Septic System FAQ #1- CAN I POUR SEPTIC DRAINER DIRECTLY IN MY SEPTIC TANK?

Answer: No, it’s better to apply Septic Drainer directly in the drain lines by accessing the “Distribution Box”. The Distribution Box is usually about 10’ off the septic tank. If there is no Distribution Box simply use a hose about 15’-20’ long and insert the hose in the outgoing line (effluent line) from the tank to the drain field and pour the product using the hose with a funnel. It may be better to dig up the outgoing line to the drain field and install a clean out for future access. (All very easy and common practice.)

Septic System FAQ #2- CAN I APPLY SEPTIC DRAINER WITH A BACTERIA TREATMENT?

Answer: Yes you can. Septic Drainer is applied in the drain field while the bacterium is applied in the septic tank.

Septic System FAQ #3- HOW LONG DOES SEPTIC DRAINER TAKE TO WORK?

Answer: The normal time is about three weeks, but could take longer or shorter depending on the system failure. In some cases because of hydraulic loading of ground water, a system may never drain completely. But it will not back-up with regular maintenance and an application of Septic Drainer every six months.

Distribution Box - Septic Drainer

Septic Distribution Box

Once in the Septic Tank, gravity then causes the liquefied sewage to flow to a small box known as the septic Distribution Box. By running liquefied sewage into this one box that has multiple out-pipes, you can spread the waste water evenly across your entire drain / leach field.

Once the waste water has entered the drain / leach field it then leaks out of small weep holes in the bottom of the drain field pipes. After making its way out of these drain pipes, the wastewater is then naturally filtered through dry soil until it once again becomes clean ground water.

And that’s it! As you can see there’s really not a whole lot to to the process.

Waste water (sewage) drains from your home into your Septic Tank.
Your Septic Tank turns solids into liquid through “Microbial Digestion.”
Baffles in your septic tank separate and only allow liquids to flow out.
Liquid Sewage flows from your Septic Tank to your “Distribution Box.”
In the distribution box, waste water flows evenly into your Drain Field Pipes.
The wastewater then drains from small weep holes in the drain field pipes deep into the ground.
After the liquefied sewage (waste water) has filtered through 36 inches of bacteria colonized soil, it once again becomes clean ground water.
