Well I know my toilet was in my LR for a bit  :D  eventually a snake was put to use and septic tank was emptied. Apparently some other things were done as well. All that matters is, it's done, it's paid for and everything works  :)

Did they explain how to look after your septic system? but if I recall correctly i think no matter how you look after them you have to pump them out sooner or later??

Yes, some things were explained and some suggestions were given.

The one my parents have on the island, needs to be pumped out every 5-7 years. Its a septic field type, but still needs to be pumped out. They flush down tablets once a week to facilitate the bacteria breakdown.

I thought about using the same type of product. The septic man actually suggested buttermilk as a better alternative. Never heard of using buttermilk though so I'm not sure if I'll go that route or not.

Havent heard of buttermilk either, but to be honest, you just need something that rots quick with a high concentration of microbes for breaking down the sewage.
Dairy products are usually good, so buttermilk would work.
Onboard the vessels, we leave chunks of chicken out for a few days, then throw it into the sewage plant. We could use the chemicals and tablets we have, but bits of chicken thats gone off works REALLY well. You just want something to jump the microbe count for the sewage breakdown. Most times it isnt needed, but if any chemical goes down the toilet, it kills all the microbes. Which is why most companies tell you to put in the chemicals.. it will restart the microbes if they have been killed off. The tablets are also good because they are time delay release.. in other words it will continue to work over a few days, if chemicals are still killing off microbes...
