I was informed that putting yeast down the drain after fermenting into a septic tank is a big no-no. Has anyone else heard this?
I would think the more bacteria in there the better. I put some roadkill in mine every time I get it pumped. I don't know if it works or not but that's what my grandfather always did!
I can't believe none of you did a Google search. I did, "is Rid-X a yeast? Everything I read is that yeast is a very good thing for septic tanks.......
Been dumping my for 10+ years when we refinanced it had to be pumped out. We removed the cover and in the grey water side we could see the bottom it was so clear guy couldn't believe we hadn't had it pumped since we moved in. It must do something + most of are detergents are biodegradable.
haha, you should have googled it Rid-X is bacteria, not yeast, which is a fungus (think mushroom). Did I understand you correctly?
Pretty sure this is what they did at Lagunitas, in Lagunitas, Ca., leading to a pretty nasty mishap somehow and got them kicked out of town...
I'm an environmental engineer and yeast is not on any of my lists of "what not to dump down your drain" that we give to clients. Anaerobic bacteria are in the trillions in your septic tank. It is unlikely that yeast will do anything but fall to the bottom in an anoxic environment.
Why dump trub down the drains though? It's just going to add to the solids in your septic tank. If you have a yard just pitch it out in the lawn...won't hurt anything. I never dump food trash or liquids down the drain that could be dumped outside. If it's biodegradable I dump it in my woods behind the house.
If you dump anything and everything down your drains because you have city sewer...well you are the kind of people that are the scourge of the wastewater treatment plants and the reason your sewer bills keep going up!
10+ years and I have never had the septic oumped ( are you supposed to). Everything except the spent grain goes down the drain.
What's the diff between dumping it out your lawn, versus sending it out to your lawn via the septic?

Now I want a septic system!
Is that an april fools day joke? First, gross. Second, they must have had the most gigantic septic systems ever. They are 500-2000 gallons for the average household....not quite the size of a missile bunker or anything.
If I had one, I would. I've been trying to find the one I read, but its been years. I always think about it, guess I have $h!t for brains.
here's something I found.
