Septic system odors
Bad odors that emanate from septic systems are the result of microorganisms that produce gas as they eat. The most common odor producer is yeast, which typically gets into the system by passing through humans. Yeast is found in many common foods like bread and beer.
Many other kinds of bacteria live in the system and will kill enough stinky microorganisms to keep the system balanced if they are healthy and abundant enough. Unfortunately, people often put products into the system that kill these 'good' microbes – products like chlorine bleach, toilet bowl cleaner and mouthwash. Often, the microbial population is weakened enough that it cannot overcome the yeast and stop the odor.
Solution for septic system odors
• Add Septikos® to quickly increase and strengthen microbes
• Do not add extra yeast to your septic system
• Control use of harsh chemicals
Using Septikos will increase the microbial population dramatically over the first 48 hours, bringing the yeast population under control and putting a stop to bad odors within a week. Continue using Septikos regularly to keep your system odor-free and functioning properly.
With Septikos, you probably will not need to make big changes to how much you use harsh chemicals. Septikos has a special coating that acts as a time-release mechanism, meaning that nutrients will remain available long after they enter the system. That means the microbe population can stay healthy and active even when chemicals are present. Be aware, however, that any reduction in chemical use will help your septic system be more effective.
