Septic Tank Bacteria: Totally failed septic system:

If you had a totally failed septic system and want to bring it back to life with septic bacteria, This can be done by adding one packet of BioForce Bacterial Waste Liquefier down your toilet once a week.

If you have an inspection port on your septic tank, You can monitor the change in the tank bacteria just by looking into it. It may take 2 or more weeks before a noticeable change in the septic tank’s waste scum layer{The top floating layer in a septic tank}. You will see it look more liquefied. If it’s going in this direction, Just keep adding one packet of BioForce Bacterial Waste Liquefier to the septic tank once a week until it’s totally liquefied. 

     If after 2 or 3 weeks nothing has changed, Flush one packet every 3 days down your toilet until you see a change in the septic tank, then go back to a once-a-week packet until totally liquefied.

Please micro-manage your water usage to use as little water as possible during this time and do not use anything anti-septic. Flush only when you have to. Once the good bacteria populate the tank and clean it up, They will then enter the drain field to go to work on it then.

This is still way cheaper than a new septic system installed.

RV toilet paper was designed to break down very fast into a small holding tank in an RV holding tank, To be dumped at an RV dumping station generally found at Camp Grounds and Truck Stops. These dumping stations have requirements of the septic waste being pumped into their advanced treatment systems and one of them is a low bleach content. Bleach is a killer of good septic tank bacteria.

Do septic tanks shake rattle and roll?

    Please keep in mind that RV toilet paper breaks down when the RV is moving also. Septic tanks in a home do not move unless there is an aeration treatment unit installed that would at some point in time during the day, will help mix the septic waste solution, grow septic tank bacteria and help break down the toilet paper. Aeration treatment units also counteract the bleach in the toilet paper over time.

 

 The best toilet paper for septic tank systems:

Next is a single-ply toilet paper.The “Soft” toilet paper is very bad for septic tanks because it takes a long time to break down, Unlike single-ply toilet paper.
