I am using a water Ioniser that produces Alkaline water for drinking. As a waste product, the unit produces Acid water that goes down the drain. The house is using a septic system. How is this scenario going to affect the natural flora and working of the septic system ?

Unless the ratio is way out of line you should be fine. It getting diluted with the other products being added and also other water that is going down the drain.

Milk, egg, coffee and orange juice are stronger acids than what your unit is making. Should be perefectly fine. One flush of human solids will give a mild acid a run for its money
