Why your tank needs help...
Wastewater separates into layers in the septic tank. This is where the process of decomposition begins. Bacteria begin to digest the solids that have settled to the bottom of the tank, transforming up to 50 percent of these solids into liquids and gases.
Different soaps make it possible to kill bacteria and clog the pipes in the leach lines. With these holes clogged, proper drainage does not occur and waste water can pool in the yard. High doses of cleaners, bleach, antibiotic drugs, or a sudden change in the Ph of the system can kill off a large number of beneficial bacteria. A system’s biological community can recover through reproduction and replenishment after a boost of a bacterial additive.
