to each of our customers. Want to know how it works? Keep reading to see why we think this product should be in every septic system owner’s home. Or contact us today to schedule your next septic service.
1. A septic system additive like Waste & Grease Eco-Friendly Digestant
can help keep your system healthy.
If you regularly use anti-bacterial products or flush harsh chemicals down the drain, you may be destroying the “healthy” bacteria needed to break down solids and process waste. An additive contains the right kind of bacteria to help restore balance and keep your tank functioning properly. If your septic system has a history of backups or problems, an additive can help keep things flushing smoothly. By regulating your tank’s bacteria levels, additives break down solids and waste so your tank drains properly and is easy to pump every 2-4 years.
2. A septic system additive can extend the life of your septic system.
If your system is old or you’re not sure how often it was pumped by previous owners, an additive is a cost efficient part of any routine maintenance plan. Waste & Grease Eco-Friendly Digestant
can restore the balance in your septic tank so it can continue functioning properly for years to come. A new septic system is a major expense, so an additive like Bio-Active is a cost-effective way to support the system you have.
3. A septic additive can save you money.
That’s right – keeping your system healthy with a product like Waste & Grease Eco-Friendly Digestant
can save you money on service and repairs. When your system is working as it should, a backup is unlikely and you won’t be charged additional fees for heavy solids disposal during your regular pumping. Not to mention if your old system needs to be replaced, Waste & Grease Eco-Friendly Digestant
can help extend the life of your current system until you're ready to make that investment.
How Does it Work?
Monthly use of Waste & Grease Eco-Friendly Digestant
will help reduce surface and bottom solids in the septic tank. Buildup of surface and bottom solids can carry over to the leach field and cause the leach field to become clogged. Once clogged, the system has nowhere to drain and the tank fills up, causing backup in the home and wet areas in the yard.
Use of Waste & Grease Eco-Friendly Digestant
also restores the biological population of good worker bacteria and enzymes which reduce solids. The beneficial bacteria also get carried over to the leach field to reduce solids and help prevent clogging. A clogged leach field is the biggest problem for septic systems, the hardest and most costly to repair.
