In 2015, the Department of Health estimated that 31% of septic tank systems in the U.S. were failing to some degree. This alarming statistic highlights a major issue, as these failing systems have been identified as the leading cause of groundwater contamination throughout the country. Septic systems, if not properly maintained, can cause serious environmental and health risks, contaminating not only groundwater but also potentially putting the well-being of your family and community at risk.
Septic tanks are home to three types of bacteria: aerobic bacteria, which are beneficial and essential in breaking down waste; anaerobic bacteria, which are less effective at breaking down solids and typically contribute little to maintaining a clean system; and fecal coliforms, which can be a sign of the presence of dangerous pathogens. Aerobic bacteria, like those found in SEPTIFIX, thrive in the presence of oxygen, which is why many septic tank systems are equipped with aerators. While effective, these aerators come with a hefty price tag—over $10,000 for installation, with ongoing electricity costs of more than $100 annually.
In contrast, anaerobic bacteria, which do not require oxygen to survive, can signal a more serious issue. According to recent scientific studies, the presence of anaerobic bacteria indicates the potential for dangerous pathogens such as typhoid, E. coli, salmonella, cholera, and even viruses like polio and Hepatitis A to be present in your septic tank. These pathogens can contaminate groundwater, and if the waste water flows back into your home or garden through the drain field, it poses a severe health risk, as harmful bacteria and viruses can spread to your family, pets, and neighbors.
A striking example of how septic system failure can lead to serious health consequences occurred in 2009 on Swan’s Island, Maine. There, a malfunctioning septic system spread the Hepatitis A virus, infecting eight households. Tragically, one individual died as a result of the contamination. This outbreak underscores the importance of maintaining a properly functioning septic system, as a failure to do so can have devastating consequences for both your health and the surrounding community.
Luckily, SEPTIFIX provides a simple yet powerful solution. The billions of live aerobic bacteria inside each tablet, coupled with the oxygen released by the tablets, work together to destroy harmful pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, by neutralizing the wastewater within your septic tank. This process not only ensures that your septic system operates effectively but also eliminates the health risks associated with pathogens and harmful bacteria. With SEPTIFIX, you can rest assured that your family, neighbors, and the environment are protected.
By using SEPTIFIX regularly, you are making a responsible investment in the health of your septic system. The oxygen-releasing technology in SEPTIFIX helps to maintain the ideal environment for beneficial bacteria to thrive, ensuring that waste is broken down efficiently and effectively. This reduces the buildup of harmful solids, sludge, and grease, while keeping harmful pathogens in check.
Furthermore, SEPTIFIX makes septic tank maintenance hassle-free. With its easy-to-use tablets, you don’t need expensive professionals or complex aeration systems. Simply drop one tablet into your toilet each month, and SEPTIFIX will do the work for you. This simple action not only keeps your septic system running smoothly but also provides ongoing protection for your home and the environment.
