Why on earth would you put chlorine into a septic system? The idea is to allow bacteria to break down the waste and liquefy it. If you kill all the bacteria, you have turned the septic system into a sewage storage pit. Plan on pumping it out, a lot.

Can a Chlorine Tablet eat plastic?

YES... Depending on the type of plastic. But many brands of pool chlorine tablets are individually sealed in plastic when you buy them. However, even the plastic they wrap the tablets in isn't immune from the chlorine damage. Usually, the plastic tablet wrapping will remain sealed for about one swimming season. If you have tablets that were individually wrapped, purchased during last year's swim season, there's a strong likelihood that if you take a tablet out of the bucket now, you will find the plastic wrapping either no longer sealed, or brittle so when you try opening the plastic tablet wrapping, the plastic will simply crumble in your hands instead of being flexible like it was last year when you quit using the pool.

How many chlorine tablets do you use in a 4400 gallon pool and how often?

To answer your question , the number of tablets depends on a lot of things and uses. If the pool is for private use, look on the container and you will get an approximate number of tablets to use. Then by testing the water every day you can add more or fewer tablets to achieve the level of chlorine that is most satisfying and comfortable to you and your family, usually 1.5 ppm for a household private pool and 2.0ppm for a hotel or country club pool. Any thing larger and you should use a liquid chlorine which requires a whole other set of vats and pumps and a stricter monitoring of chlorine and pH levels which need to be recorded so an inspector from the town can view it at any time. To find out how many tablets to start off with you multiply length by width by approximate average depth which will give you approx. Gallons and number of tablets should be listed on container the chlorine came in.
