Septic system

The most common method of dealing with household waste and wastewater, in rural or unsewered areas, is the septic system. It's function is to receive sewage and grey water and retain it for a period of time. The floatable material undergoes microbial decomposition and forms the floating layer called "scum". The sewage that falls to the bottom only decomposes slightly due to the anaerobic environment and becomes a black layer called "sludge".Between the scum and sludge layer is a liquid commonly called clarified sewage. It is this clarified sewage and only the clarified sewage that should trickle to the leach field when displaced by incoming sewage.

The number one reason for septic system failure is the clogging of the leach field with scum and sludge. Once this happens the liquid stops being absorbed effectively into the soil and begins to surface above ground.

EnviroPro's SSR & SST are not only the solution to this number one septic tank problem but will effectively remove odours that commonly emit from a tank or drainfield where the naturally occurring bacteria are struggling to keep a balance in the tank.

How?

Once our product has been added to the system, bacteria within the system will begin to grow, reproduce and significantly become more active. Some will begin to digest lipids (fats, grease, oils) others will start breaking down nitrogen compounds, plant fibres, lignin, carbohydrates. Odour will disappear withina a few days and eventually, over a period of 10 days to a month, the activated biomass will remove the film, which has prevented the water from being absorbed into the surrounding soil.
