Silver Nitrate is a antiseptic, a bactericide. You don't want it in a
septic system as it will have that effect on the flora that breaks down
waste. There's a lot of silver in the fixer when it's exhausted,
something like 90% of the amount originally present, you can recover
that.or you can build your own which considering the price of silver might
be worth while. You might want to look into one of these.

I believe that the dissolved silver in fixer is part of a sulpher compund
(silver sulphite).
I could be wrong though.
Did the OP ever say if he was using a septic field or just a tank that was
pumped out periodically?
