That "HOT LOAD" signage was to make a statement, your hot ****! LMAO

No really, all joking aside that chemical he added made the whole tank "hot" to kill any and all bacteria in it, no matter from you or the place he pumped out before you. they are to add it EVERY time they pump just before they leave the location.

A septic tank works by the bacteria digesting the solids. Is is normal that a shot of bacteria is placed in the tank to reactivate the function of the tank. A tank without bacteria will not function. In the days before additives we used buttermilk and yeast to reactivate a tank that had just been pumped.
