I service many septic systems and I use a product called RC 4. Similar to
Rid X, this contains bacteria and enzymes specifically selected to digest septic system waste.
The granular version is best as it does not just flow through the tank.
Basically what you should be doing is encouraging microbial growth, which in turn digests all human effluent. Many products will do this if they remain in the tank for a while.

No. Rid-X is a septic treatment not a bug killer. It contains active bacteria to break down household waste, rendering your septic tank cleaner and less likely to have problems.

A septic tank needs to be pumped when full or before a big get together at your house. Also you need to clean up the septic from back up. Using things sucks as Rid X can help you as well.
Is sugar good for septic tanks?
It has little to no effect. The bacteria are already feeding on the waste products. They will just break down the sugar as well. Rid-X and yeast are your best options for septic upkeep.
How do you maintain your septic tank?
Septic tanks require very little maintenance. You can dose your septic tank with a bacteria treatment once a month with Rid-X or a similar brand, but this is not vital. If you do use a bacteria treatment, you will only need to have your septic tank pumped out every five years, instead of every one or two years. You should not flush things like tampons or sanitary wipes, and you should only use biodegradable toilet paper, because the bacteria cannot break these things down and this will also cause the septic tank to get full faster. The only other things to remember are to keep the area above your septic tank and its drain field grassy. Do not allow plants with large root systems to grow there, or your septic system will be damaged. Do not position anything heavy over the septic system either - septic tanks have been completely broken due to people parking their cars over them.
