Been on a treatment plant the last 26 years. Only had to have it pumped out once.
No grease down the drain is a must. If you have a air pump, keep it going. And adding Rid X is good thing to do. No problems using a garbage disposal at all.
The only problem I have with my system is that I have a lift pump that pumps gray water. That pump does burn up about every 2-3 years. A PITA cause I have to dig up the top of that tank which is about 6" down. Had just done that about two weeks ago.

This is the key distinction. There is a treatment plant and there is a septic tank. I've had a plant for 28 years and had it pumped out twice. No grease down the drain. But there is no need for Rid X in a plant.
