Of all the septic additives we have tested,
TRI-ZYME is the only one that actually works to clear up
septic tanks and leech fields. It is also the least expensive

State, has been used by farmers
and ranchers for over 50 years. Testimonial

Alternatives: Take preventative measures.
Avoid putting items down your sink or toilet that
bacteria cannot digest or that disrupt their environment.
Undigestible items include grease, fat, hair, cigar
and cigarette butts, filters, facial tissues, paper
towels, napkins, sanitary napkins, and Band-Aids.
Be wary of products claiming to clean septic tank.
Many of these products temporarily precipitate solid
giving the illusion of success, but actually they
produce solid bulk which is more difficult for bacteria
and microorganisms to break down. Many septic tank
cleaners also change the water's acidity, causing
many bacteria to die. |
Products containing sodium or potassium hydroxide
(lye) are highly caustic to humans. They also change
the acidity of the water and speed soil clogging. Septic
tank cleaners containing organic solvents such as trichloroethylene
should never be used because they are toxic, take a very
long time to break down in the environment, and have
been shown to contaminate the ground water.
Cleaners which claim that their "enzymes" will
help septic tank digestion have not been found to be effective
Bacteria and microorganisms in your septic tank produce
their own enzymes and eat only as much as their own enzymes
can digest. If your septic tank seems sluggish or overwhelmed, flush a small
amount of soil down the drain to replenish the bacteria and microorganisms
in your septic tank. Each teaspoon of soil contains hundreds of microorganisms.
