New information, great! If you wish an uninterrupted source of potable water you may want to install a 2nd septic tank. When it is full treat it with Archaea and depending on the density temp and ph it will be cleaned in about 30 days. All the while tank #2 will be in use until it is full repeat, etc.  A rule of thumb is the waste in the water should not be more than 6% by volume.  In order to clarify this on a case by case basis have it tested by water engineers or purchase some electronic device that measures density or viscosity. For difficult bio waste you may want to add Hydrogen peroxide. H2O2. Most tanks become anaerobic. No O2 no H2O.  Their is no exact answer for your question. Just rule of thumb and adjust to your exact needs. Do remember to record your data. Share with a neighbor.
