Whether your home or business is in Altamonte Springs, Casselberry, Lake Mary, Sanford or anywhere in Central Florida area, septic tanks depend on bacteria to work properly.
One of the most asked questions at Orlando Septic Services is, “Should I add bacteria to my septic tank?”
The fact is, bacteria plays a very important role in the septic system, from breaking down solid waste, killing disease causing pathogens in the soil, to decomposing molecular waste. Routinely replenishing the bacteria and enzymes in your septic system is vital for a safe and healthy environment and it will prolong the life of the system.
Antibacterial products are everywhere now a days, from soaps, toothpaste, mouthwash, shower cleaners, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, toilet bowl cleaners, to kitchen disinfectants, and other household cleaners, they wreak havoc on our septic system disrupting the natural biological system.
Limiting the use of antibacterial products in your home and business:
Use drain traps instead of drain cleaners
Use less cleaning products and scrub more
Avoid putting grease down the drain, it can prevent bacteria from doing its job of decomposing solid waste
Try using more green products to clean your home or business
Avoid pouring bleach down the drain or toilet
Don’t flush antibiotics, whether over the counter or prescription, down the drain or toilet
Be discerning when using products that say,”won’t harm septic tanks”, while they may not hurt the tank itself, they can be detrimental to the bacteria in the system.
Maintaining proper bacteria is necessary for the septic system to work efficiently and should be a part of your routine septic tank maintenance.
