Some grease from cooking goes down the drain but if it's a large amount I try to pour it into a bottle instead. I've never bought any snake oil for my tank. Had it pumped last year after 5 years of not doing it and everything came out nice and clean.

I did buy some additive from a local building supply lumber store, it has 4 packages and says to use them 4 months apart, I used one and will use yeast in the new tank from now on. I'll see what the old tank contents look like when the septic company pumps the old tank out to remove and replace it later this summer, I'll try to remember to post what I find then along with the name of that additive. Thanks to all of you for the help Cab Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

My county now requires a pump out every 5 years. I actually do mine every about every three years to keep the drain field is good shape. Never had any issues. Honestly I don`t worry about adding any treatment since we pump it so often. I think extra pumpings are cheaper than having to get the drain field redone.
