Are Koh products safe for septic tanks?
What should I know when using Koh with a septic or greywater system?
✓ Three things to keep in mind
Use only as directed. Follow the dosage or dilution guidance on the label. Using more than directed doesn't clean better and adds unnecessary load on your system.

Avoid excessive use beyond normal cleaning applications. Even septic-compatible products can affect system balance in very large volumes. Normal household use is fine.
