10 best cesspool remedies

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Owners of summer cottages and private houses without a central sewerage system are forced to create cesspools in order to divert wastewater from sinks, showers, baths and toilets there. An alternative is a septic tank that collects waste in plastic containers and removes it through a drain. In both cases, an unpleasant odor will form and thick masses will accumulate. Natural bacteria do little to cope with a large volume, and chlorine and similar agents 'burn out' all living things. Therefore, bacteria with a high concentration have been developed that eat up fat sediment, fecal matter, sludge and eliminate putrefactive odor. Here is a ranking of the best cesspool remedies, compiled by the popular products of 2019. TOP-9 is compiled taking into account customer reviews and product characteristics.

According to our experts, the cesspool agent deserves the first place in the rating due to its versatility. It is suitable for septic tanks, cesspools, or simply flush down the toilet.

The third position in the 2019 rating is given to a product from the manufacturer BioBac.

The substance consists of destructive bacteria that are placed in a nutrient medium. The drug may be poured into cesspools, drainage systems, toilets, pipes or septic installations. The product is sold in bottles with a capacity of 1 liter. This amount is sufficient for 'filling' a cesspool with a volume of 10 m³.

After a week, the water in the septic tank will be at the technical level of purity. Buyers in the reviews note that thanks to the use of this tool, the need for sewage disposal disappears.

We have placed the tool in the 2019 rating because it can be used in winter. Bioactivator bacteria do not die even at -22 degrees, and are well adapted to work in frost conditions.

The powerful formula quickly recycles the contents, eliminating odors and thick masses.

Granules actively break down the contents, helping to reduce the volume by 1.5-2 times. This allows small containers to be emptied less frequently.

If you need to start the processes of accelerated decomposition inside the septic tank, then the tablet can be placed in the first chamber. For use in a cesspool, you first need to dilute 1 dose of the drug in 5 liters of water, and then pour the contents into the toilet.

At the outlet of the sewer system, organomineral fertilizers are formed. Buyers in the reviews like that the product is suitable for large cesspools of 4-6 m³, only then you will need to use 1 tablet every two weeks.

In our opinion, the product has earned a place in the rating due to the complete decomposition of solid and dense masses, due to which water from the cesspool spontaneously goes into the soil, and the liquid from the septic tank is suitable for irrigation or release into the field. The use of BioExpert completely eliminates waste disposal services, provided that the tablets are used regularly and the dosage is correct.

Devon-N 2 l

Rating: 4.2

The penultimate agent in the ranking of the best is positioned as a smell destroyer. It promotes the biodegradation and volume reduction of organic waste. The substance is sold in bottles of 2 liters and is in the form of a concentrate. Buyers and sellers in the reviews like the fact that the drug is not afraid of freezing. After thawing, all bacteria remain active. The basis of the means for cesspools is a nitrate oxidant. In addition to nitrogen fertilization, the composition does not contain alkalis, formaldehydes or ammonium compounds. No skin irritation occurs. The substance is safe even if accidentally splashed into the eyes (it is sufficient to rinse with water). If someone has a closed cesspool (without drainage into the soil), then the substance can be poured out at the rate of 1-2 liters per 1 m³ a day before pumping out. Then the contents will dissolve and will not create problems during disposal.

We have placed the product in our 2019 ranking due to its economical consumption and relation to the price. A capacity of 2 liters costs up to 700 rubles, but due to the concentrate it is spent very slowly. For example, for a dry closet with a capacity of 10 liters, you will need only 15-30 ml of the product. To remove odor from the cesspool, use 50-100 ml, which is diluted in 5 liters of liquid. To maintain the patency of the autonomous sewage system of a private house, you will need to pour 50 ml into the toilet 1-2 times every week.

Advantages

• stored for 4 years;
• concentrate promotes economical consumption;
• does not irritate the skin;
• suitable for cesspools, buckets, cottage sewers;
• removes odors well.

disadvantages

• preliminary dilution with water is required;
• the dosage should be increased when the air temperature rises above 20 degrees.
