Septo-Boost

Concentrated Bacteria Boosts Septic Systems Performance

& Keeps Sewage Bio Systems in Good Working Condition

Features & Advantages

Bacteria blend breaks down waste faster

Degrades paper, grease and vegetable waste

No need to empty septic tank and cesspool /

cesspits as frequently

No disruptions from blocked pipes and drains

Extends life of drain field / septic tank soak-

away

Improves drain field percolation.

No offensive smells

A septic system is a small scale sewage treatment

system commonly installed at properties situated off

the main sewage pipeline. They are often features of

holiday homes or houses in more remote areas of the

country.

A Septic System consists of various components

including: Septic Tank, Inlet wastewater pipe and a

Drain field/Soak away. Waste water from the property

flows into the Septic Tank directly from the drainage

pipes from the sinks and toilets.

Once in the septic tank, the waste water settles out

with solids at the bottom and scum floating to the top.

The settled solids are then anaerobically digested by

naturally occurring bacteria in the tank. The remain-

ing liquid flows through the dividing wall into another

chamber where it settles further. Any excess liquid is

then drained out in a relatively clear condition from

the outlet into the leach field (sometimes known as

drain field/soak away).

The problem occurs when the bacteria in the septic

tank are not available in sufficient numbers to process

Cleaner liquid output to the drainage area /

leech field, this prevents clogging which can

create water-logged ground and unpleasant

odours

No damage from flooding as a result of blocked

drains and sewage back-ups

No residue, environmental friendly and safer to

use than harsh chemicals

No insect and rodent problems

No costly pump outs

the waste water sufficiently. This leads to the slow

running of your septic tank system which can result in

back ups and odours .

Many common household cleaning / washing products

act to slow down or kill-off the normal activity of the

micro- organisms found in septic tanks which are

essential for correct operation. Hydra Septo-Boost

treatment counters this effect.

Common factors that upset the natural process

Over use of disinfectants

Over use of bleaches

Over use of detergents

Very hot or cold conditions

You can make sure you do not damage the bacteria in

your septic tank by using septic tank friendly

bathroom and kitchen cleaners and limiting the

amount of bleach and detergents that you use. Hydra

manufacture a range of cleaning products that

compliment the bacteria in your tank.

The Problem

Hydra Septo-Boost biological treatment is a powder

product based on micro-organisms, oxidisers, enzymes

and nutrients to liquefy and digest grease, cellulose,

starch etc.

For use in septic tank, cesspool, cess pit and

klarchester septic tanks decreases the need for septic

tank emptying.

Thanks to the synergetic action of bacteria,

enzymes and nutrients it provides a rapid and in

depth start-up Contains both immediate and slow

release oxygen additives which boost biological

performance in the system.

Maintains efficient bio-degrading activity in septic

tanks using naturally occurring micro-organisms

eliminating septic tank problems.

Packed in water soluble sachets for ease of

application.

Each sachet contains natural micro-organisms,

enzymes and nutrients to maintain the efficient

bio-degrading activity ensuring a correctly

operating tanks septic and cesspits.

These bacteria digest grease, soaps, proteins, fats,

oils, many chemicals found in cleaning products.

Once the treatment has started the bacteria

colonise the sceptic tank, cesspits / cesspool

providing protection 24/7.

Ideal for Klarchester septic tank.

Use regularly as an easy-to-apply once-a-month

treatment to maintain activity levels in systems.

Packs contain either 6 months or 12 months supply of

individual powder sachet treatments.

They are clean and safe to handle and use, supplied in

a convenient water soluble sachet for direct

application into the toilet.

A correctly working system will break down solids, fats

and grease faster, requiring less frequent emptying,

will not give off unpleasant odours, and will have a

cleaner liquid output to the drainage area / leech

field / septic tank soak-away.

This prevents the clogging which can create water-

logged ground and unpleasant odours.

Initial Treatment - Add one sachet day 1, one sachet

day 3, one sachet day 6.

Maintenance Treatment - Then add one sachet each

month.

How to Use—Maintenance Treatment

Once a month, open the pack and remove 1

powder sachet.

Place the sachet into the toilet bowl of the toilet

nearest the system.

The sachet wrap will dissolve in contact with water.

Allow a few minutes for the wrap powder to dissolve,

and flush away into the system.

For best results, flush the Hydra Septo-Boost into
