[QUOTE=Prism99;5535632]I just want to mention that there are different types of septic systems. We have a newer one that has a front-end filter on it, and that filter can get clogged up fairly easily. Our state mandates inspections of this type of septic system every 3 years, but we have had the filter get clogged from light use much sooner than that. (My dh figured out how to clean the filter himself, but it's not a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon!)
funny how (they) tend to improve things - and make more maintenance necessary on so many basic things- the first time i made a raggy quilt i about had a heart attack when i opened the washer & saw all the (loose fluff) coating the whole inside of the washer- i was sure that would clog the pipes good- i've been lucky & it hasn't happened- but i don't really get much (stuff) from my wools- nothing like making raggy quilts- i get fluff in the dryer lint trap but not much in the washer.
