The Problem: Because they don’t dissolve, they float in the “scum” layer or sink to the bottom. Eventually, they get sucked into the baffles or the effluent filter.
The Result: They act like a “straitjacket” for your filter, wrapping around it until no water can pass through. This causes the dreaded “backup into the house” scenario.
A $10 pack of wipes can easily lead to a costly emergency service call when your filter gets choked out on a Sunday night.
