I made 5 gallons of the soap and it worked just fine, but my husband said because it was made of powders and bar soap it will clog our septic tank! Is he right? It is a gel now, and I dilute it before using it.

Call your local plumber and ask. I would think your husband is at least partially right on this...but I am not a plumber, so I suggest asking an expert.
They will want to know every ingredient you used as I find it so odd that antibacterial soaps are bad for septic systems, even if they are liquid...so I think it is more the make up of the items vs. that you will be using in a diluted form.
Post back so we can all learn! Thanks!
You have to be very careful what you put down a septic tank. I would not do it.
Yes, it is safe. Make sure that the water is hot enough to dissolve the powder and the soap. If they do not get dissolved they may clog the pipe on the way to the septic tank. This can build up over time until it completely blocks the pipe.
