Biosystems : Septic Tank Reviver : Eco Home

STR is a remarkable product. It’s like sending a detachment of crack troops to boost a tired army.

As modern man’s eating habits have changed the demands on municipal sewage works have increased. This rings true for septic tanks too. While sewage works are equipped to handle these changing loads, however, the average septic tank is not. Cumulative distress depletes the efficacy of the benign bacteria working in your tank. As the population of microbes struggling to digest the excess of fats decreases, the soakaway clogs, the chambers start to smell and overflow, and the system dies.

An inoculation of STR ‘soldiers’ will change all this.

How?

STR is packed in soluble pouches that dissolve quickly in water. Upon soaking, the air dried microbes ‘wake up’ from their suspended animation and, kick-started by the incorporated nutrients and enzymes, voraciously attack the biological effluent into which they have been introduced. The microbes rapidly proliferate, increasing their biomass in proportion to the nutrient supply. As they ‘eat’ their way through the congested sewage they break the solids down into harmless, natural substances (namely water and biogasses). They work thoroughly through the chambers cleaning the gummed up weir pipes and bends, dissolving the solidified surface crusts and the biological detritus in the tank. Most importantly, they break the ‘gel’ choking the soakaway, reviving the system and enabling it to perform at its peak.

STR is supplied in a very easy-to-use soluble DIY 25g pack. It is safe to use anywhere and can be dosed directly into the septic tank or simply down the toilet bowl.

A thorough mechanical ‘pump out’ will cost more than STR treatment and will need to be repeated as it only removes the contents of the tank and does not decongest the all-important soakaway. Many tanks are inaccessible and considerable damage to fences and gardens may be incurred – plus there’s the mess and the inconvenience. By administering a maintenance dose of STR every three months (or as required) to boost the microbial population eroded by harsh sanitizers and excess fats, your system will remain healthy and trouble free indefinitely.
