💩🚽 TIPS TO KEEP YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM RUNNING SMOOTHLY 🚽💩
Your septic system works hard behind the scenes, so give it a little love!
Here are a few simple tips to help keep things flowing smoothy:
🧻 1. ONLY FLUSH THE 3 P’s
Poo, P*e & toilet Paper! 🚽
Keep wipes, nappies, sanitary products and cotton buds out of the toilet.
🫧 2. GO EASY ON THE GREASE
Fats, oils and grease can cause nasty problems. Let them cool, wipe pans out and put them in the rubbish instead of down the drain.
💧 3. DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR SYSTEM
Try spreading out washing, showers and dishwasher use. Too much water at once can put unnecessary pressure on your septic system.
🌱 4. WATCH WHAT YOU PLANT
Keep trees and large shrubs away from your septic tank and pipes. Those roots can cause some serious trouble!
🔧 5. GET IT CHECKED REGULARLY
Regular inspections and pumping can help prevent expensive problems before they happen. A good rule of thumb is to have your tank pumped every 2–3 years, or as recommended for your system.
