Toilet paper... help!!

Being on a septic system isn't relevant to blockages. The waste isn't supposed to go any further than the tank, and blockages occur between the house and the tank so if you are getting blockages you'd still be getting blockages if there was no septic system. Brands of toilet paper shouldn't matter either since all toilet paper is designed to go down the toilet.

If you're getting clogs it could be because of the amount of paper being flushed at once, or it could be because someone is flushing something that should not have been flushed such as paper towels. It's also possible the plumbing itself is iffy, not enough drop or too much drop could cause that.

The tanks themselves need to be pumped ever so many years, my best guess is ever 5 years would be safe although I'm aware of tanks that have gone much longer. At some point the tank will fill up regardless of what brand of paper you use, and if it starts running out into the field lines you have a major problem.

I use approximately 142 sheets of single ply paper per day. It is super thin. Many brands of toilet paper are much thicker.

Use toilet paper that dissolves.

No. My wife cant seem to use less than her height in toilet tissue for anything. I suppose I should be delighted she isnt a basketball player..😷

YES, who counts sheets of toilet paper

Yes, toilet paper. And a good plunger. Oh and quality hip waders.

No way 5 people can 💩 enough to use 72 TP per day. But u may need to do what my grandfather use to do at his house. U couldn't flush whips and TP at his house. He just had a really old septic system. So he kept a trashcan buy the toilet

It shouldn't be more than a roll and a half a day.

Someone needs to stop going gonzo on the rolls.

If it's three ply you should tell everyone they can use half they use.

Scott toilet paper its used in rvs and septic systems.

Someone's not missing something 😄

Could go to those devious commercial systems that break after a few sheets. Of course you might be found in the septic yourself after a 'revolution.'

Consider a bidet toilet seat.

Everyone gets one roll per month! Bring your own roll 🧻

I say don't ever use the garbage disposal and do a sink flush once a month.

Need to use water

Sounds like you've got a situation like we have. Here's how we dealt with it.

1. Establish a "one flush per wipe" rule. That cuts down on the amount of toilet paper being flushed at once.

2. Try to get everybody to limit themselves to four squares per wipe.

3. Look up septic tank friendly toilet paper brands. They dissolve more easily and biodegrade faster.

That is absolutely ridiculous. 2 rolls a day sounds like someone had tacobell

How cheap was it

That is definitely a lot of toilet paper per day. Two rolls??? Seriously??? You may seriously want to consider the type of paper you are using. In a RV they have to use a special toilet paper that disintegrates easily. Besides the fact that your family uses to much I would recommend looking into RV toilet paper. Your septic system will appreciate you.
