Hydra - Septic Tank System Revitalizer
A Complete 3-in-1 System Boost for Septic Tank Systems in need of an overhaul.
- 3-in-1 Stops Slow Running, Eliminates Odours and Boosts Bacteria
- Adds more waste processing capacity to your system
- Recovers failed Septic Tanks, Leach Fields and Cess Pools
- Aids the growth of the soils natural bacteria
- Reduces effluent COD / BOD levels by up to 80%.
- Increases pump out intervals by reducing sludge formation
- Suitable for all septic tank sizes
Blue measuring scoop supplied. 1 heaped scoop = 40g.
After adding Hydra Re-Gen to toilet - flush toilet, if adding to sinks, showers and baths run 1 gallon (5 litres) of water to wash Hydra Re-Gen past water traps to septic system or cesspool.
1) 500 gallon (2,275 litre) System
Existing Systems
Flush 1 heaped scoop per month down toilet.
Seeding New Systems
1st four weeks - Flush 1 heaped scoop per week down toilet.
Then monthly - Flush 1 heaped scoop per month down toilet.
2) 1000 - 1200 gallon (4,500 - 9,000 litre) System
Existing Systems
Flush 2 heaped scoops per month down toilet.
Seeding New Systems
1st 4 weeks - Flush 2 heaped scoops per week down toilet.
Then monthly - Flush 2 heaped scoop per month down toilet.
3) Slow Running (Blocked Drain-field)
Add direct to leach field via the distribution box.
Remove standing water from drain box.
Add 500g Hydra Re-Gen to 5 gallons (20 litres) of water and add via distribution box after septic tank. Repeat weekly until clear.
Failed Septic Tank Soak Away
Signs of a Failed Septic Tank Soak-Away:
- Septic tank effluent surfacing on your land (see photo).
- Strong or bad odours coming from the septic tank or drains
- Pollution of nearby ditches or streams with septic tank effluent
- Slow flushing of toilets and gurgling in the drains
- Ground movement (dips) near the septic tank or soak-away drain-field
- Toilet overflowing
- Overflow at washing machine hook-up
- Overflows into shower or bath when the sink is discharged
- Drain inspection chambers have standing effluent in them. These should be emptied
The Problem
The predominate bacteria in all human and animal waste is facultative bacteria these are organisms which switch between aerobic and anaerobic bacteria depending on the available oxygen conditions.
Anaerobic is the bacterial condition and action which occurs when there is not a plentiful supply of air or oxygen i.e. a typical septic tank. Septic = Anaerobic Bacteria.
In this anaerobic condition the bacteria produce foul smelling and dangerous hydrogen sulphide gas (H2S) and sulphides. H2S in concentrations over 10ppm are poisonous to humans and animals. These bacteria are also many times less efficient at processing waste than bacteria in aerobic conditions, leading to excessive sludge build-up.
This same anaerobic bacteria sectrete a bio slime which over time clogs the porous pipework and surrounding soil making it impossible for liquid to soak away. The rate of bio mat development and the degree of bio mat thickesss is in direct proportion to overall microbial populations and their degradation function and capabilities.
These combined factors greatly impact bio film growth and field flow loss. With this understanding, solving the problems biologically is not as difficult as once believed.
The Answer
Hydra Re-Gen switches the facultative bacteria to an aerobic state thereby greatly increasing their efficiency and the bacteria therefore no longer produce sulphides and hydrogen sulphide gas. In the aerobic condition these bacteria produce odourless carbon dioxide (CO2).
How Does it Do This
Hydra Re-Gen contains vast quantities of fast and slow release oxygen agents and enzymes these have a unique natural reaction which rapidly boosts the natural bacteria in your system. This unique combination allows the facultative bacteria which is present in all human waste to switch from anaerobic to super efficient aerobic bacteria which is up to twenty times more efficient in breaking down sewage.
Rapid Action
Acting rapidly this fortified bacteria breaks down organic matter and clogging sulphides without killing the helpful bacteria in your septic system.
Preventative Maintenance
Hydra Re-Gen can not only be used to restore flow to a slowed system, but can also be used effectively to help prevent the build up of sulphides which cause the water absorption to be severely slowed and also builds up in the aggregate surrounding the drain pipes.
N.B. Preventative maintenance will help the system before major problems develop.
