In fourteen hundred ninety-two Columbus discovered America... No Wait...

...well now we know America was discovered long before Columbus sailed the ocean blue. And I guess Native Americans may have a better idea of who discovered what when it comes to this beautiful land.

Way back then, you had to poop in a hole in the ground, very unsophisticated.

The flush toilet was invented more than one hundred years after Columbus in 1596 but its use didn't become widespread until 1851. Before that, the "toilet" was a motley collection of communal outhouses, chamber pots and holes in the ground.

Now that we have modern facilities right in our homes we need to insure they are working properly. A maintenance application of one gallon of Septic Perc flushed down your toilet every six months will help keep your septic system working.
