7 means for breaking down fat in a cesspool

The problem of accumulation of body fat in a cesspool is familiar to many summer residents, but above all, to those who prefer storage systems. They need to be cleaned regularly with a scavenger machine, and fat deposits contribute to faster pollution. Because of them, you have to clean more often. However, you do not have to call the scavengers every time. There are simpler and cheaper ways that do not require qualifications from the contractor.

Caustic soda or sodium hydroxide

Sold in the form of granules or powder. The price per kilogram varies from fifty to one hundred rubles.

Soda is very effective, it literally corrodes fat, small debris and organic matter, helping to eliminate blockages. Also, this method does not require regular carrying out, it will be enough for you to carry out the cleaning procedure 1-2 times in a few months. The cost is low, it is easy to find soda in stores or order on the Internet. However, in contact with plumbing, sodium hydroxide corrodes it and can damage pipes. This is not critical when it comes to a cesspool, but for a different type of toilet, it is undesirable to use it. In addition, caustic soda will poison the soil. So work in compliance with all rules of use and precautions.

Caustic soda, although effective, is unsafe, so consider more gentle methods.

Dr. Robik

The preparation consists of bacteria, which upon contact with water begin to multiply, and thus the process of purification takes place. Sold in liquid form, costs from 750 rubles per bottle. "Doctor Robik" not only breaks down fats, but also dissolves organic matter, paper, waste products. Also removes unpleasant odors.

The main plus is safety for animals, people and soil. This product is environmentally friendly and relates to biological cleaning methods.

"Doctor" copes well with its task. Subject to preventive measures, you will be able to carry out processing on average once a year.

Cons as such are absent, however, for someone, a rather high price may become a problem.

Wayt Trith

This is a completely biological agent, that is, it is also a bacterial preparation. Removes nitrates and phosphates, accelerates the decomposition of biological residues. It is usually sold in tablet form, but is also found in the form of granules and liquid. It costs from 500 rubles.

The product is effective, it is spent economically, resistant to chlorine. The pluses include the fact that you don't need to breed Wayt Trit tablets in water, they are immediately placed in a pit. In addition, work to deepen the bottom can be done less frequently and in a smaller volume, since tablets effectively dissolve deposits.

The disadvantage of Weiss Trit is that you will need to repeat the cleaning procedure after 3 months.

Roetech K-87

Roetech K-87 is a special tool for dissolving fats, soaps and paper. Sold in the form of a liquid consisting of a culture of anaerobic bacteria. The cost is approximately 900 rubles per bottle.

A fat thinner can be used as part of general septic tank care or for a specific task. The drug is harmless to the environment, animals and people.

Repeat cleaning can, on average, every 3 months.

Less money is a big expense. A noticeable effect will appear only after you process the pit for 4-8 days in a row.

Septifos Vigor

It is made in Poland, sold in the form of mineral powder, which also contains special bacteria. The cost of 900 rubles.

You can use Septifos Vigor not only if necessary, but also for prevention.The tool breaks down fat well, while reducing the amount of effluent.

The expense is small - one package is enough for 7 months. The manufacturer claims that with regular use, the services of a cesspool are not required for you 10-15 years. The minuses can also include the cost - it is slightly higher than that of analogues.

Summer and winter

It is made in Russia. Consists of a complex of biologically active additives. Sold as a liquid. The tool is quite inexpensive - a liter will cost you 300-400 rubles.

Grease removes well, but the main feature of the product is that you can use it year-round. For comparison, bacterial agents do not work at temperatures below 5 ° C. If the septic tank freezes in winter, the bacteria will die and in the spring treatment will have to start from scratch. So if you plan to use a cesspool in the cold season, "Summer and Winter" is a good option. However, in terms of efficiency, it loses to competitors.

The choice of remedy depends on the situation. For example, if there is a lot of grease and other contaminants in the cesspool, caustic soda may be preferred. If the condition of the cesspool is not too neglected, it may be worth spending money on preparations such as Septifos Vigor, because the price justifies the quality.

In addition, there are folk cleaning methods. They are not so effective, but if there is no other way, they can also be of help.

Softwood sawdust or peat

If there are no sawdust on your site, you can buy them - it will take about a cubic meter, its cost is 150-300 rubles. Sawdust is able to absorb fat and other contents of the pit, and they will also eliminate an unpleasant odor. But the obvious minus of such a tool is that the sawdust does not dissolve, you will have to manually remove them.

It works on the same principle as sawdust - it absorbs everything into itself. Used in dry form. The cost of fifty liters is 250-300 rubles. Peat will not dissolve, so it will also have to be cleaned on its own.

All of these methods have varying degrees of effectiveness, they are verified by users and have good reviews. But if their application still did not give the expected result, turn to the services of a cesspooling company
