rachel.highley • October 25, 2017

Not only is a septic system additive part of a smart routine maintenance plan, it offers a variety of benefits that can save you money in the long run! Want to know how? Keep reading to see why a product like Bio-Active should be in every septic system owner’s home. Or contact us today to learn more.

  1. A septic system additive like Bio-Active can help keep your system healthy. If you regularly use anti-bacterial products or flush harsh chemicals down the drain, you may be destroying the “healthy” bacteria needed to break down solids and process waste. An additive contains the right kind of bacteria to help restore balance and keep your tank functioning properly.
  2. Septic additives can help prevent backups. If your septic system has a history of backups or problems, an additive like Bio-Active can help keep things flushing smoothly. By regulating your tank’s bacteria levels, additives break down solids and waste so your tank drains properly and is easy to pump every 3 years.
  3. A septic system additive can extend the life of your septic system. If your system is old or you’re not sure how often it was pumped by previous owners, an additive is a cost efficient part of any routine maintenance plan. Bio-Active can restore the balance in your septic tank so it can continue functioning properly for years to come.
  4. A septic additive can save you money. That’s right – keeping your system healthy with a product like Bio-Active can save you money on service and repairs. When your system is working as it should a backup is unlikely and you won’t be charged additional fees for heavy solids disposal during your regular pumping.
