Organic Septic Tank Cleaners
By Clifford WoodsHaving a septic tank is one of the best and healthiest ways to get rid of the waste water from your home. Having a good septic tank cleaner is really important so that you can actually maintain the life and working order of your tank.
Now there are hard-core septic cleaners, which could potentially be dangerous because of their chemicals. So the safest way that you can go is by taking care of your septic tank system the all-natural and organic way. This will not only ensure the life of your system but it will also ensure that your soil, ground and family stay as healthy as they can.
The first rule of organic septic cleaning is actually getting your tank pumped out regularly. You want to ensure that you pump out all of the sludge and slime and other things that clog up your tank and prevent the anaerobic bacteria from doing its job and breaking down the solid waste that is washed out with the waste-water.
It has been determined that if your home does not have a garbage disposal then the rule of thumb is to get it pumped out once every 3 years. If your home does have a garbage disposal then you should get it pumped out every single year without exception.
The next thing is the organic septic tank cleaners, which have to do with adding biological additives including things like yeast products, natural bacteria and then enzymes.
You want to find products, which show that they are organic and that they will be safe for the ground water and soil around the tank that you are using. If you do not see this on the packaging then stay away from it because it could end up making people sick in the home, or even neighbors, because it could contaminate the ground water with chemicals and other non-organic substances.
You also want to make sure that with the addition of the organic cleaner that you also tend to your leaching field as well. It's an essential part of your septic system and needs to be treated well to maintain that end of the system.
You will want to plant tall grasses or things like that over the field so that you will have absorption beds for the waste-water. You do not want to plant trees or plants with heavy deep root systems because this could actually cause damage to your system and that is a very costly expense to get fixed.
With any septic tank cleaners, make sure as it was mentioned before that everything you put into it is all natural, biodegradable and safe for the environment. You want to ensure that for generations to come that you are being a responsible home owner and doing your part to ensure the life of your septic tank system.
Make sure that you are caring for the soil and ground water around your home as well because if that becomes contaminated, then it could take a very long time to clean up and it can be expensive as well.
