What is the best septic tank to buy?

Septic tank cleaners help fight tank overcrowding and often get rid of bad odors. They can be divided into two types according to the principle of operation:

Chemical activators

Versatile, fast-acting formulas that can tackle most stains.

organic activators

They are based on special bacteria that process waste. This type of product is much safer for people and the environment because it does not contain hazardous substances. In addition, recycled waste can be used in vegetable gardens as compost.

Means for septic tanks also differ in the form of release. Most of the models on the market are sold in two main forms: liquids and powders.

Liquid products do not need to be diluted or otherwise prepared for use. Such compositions are most advantageous to purchase in large containers, since they last longer. Portions of a substance in powder form are easier to count and measure, but usually they need to be diluted with water to the required concentration. If the ratio of the active substance is incorrect, the effectiveness of the product will drop sharply.

An important feature of any substance should be maximum safety for humans, pets and the environment as a whole. The product should not contain toxins. In addition, when using chemical activators, you need to use personal protective equipment — masks and gloves. Chemically processed waste is not suitable for use in vegetable gardens and must be disposed of in designated areas.

You should also pay attention to the effectiveness of the composition. It depends on it how quickly the accumulated waste will be processed. The duration of action is also important — the optimal period for the frequency of use. It is best if the remedy needs to be applied once a month or less.
