I have a cottage with a grey water pit for the shower. The pit is clean, it is about 5 feet by 5 feet by 5 feet deep filled with 2 -3 inch stone and landscaping fabric to stop the leaves and grass but there are roots that get in there and plug off the effluent pipe. I am OK for a year of two but then I have to dig it up and pull out the root ball that has accumulated at the outlet and then everything is fine.
I am thinking of putting a soil sterilant or blue stone down the drain once a month to keep it clean... will it work?
