We just had our drain line from our septic tank replaced after 35 years of use. Our plumber put in a valve and told us to put mixing salt in it every so often. My question is what is mixing salt? Thank you.

It is saltwater mixed with water and kills off the freshwater bacteria in the tank.
I have never heard of that. It would kill the bacteria, but you need the bacteria for an effective septic tank. I would probably call him and ask.
I lived in a house with a septic tank and our roommate/landlady added probiotic mix type stuff especially designed for septic tanks:

This makes sense if you think about the fact that the septic system is analogous with the colon in the body, and you actually NEED helpful organisms to help everything break down.
This isn't a term I've heard of. It isn't recommended to use any type of salt in your septic tank.
Some people add treatments to the septic tank but they are considered unnecessary and generally speaking do not work. See this link: www.aero-stream.com/
The best thing is to have the tank pumped when it's the right time.
