Aeration treatment septic tank units and the recent Canadian wildfires by septictankbacteria.com

Recently, there was a massive wildfire in Canada. The wind picked up thick, particle-filled smoke. It covered the Midwest to the eastern United States.

I even smelled it. The air was very thick! Our phones rang off the hook. People wanted an answer about their Aeration treatment septic tank units. Aeration treatment septic tank units and the recent Canadian wildfires, we have a tip for you!

What is an Aeration treatment septic tank unit?

An aeration treatment septic tank unit is a pump. It takes clean air from the outside and pressures it. It then sends the air through a tube onto an aeration septic tank diffused.

The air is high pressure and the diffuser is fine pore. These clean air fine pores will bubble up the tank. They mass produce aerobic bacteria. The bacteria are then dosed into a leach field or drain field. This is very basic in its description of the operation of your aeration treatment septic tank unit.

The aeration treatment septic tank pump:

The aeration treatment septic tank pump is the heart of your advanced treatment septic tank! It is housed in an “aeration pump dog house” where its only requirement besides electricity is clean air.

From this clean air, your septic treatment unit can breed high-quality septic bacteria. If you do not have clean air, Your septic system stop working.

If you are using our BioForce Bacterial Waste Liqueifier, you can go 2 months without any worries. Your aeration treatment septic tank pump will continue to work as it should. This is why we do recommend BioForce Bacterial Waste Liqueifier. We recommend it even if you have an advanced septic system like an aeration treatment septic tank system.

Your aeration treatment dog house:

On your aeration treatment dog house, You will have round circles with a screen in them. It’s an open mesh designed to keep out animals. It is not designed to take in wildfire-thick air.

What you can do is add a do-it-yourself pre-aeration treatment unit air filter. Keep in mind there should be an air filter on top of your aeration treatment pump. It is not designed for wildfires’ thick air. It is designed to filter clean air only.

We go to Lowes Home Improvement and get a blue cut-to-size filter. We cover the holes on your aeration treatment dog house. Then, we use it as a pre-filter.

Look up Lowes Home Improvement item# 552965. You can reuse them when they get dirty, Just hand wash them and let them dry then reinstall them. You can use strong tape that is the same color of your dog house.

We hope that this tip helps you and your septic system work better! I also hope you do not ever need this tip but if you do, You already know what to do!

August Is The Thanksgiving Septic Tank.

     Right now, your septic tank, drain field, or cesspool is working very hard. It is keeping up with the demands you are placing on it. Long showers, washing clothes, and doing the dishes all contribute to this. Every ounce of water that goes down a drain will end in your septic tank, taking up space. August is the Thanksgiving septic tank.

     Every day makes your septic tank system a day older and it is not new anymore. It takes more time to digest the waste before it goes out to your older drain field.


     Time and space is very important for septics. The more space you have in your septic tank, the better it operates. It works more efficiently with additional space. Give your septic tank drain field time to rest. Avoid introducing any new wastewater. The longer you can leave it alone, the better. If you can go without using any water in the home for a long time, that is beneficial. This allows the drain field to dry out completely.

     Right now, to prepare your septic drain field and tank for Thanksgiving, you need to manage water usage carefully. Reduce the amount of water going down your drains. Do whatever it takes to limit the waste of water down any drain. If you have a divert, switch it to the resting drain field. This will give your drain field time to rest also. It is also a good time to pump your septic tank dry. Clean it up and begin using low-cost BioForce Bacterial Waste Liquefier. Use 2 packets right after pumping your septic tank and then one every month after.
     If your septic tank septic system was designed for your long-term needs, your Thanksgiving should be a happy occasion. It should not turn into an emergency one!

Do septic tank “cleaners” work?

Do septic tank “cleaners” work?


     Septic tank products claim a lot and most dream up marketing ways to get people to buy their “Miracle” product. Sadly we field calls from people asking us questions about other products with such claims, and a “septic tank cleaner” is one of them. Do septic tank “cleaners” work?
      Let me say this right now, there is no bacterial”septic tank cleaner” that cleans your septic tank like a pump truck. You can not buy any “septic tank cleaner” and expect to clean your drain field overnight even if they use the word “guaranteed” in their marketing of the product.

Here is what happens when you buy one.

What we do find is that some “septic tank cleaner”s move the contents of a solid abused septic tank and feed that into your expensive drain field to clog it up, And when that clogs up everything stops dead and you can not use any water in your home or office. Not a good place to be as you have to spend big bucks to replace that drain field and pump that septic tank when if you just pumped that septic tank before you purchased a “septic tank cleaner”, You would have saved money.
     Now on the other side of the coin, If you wanted to keep your septic tank working like it was designed to and used a septic tank bacteria every month to keep it working and let the septic bacteria digest your septic waste over time and working with Mother Nature, You would not be replacing your septic drain field due to clogging from a “septic tank cleaner”.
     If you have not pumped your septic tank in many years, I suggest you use BioForce Septic Tank Bacterial Liquefier, One packet once a week into your toilet at night until you see the septic tank waste start to digest, Then use one packet of the BioForce Bacterial Waste Liquefier every 2 weeks until you see a noticeable reduction in septic waste, then use 1 packet once a month from then on.     By taking out advice you could save your expensive septic leach field and get your septic tank back to where it was designed to operate.

Septic Tank Treatment during the Covid-19 virus.


     How you feed your septic tank with septic tank bacteria during the Covid-19 virus will make or break your winter.  The septic tank product you use today may stop a septic tank failure in the winter. Septic tank bacteria take time as it is controlled by Mother Nature who takes her time.  Using a septic bacteria product right now will not guarantee a septic tank failure during the winter nut may give your system a chance to get through the winter. If you see signs of your septic tank failing, I suggest you get it pumped right away or stop using all water for a week and I mean no water is to go down the drain at all for a solid week so the tank and drain field can drain down on its own if it can. We suggest during this time to drop one packet of BioForce Bacterial Waste Liquefier into your septic tank cleanout if you can open it up and close it and keep the area totally safe from anybody or animals from getting hurt. If you can not do this, You can flush one packet down the closest toilet to the tank. Do this every 2 days while your septic system is resting. You can also put a packet of BioForce Bacterial Waste Liquefier down the cleanout between the septic tank and drain field. If you can let your system rest for longer then a week, all the better for your system.  Some septic drain fields have a key to divert waste from a septic tank to another drain field to let the other drain field rest for 2 years. Having 2 drain fields will help your septic system work better with mother nature. Not every septic tank system has 2 drain fields but the better ones do.


      With the above tips, You may get through the winter without a septic failure.

Your Christmas is special and who wants it ruined with a septic tank or drain field back up? It happens way too much and with a little planing you can enjoy a working septic tank, drain field and Christmas at the same time!Christmas in July septic tank plan starts in July!

Christmas in July septic tank bacteria plan:

     Since it’s the middle of July right now, You have borrowed time. Mother Nature does not work overnight but she works when YOU work with her. She is forgiving and only a little bit.

Christmas in July septic water “Diet”:

     Put your septic tank and drain field on a water diet. Do not use any extra water at all. Running the water when you shave or brush your teeth is wasting water and that wasting water goes into your septic tank and drain field.
     Wash only full loads of laundry. Anything less then a over stuffed full load is just adding water to your septic tank system and drain field and killing the good bacteria. Doing the most 2 loads of overstuffed laundry a week is the maximum amount. Anything more must go to a laundry mat.

     Use a cap full of bleach only!   Yes a cap full of bleach is all you can use even though our septic tank bacteria products we sell can handle alot more bleach, We still only advise a cap full of bleach for one full load of laundry.
     Take short showers of no longer then 5 min.s in total time that shower head is cranking out the massive amounts of water. Anything longer then that is filling up your septic tank and drain field.
     NO BATHS! Take baths outside and let the water drain away from your septic tank and drain field.
     Use a septic tank bacteria that is not purchased at your local hardware store. The stuff purchased that a local hardware store or big box store sells even with their big fancy names on them are more or less added fillers that just clog up your septic tank and drain field system. Buying a septic tank bacteria product from www.SepticTankBacteria.com will assure that it is a quality septic tank bacteria product designed to help your septic tank and drain field to work and not to clog it up.
     I hope you have a happy and healthy Merry Septic Tank working Christmas, BUT it all starts NOW!
