I have two septic tanks and one treatment plant, we don’t use anything different than standard stuff you buy in Tesco, we try to use minimum bleach down the toilet. 
that is it.

Dishwasher tablets used to have, I think, some bleaching type ingredient but no longer.

But they do have lots of other chemicals. I think most of them are bonded to the waste by the time they are drained so prob no problem. 

 

I recently checked out toilet duck type stuff, and there was no bleach.

But there is so much bleach in the shops, and cheap, that we can see that it is very widely used. I think I will hide it as a garage stored chemical.

I use Ecover everywhere, safe with the kids and no harm to my septic system or drain field. Buy the large 5LT drums online and if I am ever caught short its also in most shops.
