Under typical household use and disposal conditions, cleaning products won't eliminate the bacteria that make properly maintained septic tank systems work effectively. Water-soluble cleaning products are designed to be compatible with a wide variety of wastewater treatment systems.

NO. If you are currently using chlorine (or bromine in a spa) the Sigma III can be installed without making any changes to the water. The chlorine will slowly dissipate, and you will have a chlorine-free pool in no time. If you are using some type of alternative chemical, like Baquacil, you will need to put in certain chemicals that neutralize the Baquacil before putting the Sigma III in, much like converting back to chlorine. You should be able to find those chemicals at your local pool store.

A drain is a pipe, which conveys either foul water (sink / bath / toilet etc.) or surface water (rain) from one house only. The owner or occupier of a house is solely responsible for maintaining a drain, clearing blockages and repairing any faults. Even where the drain extends outside the boundary of the property (for example under the road or under a neighbour's garden) the owner or occupier of the house served by the drain is still responsible, right up to the main public sewer.

The pool is filtered with ozone and minerals which allows us to run 100% chemical free. The only chemical used is baking soda for PH balance. We do use a fast dissolving spa shock once a week when the pool is closed for 24 hours. Also, the pool is drained and cleaned every four to six weeks.
