2002 vol 13 no 1 at page 5 according to this report use of the clothes washer contributes 42 4 liters to the total the shower bath contributes 39 4 liters the toilet 37 9 liters faucets 56 4 liters and the dishwasher 4 2 liters for a family of four the wastewater produced on a daily basis would be about 200 gallons or 1400 gallons per week assuming a mid range value of 10 ppm of accell u00ae cleaning solution would be required it would be desirable to introduce about u215b of an ounce of accell u00ae cleaning solution into the home 39 s wastewater on a daily basis this can be accomplished by adding the accell u00ae cleaning solution into one or more of the commonly used household products mentioned above take for example a liquid clothes washer detergent liquid tide u00ae detergent recommends using about 3 ounces of detergent per normal wash if 12 5 ounces of accell u00ae cleaning solution was added to a 300 ounce container of liquid tide u00ae detergent or if 12 5 ounces of the detergent was replaced with the accell u00ae solution a daily clothes washing would add a sufficient amount of a protein rich cleaning solution to treat the septic system since the accell u00ae cleaning solution has a water content of about 80 and a typical liquid detergent also contains a large percentage of water the accell u00ae solution could also be substituted for water during the formulation.
