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.

How Often Should You Have Your Septic System Pumped?

Posted on June 5, 2017February 14, 2023 by Mark Reynolds

There are many opinions regarding this question. I am in agreement with the theory of having your septic system pumped every two years. I would even go so far as to recommend that you have your drain field lines and distribution box flushed and vacuumed ever five years. The extra prevention and maintenance goes a long way toward saving you money down the road.

It’s also important to inspect the parts of your tank, such as the baffles, and the condition of the tank, including the covers. When I have my system pumped every two years, I add four gallons of Septic Drainer directly in the outgoing line to the drywell. We’ve lived in our house for 19 years and have not had any septic issues. The cost to replace my system would be over $20,000, so it’s well worth the extra maintenance. Take my advice and you will see the same benefits.

As far as the biological health of my system, I add our product Bio-Septic Boost. Approximately 2.5 ounces a month right in your toilet is all it takes. Bio-Septic Boost reduces organic waste material, including a byproduct of hard pan soil called bio-mat.

Septic Pumping: How Often Should I Get It Pumped?

Posted on July 22, 2016February 15, 2023 by

Spetic Drainer: System Pumping You might never really think much about septic pumping, or where the waste goes when flushing a toilet or draining a kitchen sink. Most people with septic systems and septic drain fields are no different. How it all works is a mystery to most.

The main misconception about septic systems is that they have a large tank that holds all that waste until a septic contractor with a large truck is called to empty it. No, this is not the case. What they are really cleaning out is the sludge and grime that doesn’t get processed by the septic components.

If a septic system was not working, it would need to be pumped out at least every few months. Just ask anyone that has a system that is not working right and they can tell you about that!

So then the question becomes just how often is septic pumping necessary with a healthy system? No two households are exactly the same, either in number or lifestyle. The typical time period between cleanings is anywhere from one to three years. The best plan is to have the system inspected annually. Even if the septic tank does not need to be pumped at that time, other necessary maintenance issues can be taken care of, including inspecting the drain field and cleaning the drains and using Septic Drainer, septic drain field repair, to maintain the life of the system.
