There are a number of
factors which influence the correct functioning of a pit latrine, e.g..
the depth and width of the pit, a high water table in that area, the use
of chemicals to control odour etc. and also the use of materials other
than toilet paper (cement packets, sticks, stones, etc!) for sanitation
purposes.
Bio-Effector is a natural bioremediation product that rapidly promotes
microbial activity in anaerobic and aerobic environments. It does not
contain any chemicals or additives. In a pit latrine a biological
activator ensures the faecal or biological matter is continuously
degraded which gives the system a greater capacity to continually
receive such waste. Part of the process effectively prevents the
generation of unpleasant odours. By-products of the biological process
are water (which is readily absorbed into the surrounding soil
structure) and gas (primarily methane). Regular use of the product can
result in the pit not becoming full and therefore the life of that pit
can be extended indefinitely.
The above also answers a possible second query in that, no, it is not a
chemical but yes Bio-Effector will ensure that the microbial colonies
present in the system will consume the faeces at an accelerated rate.

Bio-Effector
THE CURE FOR
CLOGGED SEPTIC TANKS AND OVERLOADED PIT TOILETS BLAIR TOILETS,
VIP VENTILATED IMPROVED PITS AND OTHER TYPES OF
SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS THAT ARE BIOLOGICALLY DYSFUNCTIONAL
Bio-Effector
- quickly stimulates the microbes in septic tanks and pit toilets to
rapidly degrade the sludge,
- is also effective in restoring the function of other types of sewage
disposal systems when these become clogged or cease to function as a
result of biological dysfunction,
- activates within 60 minutes, and as part of the process it will also
effectively prevent the generation of unpleasant odours!
- is non-hazardous and harmless to humans, animals, plant-life and the
environment in general.
It will clear unwelcome sludge from your septic tank, pit toilet or
other type of sewage disposal system
without expensive draining!

PRODUCT WHICH IS ALSO USED FOR THE TREATMENT OF BIOLOGICAL AND ORGANIC
WASTE WATER IN AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRY
HOUSEHOLD APPLICATIONS
The success of the suggested applications depends on the cleanliness of
the containers, bottles, etc. in which Bio-Effector is mixed or stored,
i.e. these must be completely free from any chemicals or detergents. It
is therefore suggested that new rather than recycled containers be used.
Water is an integral part of the success of Bio-Effector, as it needs
water in order to activate. Activation occurs within 60 minutes!
The first general indication that Bio-Effector is working is a reduction
of unpleasant odours.
Treatment of smelly outside areas such as paving, lawns, gardens,,
courtyards, etc. where dogs or cats (or humans) urinate or defecate:
Soak 25g Bio-Effector in 5 litres cold water
for approximately 2 hours or more, stirring frequently. The mixture is
ready when most of the solid particles have settled to the bottom of the
container. Strain the liquid into a handy 500ml bottle with a trigger
spray. Faecal matter should be removed as far as possible before
liberally spraying the surface of the affected area. The offending odour
should disappear within an hour.
Treatment of smelly urinals, drains, dirt bins, etc.:
Make a mixture as above. Spray liberally onto the surfaces of the
affected area.
Please note that Bio-Effector is not an air freshener or a deodoriser,
i.e. it is not intended to “clear the air” but rather to remedy the
cause or source of the odour. A reduction of odours should also result
in a reduction of any flies in the affected area.
There is no substitute for clean, sanitary habits!
Treatment of flush toilets
in drought stricken areas or where water restrictions
are in force:
Make a mixture as above. Keep the spray bottle handy in the toilet.
Spray three to five squirts into the toilet bowl, ensuring that any
exposed toilet paper or any other matter is dampened. Keep the toilet
lid closed between sittings. In this manner it is possible to use the
toilet a number of times (virtually odour free) before it becomes
necessary to flush because of the build-up of waste matter and toilet
paper in the bowl. The dregs from making this mixture can then also be
flushed into the system.
Treatment of septic and
conservancy tanks:
A dysfunctional sewage system is usually indicated by either an odorous
overflow or some form of smelly seepage, toilets or sinks backing up, or
generally just an unhealthy odour in the air.
Bio-Effector will not clear mechanical blockages (tree roots, etc.),
these must first be removed. Where blockages are caused by biological
matter, these will be degraded by Bio-Effector and the system will be
quickly cleared.
In areas where the water table is very high or rains cause a septic tank
to overflow, the water will not be removed by Bio-Effector. However, if
the system is biologically overloaded or clogged, Bio-Effector will
accelerate the degradation of the biological matter thereby increasing
the capacity of the system. It will also prevent the generation of
unpleasant odours which should result in a reduction of flies which can
result in a healthier, more hygienic environment.
Treatment: Because the condition of a conservancy or septic tank is not
always visible, it is recommended that the first treatment should be
with a 25g dose of Bio-Effector.
Mix the contents of the packet in 5 litres cold water
and stir thoroughly. Stand for 15 minutes
and then flush down the toilet. Depending on the amount of traffic flow
into the system, a repeat of this dosage is recommended every 3 to 6
months.
In between maintenance treatments should be applied every month with a
10g dose of Bio-Effector, mixed with 2 litres of water as described
above.
Larger conservancy or septic tanks (such as those designed for holiday
resorts, communal houses, flats, hostels, hotels, schools, etc.) will
require larger and more frequent doses.
Treatment of pit latrines:
It is recommended that the first treatment should be with a 25g dose of
Bio-Effector:
Mix the contents of the packet in 5 litres cold water
and stir thoroughly. Stand for 15 minutes
and then pour into the toilet. Depending on the amount of traffic flow
into the system, a repeat of this dosage is recommended every 1 to 3
months.
Communal or trench pit latrines will require larger and more frequent
doses. |
