Personal Hygiene
When considering products to use for soaps and body wash
we strongly advise looking for the following; organic ingredients, PH
balanced, low-phosphorous or phosphorous-free, non-toxic, biodegradable
products, low in sodium and sulphur.
A Note On ‘Greywater and Septic Safe’ / ‘Biodegradable’
Whilst most of the time products labeled as ‘greywater safe’, ‘septic safe’, or
‘biodegradable’ are safe for use in your treatment system. Many plant-based
cleaners are powerful antibacterials. Some products marketed as ‘Green’
or ‘biodegradable’ can be more damaging to our environment than more
traditional cleaning products. When selecting cleaning products, if in doubt,
always look for products that are phosphate-free or low phosphate.
Too Much Of Anything Is A Bad Thing
When using cleaning products in your home, always remember that too much
of anything can harm the good bacteria in your system. Moderation is key.
Please Note
If your technician notices there is a problem, they may recommend that you
limit the use of specific products (even if it is listed here as suitable).
Taylex promotes the use of low phosphorus, phosphorus free, low sodium &
low sulphur products. This practice will reduce the phosphorus levels released
to the environment and prolong the life of your phosphorus removal filter (if
fitted).
