The Ag is probably mostly complexed before it gets there, after passing through your system. It is a concern. I do not know the answer. I know bleach will kill a tank.
Each time you dump you are adding new bacteria to the tank. A useful study for someone to do. I add CS directly to my Domestic water storage tank, about a 1/2 Gal per 1700 gal. Soap/detergents/surfactants are said by most commentators to wreck Ag sols. I do not load my system heavily enough to know if it is failing yet. I do not have a tank since I am using an experimental absorbtion bed called a "Watson Wick". It is an "Infiltrator" device (Plastic:looks like an upside down bathtub with horizontal louvers on the sides) in a bed of pumice covered with native topsoil. No tank. Better digestion; aerobic instead of anarobic, as in tank systems. Solids rapidly reduce to trivial ash. Three infiltrators will handle a 3 BR home w/o tank. Neat trip.
