Please check the Gas Cylinders when you commence tenancy to ensure there is plenty of Gas.
Septic System Dos & Don’ts
All of the wastewater from your toilet, bath, kitchen and laundry flows into your septic tank which needs to maintain a good bacterial balance to keep working.
SEPTIC SYSTEM DON’TS
DO NOT PUT THESE ITEMS IN YOUR SYSTEM
YOUR TOILET
x Toilet bowl cleaners or harsh cleaning chemicals (Chemical cleaning products ruin the bacteria in your septic system and stop it working)
x Disposable diapers
x Sanitary napkins, tampons or condoms
Do not flush anything except toilet paper into your septic system!
YOUR KITCHEN
x Fats or grease
x Motor oils or fuels
x Coffee grounds, egg shells, nut shells
x Filter tip cigarettes
x Paper towels or rags
x Paints or chemicals
x Drain cleaners, floor cleaners, paints solvents, waxes, polishes, coating or strippers may destroy important bacteria in the septic tank and contaminate ground and surface water.
SEPTIC SYSTEM DO’S
R Do spread laundry use over the week rather than many loads on one day. While it might be convenient to do so, dedicating an entire day to doing laundry will put a severe strain on your septic system. Space out your laundry loads and wash only full loads. The average load of laundry uses 47 gallons of water. One load per day rather than 7 loads on Saturday makes a big difference to your septic tank. Also, front loading washers use less water than top loaders.
R Use liquid laundry detergent. Powdered laundry detergents use clay as a ‘carrier’. This clay can hasten the build-up of solids in the septic tank and potentially plug the disposal area.
R Minimize the amount of household cleaners (bleach, harsh cleansers) and similar toxic substances. Detergents, kitchen waste, laundry waste and household chemicals in normal amounts do not affect the proper operation of household sewage treatment systems.
R Run water regularly in seldom used drains such as sinks, tubs, showers, etc. to avoid noxious gases from building up and causing odours inside.
SYSTEM FAILURE
If you notice any of these warning signs contact your Rental Property Manager immediately for assistance.
• Water and sewage from toilets, drains, and sinks are backing up into the home.
• Bathtubs, showers, and sinks drain very slowly.
• Gurgling sounds in the plumbing system.
• Standing water or damp spots near the septic tank or drain field.
