According to the septic permit it is an aerobic system with surface irrigation. Not yet sure how that impacts the bleach or drano conversation.
In either system I wouldn't think you'd want to use any bleach or Drano like products as both systems rely on bacteria, some bad some good, to operate efficiently in the decomposition process. You need the good for decomposition and bleach and products like Drano kill both. We had to put in an aerobic system when our conventional system had some issues because Comal CO wouldn't let us have the old one fixed due to regulatory issues around percolation rates from the laterals. In the aerobic system the effluent goes through 4 different chambers before being irrigated out of the last chamber. Chlorine tablets or bleach is added into the last chamber and it kills both the good and the bad bacteria so at that point it's not an issue. If added to wash water, dish water etc before it hits the 1st chamber you could have problems.
This. We have the old school septic. Chlorine kills the bacteria. If anything, we add bacteria (rid x) to our system.
Also, look into a good Eero mesh wifi. Much easier to install and works fantastic. We have 1 acre lot with plenty of fast soeed coverage.
