Septi-Flo contains three bacterial enzymes:
- Amylase, which helps convert the starches into water soluble dextrins.
- Lipase, which helps convert fats, oils, and grease into water soluble glycerol.
- Protease, which helps convert the proteigns into water soluble amino acids.
Along with these enzymes, it has bacterial culture which helps convert and digest cellulose and is compatible
with both aerobic and anaerobic environments. These carefully combined and tested ingredients insure a trouble-free systems, when used as directed.
The following three steps detail why and how Septi-Flo helps maintain a problem-free septic system:
Step 1
The wastewater separates into
layers in the septic tank. This is where the process of
decomposition begins. Bacteria, which are naturally present in all
septic systems, begin to digest the solids that have settled to the
bottom of the tank.
Step 2
Most experts agree that it is
necessary to have large quantities of active bacteria and enzymes to maintain a clean and balanced septic system.
Cleaners, bleaches, antibiotic drugs, or a sudden change
in the Ph of the system can temporarily kill off large numbers of
beneficial bacteria. By adding Septi-Flo's septic enzymes and concentrated bacteria, a system’s biological community can recover quickly.
Step 3
Another important part of the
process performed by bacteria and other microscopic organisms occurs
when the effluent from the septic tank enters the drainfield and
comes into contact with the biomat. Organisms living in the biomat
further digest organic matter contained in the effluent before it
reaches the soil where the last part of the process is completed,
with the help of bacteria naturally occurring in the soil.
