FAQ

What is this product used for?

Water-soluble bacterial enzyme digestant packets that utilize bacillus strains to digest organic waste in grease traps, septic systems, drains, and wastewater treatment facilities.

How do the bacteria work?

The bacteria work both aerobically with oxygen and anaerobically without oxygen to break down proteins, fats, oils, starches, carbohydrates, and paper into soluble compounds.

Why are spore-form bacteria used?

Spore-form bacteria resist chlorine, disinfectants, and high water temperatures while providing extended shelf life and guaranteed microbial concentration.

How much should I use?

Dosing varies by application: grease traps use 1/4 lb per 5 cubic feet initially, septic systems use 1/2 lb per 500 gallons initially, and pit toilets use 1/4-1/2 lb per 500 gallons weekly.

Do I need to mix or dilute the packets?

No, the packets are ready-to-use portion controlled and water-soluble. Simply grab and toss directly into the system.

Can these bacteria survive disinfectants?

The spore-form bacteria resist chlorine and disinfectants, but allow several hours after disinfectant use before treating with Bio-Paks.
