Our take on Septifix

Septifix is a flush-down septic tank tablet that the maker says releases oxygen and adds live aerobic bacteria to keep your tank balanced between pumpings. It's an easy monthly habit, with a 60-day money-back guarantee and an 18-month bundle at $147. It doesn't replace septic pumping, and it won't fix backups or a failing drain field.
