It all depends on the size of the tank, number of wipes, and amount of paper utilized in the wipe. For instance, my mother-in-law (a frequent wiper and cloroxaholic), forced their system to fail a few years back. The tank looked like Toomer's corner after a successful Auburn weekend. Pumping and adopting new habits cured the problem and I know of several other similar situations from a friend who is a county septic inspector ( he loves to tell stories). That being said, most people will not have a problem unless the tank is getting large doses of paper, poo (and/or other waste), water, and bleach. Garbage disposals and grease (dumped down the sink) significantly increase the possibility of septic failure.
