No, the chlorine concentration in your pool water is designed to kill all of the bacteria that end up in the water in order to keep your pool clean. The bacteria in your septic tank are good bacteria that break down what you flush down the toilet so that it doesnt get backed-up. Dumping your pool water into the septic tank will kill these good bacteria and stop your septic tank from working. THIS WILL BE VERY BAD.

So the bottom line is definitely NO. If you need somewhere to empty your pool, get a long enough hose to dump it into a storm drain on the street. (thats even what the pros do)

How to Clean a Septic Tank?

An overfilled septic tank can cause backups in a sewer line, causing many problems in a plumbing system. If a septic tank has overflowed, it is usually clogged with excessive organic debris. A septic tank cleaner can be a good first step when treating a septic tank overflow. Septic tank cleaners contain natural bacteria and enzymes, designed to break down organic material in human waste. Excessive disposal of bleach and detergents into a septic line can kill these bacteria, preventing the breakdown of septic waste in a tank. If a septic cleaner doesn't clear a tank after a week, it may be necessary to use a professional septic tank cleaning service.
