Can a septic tank take the brine flush that comes with them?
Yes. I grew up in a house built in the 50's that had a 300 gallon septic tank. That house had a water softener on it for at least 30 years I knew about. Dumping into the septic tank. The septic tank dumped into the field tile that went to the creek but that's another story.
As a plumber working for a water softener co I installed 1000's and dumped them into septic tanks. Never an issue. In later years with the advent of aerobic septic systems the state of TX decided that it was not acceptable. We did it any way without any issues. My personal residence has had water softener dumping into an aerobic system of over 10 years with no problems.
