About septic tank cleaners
We have taken the time to list a website about septic tanks. Please take your time to browse around.The below article is compliments of: http://www.epa.gov/grtlakes/seahome/housewaste/house/septic.htm
Cleaners which claim that their enzymes
will help septic tanks
digest better 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.
Use: Avoid septic tank cleaners containing organic solvents. If you are
using a septic tank cleaner that contains lye products or sodium
bisulfate, wear gloves, goggles, and a respirator with an organic vapor
cartridge to avoid fumes and splashes.
Storage: Store out of the reach of children. If the cleaner is in a
glass jar, store it inside a plastic container and clearly label the
outside of the container with the contents. Store on a high shelf or in
a locked cabinet.
