Extend the Life of Septic Systems

Septic System Basics

Modern septic systems have two main parts: a septic tank and a leaching field. In commercial systems, there may also be grease traps. Though some systems have additional components like pumps, the septic tank and leaching field do most of the work in treating waste.

​

How Septic Tanks Work

The septic tank receives wastewater from drains. Inside the tank:

  • Heavier solids settle at the bottom as sludge.

  • Lighter solids (like fats, oils, and grease) float to the top.

  • Natural microbes begin breaking down the organic waste into water-soluble fatty acids, carbon dioxide, and water.

Water exits the tank between the layers of scum and sludge, flowing to the leaching field. Over time, sludge builds up, and if not pumped regularly, scum can overflow into the leaching field.

​

How Leaching Fields Work

The leaching field further treats wastewater. If fats, oils, and grease overflow from the septic tank, they can plug the leaching field, causing it to fail and potentially need replacement.

​

By leveraging the power of beneficial microbes, Ultra-Archaea delivers consistent results in maintaining algae-free environments, promoting sustainable aquatic ecosystems.

​

Ultra-Archaea: A Natural Solution

Ultra-Archaea helps septic tanks and leaching fields stay efficient. These ancient microbes, sourced from hot springs and volcanoes, thrive in harsh environments. They break down organic waste into harmless fatty acids, carbon dioxide, and water. Fatty acids won’t clog leaching fields and can even organically fertilize them, keeping your system running smoothly.

Keeping Septic Tanks Clean and Efficient

Untreated septic tanks can build up sludge over time, leading to frequent pumping and expensive maintenance. In severe cases, blockages or system failures can cause costly damage both inside and outside the building.

​

Ultra-Archaea’s Remarkable Results

In this case, a septic tank that hadn't been pumped in over three years shows no thick floating sludge, thanks to monthly treatments with Ultra-Archaea. After just 1 lb. per month for one year, the tank has minimal bottom sludge and only soap suds on the surface, indicating efficient performance. The clear effluent is a strong sign of the system’s health.

​

Easy and Safe Treatment with Ultra-Archaea

Treating conventional septic tanks and systems with Ultra-Archaea is easy, affordable, safe, and environmentally beneficial. With shakers, tablets, or bags, Ultra-Archaea can be deployed directly into the septic tank itself or from within the business or residence.​​​
