I think we went 10 years before we thought to have it emptied & it could have gone longer they said. We added a small packet of this stuff at night (flushed it down) and it "ate" everyting in the tank...or helped it break down. I'll find out what it is and let you know.

I had a moment of panic whenever lifting the lid.
