I know it's a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone else out there has septic and a little squirt? We are having major plumbing issues at the moment and I'm wondering if the Little Squirt is contributing.

Does anyone else have any issues with it?

We did in our previous house (2 yrs ago) but I didn't use a little squirt.
What's the problem with the septic?

We had problems when the soakage pit got too full and wasn't draining (it was a pretty old one). A few big baths and the water would then take a gazillion years to drain, occasionally to the point where it just wouldn't!

We have a septic and have had no problems with the Little Squirt. Hope you find the problem soon!

Thanks for your responses, I have an update!

The tank was completely overflowing and we got it pumped. Turns out the drainage pipe and all the trenches are completely blocked. :thumbsdown:

For anyone else that was wondering about it, I asked my septic guy. He said ordinarily septic systems would love the extra water so it should cause no problems. :thumbsup:
