.              Does anyone have real world data that tells us how much effect, say, a       gallon of supermarket chlorine (12% by volume, I think, or maybe by weight,       or maybe 6%, I don't remember) does to a typical septic system?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
