"I am delighted to say that the ACF32 has been fast-acting and the septic tank odour has completely gone. I shall certainly be ordering more in due course to make sure that the tank is properly cared for and efficient." Chris – Waterford
Septic tanks and small-scale community water treatment plants are biological systems for breaking down the organic matter and inorganic nitrogen in wastewater.
Like all biological systems, they rely on a healthy population of the right bacteria species in order to perform.
There are several situations where boosting the population of beneficial bacteria will be of benefit:
Starting a septic tank for the first time;
Restarting the septic tank after a long period away (such as with a holiday home);
Where the system has had a shock - maybe bleach or another cleaning chemical;
During abnormal weather conditions - hot weather makes it more difficult for oxygen to be dissolved into the water.
Septic Tank Microbes:
ACF32 is a proprietary, multi-species formula of live bacteria effective in breaking down the organic fraction of sewage and wastewater, as well as the inorganic nitrogen.
By breaking down the solids quickly and effectively, ACF32 significantly reduces costly maintenance to the system, which includes tank pumping, and system backup.
When used regularly, the septic system will function properly and avoid costly repair and/or replacement.
ACF32 will remediate percolation problems in the drainage field soil and assure constant filtration back to the environment. [Note: mechanical issues, such as broken aeration or solids traps must be fixed prior to adding any bacteria products]
Whether it’s for Septic Tank shock treatment or simply to start up a population of Septic Tank Microbes, our ACF32 bacteria will be able to quickly get you Septic Tank up and running.
Benefits of using ACF32 in Septic Tanks:
Provides a broad spectrum of bacteria, including those that cycle ammonia;
Is a stable, liquid product - ready and easy-to-use;
Maintains Optimal Conditions;
Reduces Maintenance Costs;
Remediates Percolation Problems;
Eliminates Odour;
One bottle provides either a full start-up or 8 months of maintenance;
The application of ACF32 to the septic tank system is easy. It can be added indoors to the toilets and sinks or outdoors directly into the septic tanks. Simply use the following table to determine the correct quantity and frequency of the application. Directly to the Septic Tank: Locate the porthole and add the recommended dosage of ACF32 to the tank.
In the Toilet: Add ACF32 directly to the toilet and flush once.
[TIP: ideally use in a toilet that has not been recently flushed as this reduces the risk of chlorine in the water]
Do not add ACF32 immediately before or after the use of household chemicals or detergents, as these products can inhibit bacteria growth. It is recommended that ACF32 is added at night after system use has stopped for the day.
