Restoring Failed Drain Fields:
Failed drain fields have been
restored by applying Septic Drainer in greater
quantities. Good results have been obtained by
applying 16 litres directly to the drain field
soil as a shock treatment. Septic
Drainer should be applied through a distribution box or
cleanout directly to the drain
field, bypassing the septic tank. Have the tank
pumped the day you intend to apply Septic Drainer.
All standing water should be pumped from the drain
field if possible. You may have to dig below the
surface of the soil to find your distribution box.
If you do not have, or cannot find, a distribution
box or cleanout directly to the drain
field, the product may be applied through the
outlet of the septic tank using a funnel with a
length of old garden hose attached. Place the end
of the hose in the septic tank outlet and pour all
16 litres through the funnel. Follow the
application with enough clear water (up to 200
litres) to flush the product deeper into the
field.
WARNING: Septic tanks can be
hazardous. Noxious gases collect in the top of the
tank, and tank contents pose a health hazard. We
recommend hiring a licensed professional septic
service technician if application must be done
through the tank outlet.
PLEASE NOTE: Some septic tanks have a “T”
outlet, or baffle installed on the outlet to
reduce the amount of solids flowing to the drain
field. These types of systems may prevent
accessing the outlet in this way. If it is not
possible to access the tank outlet, or use any
other method of direct drain field application the
product may be applied through a toilet or drain.
Although not as effective as a shock treatment
applied directly to the soil, application in this
manner will help restore drain field soil. Septic
Drainer has been shown to be effective in solutions
as dilute as 1 part per 1,000.
Septic Drainer has been used successfully
for over 50 years, but due to the wide range of
contributing factors that may cause drain field
failure, we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of
Septic Drainer.
We want you to know the truth. We don’t
claim that Septic Drainer will solve everyone's
septic system problems. If you haven’t had your
septic tank pumped in 20 years your problem is
probably beyond the scope of what Septic Drainer can
do. The best results can be obtained when Septic
Drainer is applied to soil that has a high clay
content. If you don’t know what kind of soil you
have read the "Signs
of Septic System Failure" page on this web
site.The bottom line is: if your septic system
drain field is failing, you have several choices
you can make ranging from an expensive total
replacement to trying a product like Septic Drainer. It may
not work, but it probably will, isn’t it worth a
try? We know there are other companies who offer
guarantees on their products, but please read the
fine print, know what is being guaranteed. Will
they take responsibility if your drain field is
damaged by their product's use?
We know that our product has not damaged a
drain field in over 50 years of
use. Additionally, we guarantee that we
are bringing you a high quality product with a
track record we can be proud of.
We want you to be satisfied with your
