HOW SEPTI-FLO WORKS
Our unique blend of enzymes and beneficial
bacteria (including AMYLASE, LIPASE, and PROTEASE) works tirelessly to break
down waste and promote efficient decomposition.
Amylase
Breaking
Down Starches
Amylase is
an enzyme that specifically targets and breaks down starches into simpler
sugars. Starches are commonly found in household waste, originating from food
scraps, paper products, and even certain cleaning agents. By converting these
complex carbohydrates into more manageable sugars, amylase helps prevent the
accumulation of undigested starches in the septic tank. This breakdown process
not only facilitates smoother waste flow but also reduces the risk of blockages
and backups.
Improved
Decomposition
The action
of amylase accelerates the decomposition process within the septic system. As
starches are transformed into simpler sugars, they become more accessible to
the beneficial bacteria in the tank. These bacteria then further digest and
decompose the sugars, enhancing the overall efficiency of waste breakdown.
Lipase
Breaking
Down Fats
Lipase is an
enzyme that targets and breaks down fats and oils into fatty acids and
glycerol. Fats and oils often enter the septic system through kitchen waste,
particularly from cooking and food disposal. When fats accumulate, they can
form clogs and hinder the system's performance. Lipase helps mitigate this
issue by effectively breaking down these lipids.
Preventing
Scum Formation
In addition
to breaking down fats, lipase plays a vital role in preventing the formation of
a scum layer on the surface of the septic tank. This scum layer can impede the
natural bacterial activity and reduce the system's overall efficiency. By
degrading fats and oils, lipase ensures that the septic tank remains free from
excessive scum buildup, promoting a healthier environment for waste processing.
Protease
Breaking
Down Proteins, Protease is an enzyme that specializes in breaking down proteins
into amino acids and smaller peptides. Proteins are present in various
household waste products, including food residues, bodily fluids, and certain
cleaning materials. Protease facilitates the decomposition of these complex
protein molecules, making them easier to digest for the bacteria within the
septic tank.
Enhanced
Bacterial Activity, the presence of protease in the septic system enhances the
activity of beneficial bacteria. As proteins are broken down into simpler
compounds, bacteria can more efficiently process and decompose the waste. This
leads to a more thorough and effective breakdown of organic matter,
contributing to the overall performance of the septic tank.
Synergistic Benefits
The
combination of amylase, lipase, and protease creates a synergistic effect that
optimizes the septic system's functionality. By targeting different types of
organic matter—starches, fats, and proteins—these enzymes ensure a
comprehensive breakdown process. This synergy results in reduced blockages,
improved waste flow, and enhanced bacterial activity, all of which contribute
to a high-performance septic system.
Incorporating enzymes like amylase, lipase, and protease into septic tank maintenance is a
wise investment for homeowners seeking to maintain an efficient and
trouble-free system. These enzymes provide targeted benefits that address
common waste components, promoting effective decomposition and preventing
costly issues. With their ability to break down starches, fats, and proteins, amylases,
lipase, and protease are indeed invaluable allies in septic tank care. For a
healthier and more reliable septic system, consider the advantages of these
essential enzymes.
