Septic System Care

[bknowlton]

I hate to interupt a good squabble, but one should not judge the effectiveness of a septic SYSTEM treatment by what is in the tank. Most additives are highly recommended by the tank pumping companies because they keep the tanks clean and easy to pump. The additives do this by not allowing the solids to properly settle. Therefore, your leach line is having to deal with solids that it is not designed to handle and may eventually fail. It is only a question of transmisivity of the material surounding the leach line and time.

Heres the facts. Do you research and you'll see that here is the real deal lowdown on septic tank treatments.

1) Chemicals do more harm than good. Dont use chemicals to treat a failing or failed system.

2) Bacterial products DO WORK. Septic treatment plants use them and so do hundreds of thousands of major treatment needy companies such as pulp, farm, glue and chemical processing plants. Find a potent product and buy it if your blocked up. Replacing a drain field can run 30k in some states. Dojt let the pumper talk you out of atleast trying bacterial remediation before you go replacing the field.

3) Our crap contains coliform suitable to breakdown what we produce and in the early 1700's, that was sufficient. With the invent of antibacterial soaps, bleaches, detergents, cleaners, medicines, paints chlorine form the tap and everthing else we use that kills bacteria, septic tanks can no longer function liek they should and you NEED to make sure you have bacterial addidtive in order to ELIMINATE...YES ELIMINATE pumpouts and avoid a clogged and congested drainfield that stinks.

Thats the facts.... The rest is opinion without merrit.

Who's facts sir?
You have offered only unsubstatiated opinion and no supporting evidence and then you tell us to do the research to prove your assertions. I have researched this issue and independant studies from more several universities do not support your FACTS.

Coming from a large Mormon and Catholic family that don't know what birth control is, I literally have hundreds of relatives in Idaho, Utah, and Texas who are now, at my recommendation, using bioorganic additives. All of them have reported at the various family reunions that their septic systems are working better than ever and require less yearly maintenance and more time between pumping. Perhaps it only works for my family members. Anyone wanna join? Let me know and I'll get our membership package to you with all its requirements, including the annual membership fee of $99 but, for a limited time only, available to readers here for just $29. And there are hundreds of benefits.
