Having your own septic system means you're "off the grid" for your sewage needs. If a septic system is designed correctly, it should work well and be perfectly sanitary. However, care and regular maintenance are required to keep the system running well.
About SeptoBac
-
Homeowners may choose to use a biological treatment, such as SeptoBac. The product is made up of billions of bacteria that are engineered to break down such things as paper, wipes, chemicals and fats. (Be aware that these things are supposed to be kept at a minimum in the first place.)

When to Use
-
Flush two pouches of the powder down the toilet, followed by one weekly pouch for maintenance. A sluggish system can be treated with two pouches every other day for two weeks. A liquid version of SeptoBac hangs in the toilet tank and needs to be replaced once a month.
