    Live in the country and got my septic tank cleaned for the first time the other week. Since then, chamber one is not breaking down the solids etc and the tank is already filling. My opinion is that there are no bacteria left there to do what they are supposed to do. Too clean!!!
    Question is, could anyone recommend an accelerator to get it going? PM if required. Roadkill is actually hard to find around here, so not really an option as need to add something asap. (Downside to having active Tidytowns committee!!:D)

    Should this be done everytime you have your septic tank emptied?

    No need really. Just this time I over cleaned it by mistake, (Not paying attention to what I was doing - too busy talking). Usually leave a bit in or just back fill sludge from Vac Tanker, keeping the original bacteria working away. In theory, this should actually do it for you.
