As for too much slope, I don't truely know that answer.  I will say though that your dogs are not using paper.  Are they?  The waste should do fine with a greater than 1/4" slope.  In my kennels, I know I spray more than a gallon of water in each pen.  My hose is full of pressure.  When you flush the toliet, there is between 1-2 gallons going down.  I would venture to say when I was all 8 stalls in the kennel, there is somewhere between 20-50 gallons being used.  That is a guess at the best though.  As for the bleach question, I try to bleach the pens down at least twice a month to cut down on bacteria and algae.  Currently, I don't use a septic, I use chickens to scratch the waste up.  They keep it turned over good.  I don't buy feed, but they do lay plenty of eggs.  Makes you want to come over for breakfast, doesn't it?
