- •Fix running toilets — Report immediately
- •Use low-flow fixtures — When available

- •Keep water flowing steady — Avoid sudden spikes
What NOT to Flush
- ✕Paper towels, napkins, tissues
- ✕Feminine hygiene products
- ✕Diapers or wipes — Even "flushable" wipes
- ✕Cooking grease or food waste
- ✕Chemicals, medications, cleaners
- ✕Cat litter or pet waste
- ✕Paint, solvents, or hazardous materials

- 2.Add a welcome packet guide — Leave printed instructions in all bathrooms and kitchens so guests see it immediately.
- 3.Highlight in your listing — Mention "well-maintained septic system" and "responsible water use required" to set expectations upfront.
- 4.Use Rivio's data — If guests violate septic care terms, back up your charges with water usage data from Rivio monitoring.
Host Success Stories
Real vacation rental hosts sharing how Rivio transformed their septic management
Jennifer Martinez
Airbnb Host, Colorado Mountain Home
I was having emergency septic calls every few months—costing me $2,000+ each time and destroying my guest experience. Since installing Rivio, I know exactly when to pump. Last month alone I saved over $5,000 in emergency calls.
Saved $5,000+ in emergency repairs
David Chen
VRBO Manager, 3 Vacation Properties
Managing septic for 3 properties was a nightmare. Rivio lets me see all three on one dashboard. I caught an issue at property #2 before guests arrived. That early alert saved me a bad review and a $8,000 emergency repair.
Prevented 1 emergency per quarter
Sarah Thompson
Lake House Owner, Wisconsin
My lake house sits empty most of the year. Rivio keeps me informed even when I'm not there. Got alerts about guest water overuse last summer and was able to charge for the extra pumping. Worth every penny.
Recovered $1,200 in guest overuse charges
