Do you mean septic tank? Lots of waste water treatment systems get called septic tank in error. Real septic tanks are simple, usually underground, digestion/fermentation vessels that are connected to weaper drains or (illegally in the UK) suface water courses that get rid of high nutrient content, but basically clean, water from the system. They need attention extremely infrequently when they are working properly and are in suitable soil. As such, nothing that bacteria cannot reasonably quickly digest can go down the drain - especially plastics.

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.
