Is this a bad idea? I dont want my septic tank to go nutty and not decompose, or feed any roots that may be going into the septic. Any thoughts if I should avoid this?

Put it on the lawn or in the beds, don't waste it. My yard loves it on everything.

Use that water for all your house plants and put the rest on the lawn.

I'm pretty sure if it can handle decomposing human waste, then it can handle your rez water. Remember, humanure has lots of N. I also have a septic tank, which is why anything i put down the drain is biodegradable/organic.
