Do you have to shut off water to your holding tank. How harmful is the powder you use?
I do not understand what you are asking. What powder?
Hi. How can I sanitize a reverse osmosis system with no filter housing? I’ve one of those you just twist the filter on. Thanks
Use a syringe to put it in the line from the tank to the faucet.
Is this product safe to use if you have a septic system?
Well, you only use a couple of ounces, so unless you were to use a few hundred gallons of it, it is perfectly safe.
