- This must have been discussed several times, but I did not catch any threads.
-
- This is to do with whether a spetic tank ever needs pumping, and whether one
- should add any additive to it.
-
- I know there are several sayings. One saying is that a septic tank should never
- need pumping, nor any additive. Natural bacteria should do the job. Another
- saying is that one should not add any additive, but one needs to have the tank
- pumped every 2 or 3 years. Still some say that if you ever had your septic tank
- pumped, it is an indication that it is not working well, that there is not
- enough bacteria there.
-
- I suppose that by letting detergent, bleaches, soaps. clearners, etc go to the
- septic tank, certain amount of bacteria in the tank will be killed. That means
- that for a long period of time, the septic tank may work less efficiently. So,
- is this a good reason to add bactieria additive to increase the batecria amount?
-
- I just saw an ad for a product called Saniflo, "the natural bacteria additive".
- It claims to be better than other additive on the market, and is USDA approved,
- and can even eliminate any clog in the leaching field (pipes). Has anyone heard
- od this product and/or used? Waht is your opinion? They sell a 6 yr supply for
- $154.00.
