What are important things to know when having a septic tank for our water?

What things can and cannot be flushed?

Answers:
We had a septic tank for years, and the same generalities from most homes applied to ours. Things that should not be flushed include tissue paper, condoms, cat litter, dental floss, or household chemicals.

Since you're a girl I'll tell you that some people say you're not supposed to flush feminine hygiene products like tampons but I flushed mine down the toilet for 10+ years and never had any problems from it.

Here's a guide for you about keeping the septic tank healthy. It also has some info on other things you shouldn't flush, although I listed most of them.
