Bacteria is necessary in promoting a healthy system and is responsible for the breakdown of solids. When solids are broken down they are not able to filter into your leaching system, which may lengthen the life of your system. Poorly operating septic tanks demonstrate one or more of the following symptoms:
- Tank fills with solids and overflows
- Soak away blocks and the local area becomes waterlogged
- Severe increase in malodours
Grease-Zyme from Chemex harnesses the power of environmental biotechnology to solve the above problems directly associated with poorly functioning septic tanks and extend the life of your septic system.

The product works in harmony with the natural biological process and quickly restores efficient performance. Other types of systems where Grease-Zyme can be successfully used include grease traps and drains.
Unfortunately, septic systems cannot dispose of all the material that enters the system. Solids that are not broken down by bacteria begin to accumulate in the septic tank and eventually do need to be removed.
When the holding tank is not pumped out frequently enough, the solids can enter the pipes leading to and from the tank. This can cause sewage to back up into the house or business or cause the drainage system to fail as the pipes and soil become congested.
Left too long, these problems are often costly to fix, pose a danger to public health, are a major source of malodours and a significant source of water pollution. Seepage from inadequate or failing septic systems can contaminate both ground and surface waters.
The industry recommends having a licensed company clean your septic system every two years to perform preventative maintenance. As part of this process, we recommend that you introduce the Medonix Septic Tank Booster solution that is available from your local Drainage Solutions organisation, KLG Services Ltd in Farnham.
