What are septic tanks?
Septic systems are underground wastewater treatment facilities that are typically employed in rural regions where there are no centralized sewage systems. They purify wastewater from residential plumbing produced by bathrooms, kitchen drains, and laundry using a blend of nature and established technology.
A conventional septic system includes a septic tank and a drain field, often known as a soil absorption field.
The septic tank digests organic matter while separating floatable stuff (such as oils and fats) and particles from wastewater. The liquid (known as effluent) from the septic tank is discharged into a series of perforated pipes buried in a leach field, chambers, or other specific devices intended to slowly release the effluent into the soil in soil-based systems.
What are the effects of chemical cleansers on your septic tank?
The septic tank receives all types of households and kitchen waste, both solid and liquid. It is more akin to a small-scale sewage treatment facility where waste is processed and wastewater is discharged into the earth via pipelines.
In an ideal world, waste is naturally processed and expelled with the aid of bacteria. However, with the increased use of home chemicals and population density in metropolitan areas, septic tanks have been discovered to confront a slew of problems that are a direct result of inappropriate septic tank usage and upkeep.
Failure of a Septic Tank
The major cause of septic tank failure is a poorly functioning microbial ecology in the tank. A wide variety of important bacteria are responsible for the breakdown of fats, oils, solids, and other organic biodegradable waste. This avoids solid waste from blocking pipes, waste build-up, and, eventually, sewage backup. Microbial decomposition of this waste reduces pipe clogs and sludge collection in the septic tank chamber. A healthy microbial ecology aids in the prevention of issues such as reverse odours and waste backflow.
However, sludge build-up develops when the microbial environment, which is critical for the correct functioning of the septic system, is disrupted. Septic tank failure ensues, and life becomes hell with a faulty sense of smell.
What is the main cause behind the malfunction of a septic tank?
Blame it on the plethora of chemical cleansers that populate your cleaning closets.
On a daily basis, the average family is exposed to more than 60 chemicals.
People use floor cleaners, toilet cleaners, bathroom cleaners, soapy water, and bleach, all of which include a variety of harmful chemicals, harsh acids, alkalis, and antibacterial chemical agents. The chemicals are lethal to the helpful microorganisms in septic tanks. These harsh and poisonous cleaning chemicals are washed down the drains every day and end up in the septic tank, where they destroy the beneficial microorganisms. Sludge accumulates due to a lack of microbial function. This causes a backup, which is the first indicator of a septic system failure and the release of bad odours.
Preventive maintenance is a simple solution.
Septic Tank is a natural treatment solution that comprises enzyme-producing bacteria. They are very capable of totally decomposing garbage while also withstanding the effects of severe chemicals.The potent composition also reduces bad odours by blocking the development of odour-causing germs.
Degrading biological obstructions in drain pipes, gravel leach pits, and porous stone walls are also features, addressing overflow and backflow difficulties. So, next time, when something smells fishy, remember it's your septic tank.
