Septic Tanks
Enzymatic for septic tanks
Enzymatic will eliminate the foul smells caused by a variety of organic substances including blood, vomit, milk, cigarette smoke, urine and faeces, body odours, drains, septic tanks and rubbish bins.Enzymatic is not a ‘pleasant smelling’ masking agent
How does it work?
Enzymatic is a sophisticated blend of fermented natural products, multi nutrients, inorganic salts and biodegradable surfactants which is specifically formulated to rapidly and safely eliminate organic waste material.
Enzymatic breaks down the complex waste molecules into progressively smaller less complex elements which in turn act as a food source for the existing bacteria present in the system. The bacteria can then multiply and accelerate the digestion of the waste material.
The surfactants present in Enzymatic helps to reduce the fatty particle size and breaks apart surface accumulation of oily materials. The surfactant itself also becomes a food source.
It doesn’t happen overnight…..
A biological process takes time. Enzymatic is not an instant answer, but it is a lasting answer.
What makes Enzymatic so different from the other bio products?
The main point of difference between enzymatic and other bio additives is that enzymatic does not solely rely on the enzymes or bacteria in the product to work. Rather the efficiency of enzymatic is determined by the products ability to provide a package of essential nutrients required to stimulate and accelerate the digestion of organic waste.
The benefits of bio cleaners
• Enzymatic breaks down sludge accumulation – it targets and digests the organisms that cause sludge build up and prevents their return
• Combines immediate control with long term destruction
• Prevents the septic tank from becoming clogged
• Keeps the system and pipes free flowing
• Extends the durability of the septic tank and soakaway
• Reduce the frequency and costs of septic tank pump outs
• Will also control and eliminate organic odours
• It is a natural solution harmless to humans and animals
• Environmentally friendly, non-toxic and safe to use
• Economical and easy to apply
• Good for the environment
Where can it be used
For all plumbing installations that are on a septic tank drainage system, for example:
• domestic homes
• rural properties
• hotels and restaurants
• national parks
• sports clubs
• holiday camps
Also recommended for mobile homes, caravans, boats, pit latrines, composting toilets and portable camping toilets.
Recommended dosage
Recommended dosage rates are subject to several factors including the waste water system design, water flow rate, size of septic tank, the presence of any anti microbial products and client treatment objectives.
- An initial ‘shock dose’ is required to kick start the system followed by regular weekly dose whilst the problem persists. In bad cases it is recommended that a daily dose be applied for a period of 7 – 10 days. Adjust the dosage according to the situation and results.
- Apply product in the evening when activity is relatively quiet and this will allow product to work in the system overnight.
- Add the recommended dosage of Enzymatic to a bucket of water (add enzymatic to water and stir gently – if you add water to enzymatic there will be foaming)
- Pour majority of the dose into toilet at the furthest point from the septic tank. This will allow the product to work through the pipe network. Flush.
- Can also apply dosage to other toilets, sinks, bath and shower. Run tap for a short time to wash away product. This gets the product into all the pipe networks.
- The process is not instant, but the grease and fats will start to dissolve and positive results will become noticeable.
Compatibility
Enzymatic works by stimulating the activity of microorganisms naturally present in the substrate. However, in any situation where bacterial activity is inhibited by abnormally low (acidic) or abnormally high (alkaline) conditions, the presence of biocides, very low or very high temperatures, high concentrations of salts and high concentrations of harsh chemicals, then Enzymatic will not correct these problems. It can only stimulate biological activity when other limiting factors are also controlled.
