SeptoBac^® Septic System Treatment Pouches

SeptoBac^® Septic System Treatment provides convenient, continuous, and effective septic system maintenance. The SeptoBac formula contains billions of bacteria, specially selected by leading environmental scientists. These bacteria produce enzymes which digest both organic and difficult-to-degrade septic waste such as paper, wipes, cleaning and laundry chemicals, oils and grease. SeptoBac special bacteria strains also have greater resistance to anti-bacterial soaps and cleaners which can reduce the number of regular bacteria in your septic tank. SeptoBac also contains microbial nutrients to stimulate bacterial growth within the septic system. Regular use assures continuous enzyme action, reducing the risk of septic back-up and frequent pumping. Weekly use also helps to prevent offensive odours by keeping drain fields clear.

SeptoBac septic tank treatment helps in the natural process by:

1. Providing nutrients for the natural bacteria to grow and maintain an effective population throughout the system.
2. SeptoBac bacteria are specially bred to break down difficult-to-degrade waste.
3. SeptoBac bacteria are more resistant to chemicals that can kill regular bacteria.

For regular maintenance:

• SeptoBac Pouches – Weekly flush 1 envelope down toilet.
• SeptoBac Dissolvable Pacs – Monthly flush 1 dissolvable pac down toilet.
• Septo Bac 3 in 1 Formula – Monthly Pour 1/3 of bottle down any drain or toilet.

For sluggish septic systems, we recommend using SeptoBac Septic System Treatment pouches and increasing treatment to 2 pouches every other day for 2 weeks, then return to the regular maintenance treatment using one SeptoBac pouch weekly.

SeptoBac products are safe for all septic systems and holding tanks including boats, RV’s, composts, cesspools, chemical toilets and outside toilets.

Each of the SeptoBac Septic Treatments provide convenient, continuous and effective septic treatment. The pouches and dissolvable pacs contain billions of bacteria per gram of powder. These specially selected bacteria produce enzymes, which digest both organic and difficult-to-degrade septic waste and have greater resistance to anti-bacterial soaps and cleaners. SeptoBac also contains microbial nutrients to stimulate bacterial growth. Both the weekly pouch and monthly dissolvable pacs are flushed down the toilet to provide continuous system maintenance.

The SeptoBac liquid formula prevents costly septic back-ups by breaking down both organic and difficult-to-digest waste and contains microbial nutrients to stimulate bacterial growth. This triple action liquid formula is applied into any drain or toilet, which helps to maintain a smooth running fresh drain.

We recommend having the tank inspected and pumped if needed. The company inspecting the tank should be able to tell you its’ size, age and condition.

Most experts recommend pumping every 2 – 5 years. This will depend on the number of people in the household, the volume of wastewater that enters the tank, the amount of solids in the wastewater, and the size or volume of the tank.

There are a number of signs indicating a problem with your septic system:

• Odours may be noticeable.
• A black-grey odourous liquid may accumulate at the soil surface.
• Liquid drains slower than normal or backs up.
• Grass over the system appears greener and soggy or may be spongy to walk on.
• The water level in the septic tank is higher than the outlet pipe.

Septic systems can freeze in periods of extremely cold temperature when there is little snow cover on the ground. If this happens you should call a qualified professional to defrost pipes. Never add antifreeze or salt to the tank or try to run water continuously to defrost the system.

It is best to use liquid detergents or concentrated detergents that don’t contain phosphates. Avoid antibacterial soaps and cleansers since they will kill off the bacteria within your septic system. Remember it is important to keep an adequate level of bacteria to ensure effective operation of your septic system.

Trees and shrubs should be avoided due to potential damage from aggressive roots. Fruits and vegetables should also be avoided since the garden soil and/or the fruits and vegetables can become contaminated with pathogens if the system is not working properly. Meadow grasses, turf grasses, and small shallow-rooted ornamental grasses and plants are a good suggestion for covering your drain field or leaching bed; they can look nice and require little maintenance. Keep in mind not to overload your drain field with too much watering.
