How would you like to get clear water without odor in your septic tank? Read about an amazing new product by Aero-Stream.<\/p>\n
Excerpted from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Thoughts of gurgling toilets, sewage backup and foul-smelling liquid saturating the lawn flashed across Karl Holt’s mind when he realized his septic tank was nearly full. <\/p>\n It was potentially a very dirty problem, but Holt said he didn’t like the available remedies. <\/p>\n Pumping the tank is a short-term solution, and additives can hurt more than they help, he reasoned. Replacing the system would cost a minimum of $15,000 – not including re-seeding the lawn and replacing the deck. <\/p>\n “I was looking to save that $15,000,” said Holt, 45, president of Aero-Stream LLC in Hartland. <\/p>\n So he began tinkering. <\/p>\n The result is a patented product that sells for less than $1,000 that Holt says homeowners can use to revive failed septic systems and avoid more expensive alternatives. …<\/p>\n Aero-Stream\u00ae’s product, called a Remediator, transforms a septic system into one that is filled with oxygen-loving bacteria instead of less efficient, oxygen-hating bacteria, Holt said.<\/p>\n Call it aerobic exercise for a septic system; the Remediator pumps oxygen into the tank through a hole customers drill in its cover. <\/p>\n Holt says that destroys within 48 hours the oxygen-hating bacteria in the tank that have been eating the waste and encourages the growth of oxygen-loving bacteria. <\/p>\n Oxygen-rich liquid begins to flow out of the tank into the leach field. The oxygen-loving bacteria are so much more efficient at gobbling up waste they cut off the oxygen-hating bacteria’s food source by 70% to 80%, Holt said. They also eat the black slimy mix of oxygen-hating bacteria and their secretions that have been clogging the soil, and treated water starts flowing again down into the water table. <\/p>\n “Many people, even in the industry, do not understand the mechanics of the process and therefore find it difficult to comprehend the simple solution,” Holt said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read the whole piece here<\/a>.
