Septic tank bacteria treatment is something everyone with a septic tank drain field, cesspit or cesspool should seriously consider. Over the years there has been much controversy concerning the use of septic tank treatments and their impact on septic systems.
Until recently septic system operated relatively independent of any other system requiring no electrical or mechanical power. Conventional septic systems are very basic in their operation. Coil form bacteria are the primary motor in the digestion process of solids produced by the home.
The septic systems typically are constructed of a solid 100 gallon concrete tank. The tank is partitioned into two separate stages. The first side of the tank is the first stop for waste water exiting the home. This is where the digestion process takes place, breaking solids down into liquid efferent. This liquid effluent then flows over the partition into the effluent side of the tank where further digestion takes place. The effluent, powered by the movement of the waste water exiting the house will flow out into the drain field.
The drain field is made up of perforated pipe and buried in crushed stone. A typical septic system is made up of approximately 250 feet of drain field. The digested liquid effluent flows out into the drain field where it leaches into the ground to be furthered filtered and digested before in makes its way back into the water table.
Septic tank bacteria make the digestion process possible. The mechanic and natural hydraulics of the system have been used for thousands of years for this very purpose, digesting solid waste into water and carbon dioxide.
Septic tank bacteria treatments are being used more than ever. Septic tank bacteria treatments can extend the life of your system by years when applied on a regular monthly basis.
