Where drain cleaner can go

Septic SystemVerdict: YES, WITH LIMITSYes, with limits. Use only a product labeled for septic systems, and keep chemical treatment to the label-directed dose rather than making it routine. EPA guidance advises avoiding chemical drain openers, so use a drain snake first. Enzyme or bacteria cleaners act more slowly and are not needed to keep the tank’s bacteria alive.
