ECO-AUSSIE proudly stocks a growing range of Australian-made septic safe products - so what are septic safe products, and why are they important?
Septic systems are the most common solution to treat sewerage on off-grid properties and in other areas where access to a traditional sewer system is not available. Septic systems rely on naturally occurring bacteria to break down waste, and therefore it is important to use products that will not harm or disrupt the bacteria in the septic system.
Septic safe products, such as the range from Kin Kin Naturals are specifically designed for use with septic systems, and are made with ingredients that do not harm the bacteria which are essential for the proper functioning of the system. The use of non-septic safe products can cause a variety of problems, including clogs and backups which can result in costly repairs to the septic system.
When choosing cleaning products for your household, there are some key points to consider. First, avoid products that contain harsh chemicals, such as bleach and ammonia. These chemicals can kill the bacteria in the septic system, leading to a variety of problems. Instead, choose products that are marked as septic safe. These biodegradable products will break down easily in the septic system and not cause harm to the delicate ecosystem of bacteria.
It is also important to pay attention to the amount of product you use. Overusing septic safe products can also be harmful, as it can create an excess of material that the bacteria in the septic system cannot break down. Be sure to follow the product instructions and use the recommended amount for best results.
In addition to being mindful of the products you use, it is also important to have your septic system inspected and maintained on a regular basis. This will help ensure that it is functioning properly and can help prevent any problems before they occur.
The use of septic safe products is essential for maintaining a healthy and functioning septic system in an off-grid property. By choosing the right products and using them as directed, you can help ensure that your septic system continues to work effectively whilst providing a safe and sanitary solution for waste disposal.
