Application Instructions

SEPTIC PERC

(All drain field applications are based on a typical septic system with about 200 linear feet of absorption bed.)

Drain field leach field and pit maintenance:

Use 1 gallon every 6 months applied through the toilet, or convenient drain.

For sluggish septic system drain fields:

3 Gallons: 1 gallon per week for 3 weeks applied through a toilet, sink, or convenient drain. Flush thoroughly to aid distribution through the tank and into the drain field.

Failing or sluggish cesspools and seepage pits:

6 Gallons: 3 gallons applied directly to the pit for the first application, then 1 gallon per week for 3 weeks applied through a toilet, sink drain, or preferably, an opening in the pit.

Restoring Percolation to Failed Drain Fields Using a SHOCK Treatment:

Apply at least 4 gallons directly to the drain field soil through a distribution box, cleanout, riser, or tank outlet leading directly to the drain field, bypassing the septic tank. Have the tank pumped the day of the application to relieve back pressure and have the pumper pump until water returning from the field to the tank has stopped running before applying Septic Perc. Follow the application with enough fresh water from a garden hose to push the product deep into the field.

Severely degraded fields, or fields that have flooded can benefit from an application of industrial-grade Mega Bio™ bacteria drain field treatment. See our Combo Shock Treatment,

You may have to dig below the surface of the soil to find your distribution box. If you do not have, or cannot find, a distribution box or cleanout leading directly to the drain field, the product may be applied through the outlet of the septic tank using a funnel with a length of old garden hose attached. See our website for more details.

WARNING: Septic tanks can be hazardous. Poisonous gases collect at the top of the tank, and tank contents pose a health hazard. We recommend hiring a licensed professional septic service technician if the application must be done through the tank’s outlet or “D”box.
