:Yes a dishwasher if O.K. Septic tanks are typically sized by the number of bedrooms which has a correlation to the number of people which relates to a design flow. As long as your not exceeding this design flow, whether it is from a dishwasher, shower or laudry machine you O.K. Normal use of house hold detergints are O.K. Stay away from drain cleaners, toilet bowl automatic disinfectants. Normal means follow the instructions. Additives for Septic tanks are not nessecary!
