Aerobic septic system education is the best maintenance plan any homeowner can have.
On-site systems must process the water as it enters the system. Laundry should be spread out over the week, not all run at one time.
Excessive use of detergents, especially those containing bleach, can affect system performance.
Liquid detergents are recommended over powders. Fabric softener sheets are recommended over liquid softeners.
Bleach should be used sparingly and at half the rate indicated on the container.
