Is it good for ground level water to go into septic tank?
not really as septic tanks are designed to separate solids and liquids. they are then connected by a pipe to a leech field which deals with the liquids.... so if ground water runs in, it could saturate the leech field such that it QUITS leeching-and now you have stinky mess rolling out the top of the septic tank. Even a running toilet is a big concern for the same reason.

The groundwater gets effected as the water leaks through the pipes and goes waste.
Where do you deposit the chlorine tablets in a septic system?
DON'T!!! Septic systems require bacteria and enzymes to break down the waste. Chlorine tablets will kill the bacteria and destroy the enzymes. That's true for a traditional septic system. But some systems are really on-site waste treatment plants. After the septic tank the liquid flows through a sand filter which is populated by aerobic bacteria. After passing through the sand filter, the liquid is chlorinated and then discharged. In this type of system you do need chlorine tablets. And they have to be the right kind of tablets. DON'T use tablets designed for swimming pools! In my system there is a small black box next to the driveway. Inside that box are two white plastic tubes. That's where the chlorine tablets go. Your system may be different.
What is zeocarbon?
Zeocarbon is a mixture of activated carbon and a volcanic rock called zeolite. Activated carbon is most often used in air filtering applications to remove odor and volatile organic compounds, ( VOCs.). Zeolite is most often added to the activated carbon to form "zeocarbon," when air filters are used to treat septic tank vents or sewer vents, because of zeocarbons unique ability to remove ammonia as well as VOCs and other odor causing compounds.

Does the poo and pee get soggy when it goes into a septic tank?
Septic tanks usually have several run off tanks in which liquid waste runs into then drains down into the ground through rock and gravel "filters" the solid waste then fills up the tank and is usually the same consistence of mud. Once a year (depending on the usage and size of tank...) the septic tank needs to be cleaned out. A big truck with a Vacumm on the back along with quite a nasty smell. Makes you think twice before playing in the mud...
