Any anti-bacterial in your septic is not a good idea. As far as I know the septic works on bacteria breaking down the "matter" in the system. If you kill the bacteria you will soon be calling the septic cleaning people. As far as salt in the grass. Oh yeah and it will take 2 years to return. I still have some bald spots in my yard from this. I figured the rain would wash it away, which it does, but unfortunatly the grass will go with it. Although it would cut back on the mowing this summer if you did the whole yard in it!
Many towns and counties have rules regarding disposal of waste salt.
NO it is a very bad idea. The acids can damage the concrete tank very bad, bad enough to require it to be replaced. The acids, salts and bactericides cna also cause serious damage to the drain fields. Don't do it. I know from experience.
