Case study
The septic system of an 80-year-old farm house in Medina County, Ohio could not pass requirements of the county Health Department. The owners received notice to vacate the property by June 30, 1998. The owners began using Septikos™ on June 27, 1998 by applying it to the toilet nearest the septic system and directly to the septic tank. After only 48 hours, the Health Department found a dramatic reduction in solids, BOD and TSS and elimination of odors. After three weeks of using Septikos, the effluent was crystal clear. On three subsequent inspections, the Health Department declared the system normal.
Situation:
Health Department notified owner to vacate
residential property based on septic tank condition.
• Original septic
system in 80-year-old house; 1200 gal. capacity
• Tank was overflowing;
visible septage; leech-bed plugged; bad odor
• Problems had been
ongoing for previous three years
• Health Department notified owner of
need to vacate property until septic system replaced
• Samples showed
BOD at 450 mg/l
• Samples showed TSS at 117 mg/l
Solution:
Health Department allowed owner to treat with
Septikos.
• 48 hours before Health Department inspection, owner applied
2 lbs. Septikos in toilet nearest septic system
• Simultaneously
applied 2 lbs. Septikos directly to septic tank
Results:
Health Department allowed residents to
remain. 48 hours after treatment, Health Department samples showed:
•
Dramatically reduced solids
• Samples showed BOD at 45 mg/l
•
Samples showed TSS at 28 mg/l
• Odor eliminated
The Health Department required BOD levels of 2 mg/l and TSS levels of 4 mg/l. After three subsequent inspections, the system was declared normal. The owner was not required to vacate the property or replace the system.
