Yes it works , it's basically just bacteria that promotes bacterial growth in the tank . The bacteria is what breaks down solids into liquids .

Yeast cakes , sour milk , raw chicken etc all add bacteria . Healthy bacteria is a vital component to keep a septic system working .

I would recommend to anyone new to septic systems to have the tank pumped out . This gives you a baseline on the tank . The septic guy will tell you how much he pumped out , that tells you what size tank you have.

Generally they are 500/1000/1500 gallons . Ask him how often the tank should be pumped out . Some folks say never , some say every 3 years . Personally I have it pumped out every 10 years .
