UNDERSTANDING YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM
A properly
designed and constructed septic system is the most efficient
method for disposing of household sewage. A typical septic
system consists of a septic tank and a leaching field.
Generally, the septic tank is a two chamber concrete,
800 - 1,000 gallon airtight tank. The leaching bed is
comprised of rows of perforated 3 inch pipe set 5 ft
apart on a 6 inch stone layer. The bottom of the trench must
be at least 1.5 ft. above the groundwater table and 3 ft
above bedrock or impermeable soil.
In septic
tanks waste matter is decomposed through bacterial action.
Inside the septic tank, you would find three layers. The top
layer is the "Scum” layer where organic material
floats to the surface. Bacteria in septic tanks
biologically converts this material to a liquid. The middle
layer is the “Effluent” layer where mostly clear water
will be found. This clear water is the only layer that
should enter your absorption area. The bottom layer is the
“Sludge” layer. This layer is where the inorganic or
inert solid materials and the by-products of bacterial
digestion.
In
a properly functioning septic tank, household waste is
broken down, liquefied, and deodorized through a natural
(biological) process. Overuse of disinfectants, bleaches,
detergents, extreme hot or cold conditions can upset his
process (reduce microbial populations) and cause the system
to become inoperative.
EC-7003
is formulated to increase microbial populations and
accelerate the natural (biological) process within your
septic system. EC-7003 tank
treatment reduces
frequent septic tank pumping, extends drain field life, improves
drain field percolation, prevents sewer line blockage and keeps septic systems
operating at optimum performance. EC-7003 will protect your
septic system and keep it operating smoothly.
BENEFITS
Controls Methane Production
Improves Drain Field Percolation
Prevents Sewer Line Blockage
Neutralizes Detergent Bleach
Will Not Attack Plastic or Metal Plumbing
Safer to Use than Harsh Chemicals
Accelerates the Degradation Process
Degrades Paper, Grease and Vegetable Waste
USAGE
Using EC-7003 is simple... Just drop a convenient water
soluble pouch into your lavatory bowl & flush.
EC-7003
is safe to use as directed. It is completely natural,
contains no corrosive chemicals and is hazard free. It will
not damage metal, ceramic, or plastic parts of the drainage
system.

Dear EcoChem,
We would just like to take a moment to tell you how much we like
your sump and septic tank enzyme products. Before we started
using your products we were calling out pump companies to empty the
septic tanks and sumps regularly. Each time we did this it was
costing thousands of dollars. Now after using your products the
times we have to call a pump company is rare and we have seen a
substantial savings. We will continue to use your products for a
long time to come.
Thank you,
Captain ...........
