Domestic Treatment Plant &
Septic Tank Products
Septic tanks are designed to be an active living ecosystem, relying on bacteria to effectively break down wastes. Attempting to remove bad odours with a cocktail of harmful chemicals such as bleach or disinfectant may kill the smell for a short time, but also kills the “good” bacteria, allowing “bad” bacteria to thrive and resulting in an even smellier dead tank. A spray of AquaBoost Waste Water Booster after every flush will gradually bring the tank back to life.
In severe cases a complete pump-out and restart may be necessary. Add AquaBoost Waste Water Starter to inoculate the newly filled tank with “good” bacteria and get it off to a good start. To maintain healthy activity you have to be careful of what goes down the drain. Remember, bleaches, disinfectants and antibiotics are designed to kill all bacteria, not just the “bad” guys.
