Deposits In Plumbing / Septic

[yellowhouse]

We are getting some strange deposits coming into our septic from one of our outlets. Any idea what this might be?

Thanks!

Oh yeah. Let me load my septic tank content identifier app…….

Yes, I had hoped you'd have one of those. Perfect.

... When they came to pump the septic today, they noticed this coming out the outlet. My septic filter has been getting clogged constantly for a few years (despite regular cleaning) and I suspect may be the culprit.

My hunch is it may be water softener related. But hoping someone has come across a similar buildup.

Looks like mason sand to me. Cement tanks break down over time.

Water softener discharge shouldn’t go into the septic.
