How A Septic Tank Works: Septic Tank Treatment | Organica Biotech

My septic tank has not been opened since about 1970. Seems like the microbes do a very good job!

Biggest problem people have with septic systems is not having enough water going through the system, Ive seen people divert grey water to their gardens, in theory it sounds good, but in practice it isnt, septic systems require water flow to keep them performing to a required level, or the tanks can fill up with solids and block the whole system, which would require more expense getting the tanks pumped out, another thing I would strongly consider to do, the water from your kitchen sink must/should pass through a Grease Trap to help stop as much grease and fats from reaching your septic tanks, as over time the grease and fats left unchecked will stop the drainage of the leach drains, hope this information is considered, I have owned houses with septic systems for the pass 40 years.

So basically you have a tank full of pets you have to feed

I had a remarkably septic day a few years ago when the plumbers told me that a sewer pipe from my house was diverted to the the woods 250ft away . Suddenly the all bad smells made sense, my sewage was going down there for 1/2 year . I was mad at the previous owner for doing this instead fixing the problem with the septic system. Cost me $$$.

I recently learned that blending rotting tomatoes and dumping the sludge in the toilets provides good enzymes for digesting the solids. I have tried it, it got rid of the smell that was coming from the toilet.

I love the inspirational music along with the story of my fecal matter being described to be in an educational form.

This is my first time to know how sceptic tank works and I was so amazed haha... and it hasn't been touch since 1999.

Also do not flush wipes. Even though it says flushable, they are not biodegradable, which means they will gather up causing clogs

I've seen some people not able to fully clean septic tank by suction machine. There so much solid slugs left. In my opinion- if you have a septic tank for black water only, it will never cause problem. Once you start diverting soil, soap, surf, it will cause problems. Soil will never be decomposed and so settle down, secondly soap will kill enzyme/bacteria.

The audacity of municipalities charging resident homeowners property taxes without investing in public sewage treatment facilities or public water infrastructure is outrageous. I mean, where does the money go? Mayoral salaries and pensions? Ridiculous.

Just use 2 separate tanks, when one fills up, divert the inlet to the second tank. Over time, the first tank dries up and decomposes, and turns into fertiliser.

You should think about creating a brown gas collection system. The tank will make methane and co2. As long as you carefully siphon the gas you should have a safe supply of gas for cooking. Also the tank itself is a good way to fertilize your ground.

Our septic tank hasnt been touch since late 1980's....still fine until today.

We have a throw disposal septic system on our property...... We shit in a bag and throw the bag in a spinning motion. Takes a bit of skill u don't want the bag to fling open mid or pre flight. At the back of the property it is piled up in a mound of bags..... we call it mud brick. We used to have a septic tank........ But it cracked the shits.

What would be the ideal agent or ideal way to clean my toilet and bathtub so I don't kill the bacteria in the septic tank?

If they multiply why do you need to add them every month?

After building the septic tank should we full it up with water first then start use

When used and cared for properly, they never need to be opened/drained.

Does the Bioclean have essential microbes(EM)?

If I had one wish I would wish that everyone in the world had perfect plumbing.
