Jacuzzi Tubs Bacteria Sanitize and Septics

Dennis,

If you are worried about the chlorine why not try a non-chlorine Potassium Monopersulfate shock treatment? You can purchase a pound bag of it at most pool stores for about three bucks and it should last quite a time for your limited use.

What this stuff does is burn off the contaminates, it does not kill algae like chlorine, but I doubt you have that. It will eat up the oils and soaps. I use it in my pool and love the results.

Jacuzzi Tubs Bacteria Sanitize and Septics

From what I understand, the tank additives are a good way to clean your wallet but do little to help the system. My tank had not been pumped since the house was new in 1976 so that is one of the first things I did when I purchased it in '92. I have a great relationship with one local professional, so he keeps me out of the poop, so to speak.

Yes, the tank was fine but the lack of maintenance had ruined the distribution box and the fats and oils were just beginning their journey into the system. He replace the box and said we had caught it just in time. For the $100, I'll have him pump it every three years.

KWS,

Yes, the cost may have gone up in the last couple of years, mine is due here this fall so I will find out. If I recall, it was at $85 for a long time if he had to dig the lid on the 1K tank and then rose a few bucks. Given that the wife pays the bills I am unsure how much the last one was. Hope I am not in for a $400 hosing!
