Biological approach and system maintenance

Muck Munchers products contain naturally occurring micro-organisms that, according to the company, work in their billions to digest septic waste. The company explains that when septic tanks and treatment plants are not properly maintained, aerobic bacteria can become anaerobic, become unbalanced and die, leading to sludge accumulation, foul odours, blockages and even overflows. Its approach aims to reverse this situation and keep the system working without resorting to harsh chemicals.

For systems with serious problems, such as thick surface crusts, sludge accumulation or poor drainage in soakaways, the company recommends an initial treatment with Triple Action Bog Busters followed by a monthly Muck Munchers programme for 12 months. It also warns that flushing materials other than toilet paper into the tank reduces the effectiveness of the waste-digesting bacteria.
