Will a softener harm a septic system?
Studies conducted at the University of Wisconsin- Madison, and the National Sanitation
Foundation confirm that softener regeneration does not harm the bacteria in a septic system.
In addition, NSF has shown several findings: The normal salt content found in hard water is
less than ideal for bacterial growth. The addition of sodium to the system was found to bring
the bacterial environment closer to the optimal range. The volume of softener wastes are added
to the septic tank slowly and are not of sufficient volume to cause any deleterious hydraulic
load problems in septic tank systems. Water softener regeneration wastes not only should not
interfere with septic tank system drain field soil percolation, but may actually improve soil
percolation.
