| Q. |
Why Lenzyme? |
| A. |
Because of our unique blend of 5 enzymes and
bacteria. Each enzyme was created to break down a specific type
of solid waste found in septic tanks. The enzymes work where
bacteria bases products along will not. |
|
| Q. |
My system backed up for the first time.
What can I do to prevent this from happening again? |
| A. |
A backup is the first sign of septic system
failure. We can help you reverse the clogging
trend. You must start a maintenance program now or you will
be replacing your system soon. |
|
| Q. |
Will acid help my septic system? |
| A. |
Acids and chemicals work only temporarily. They
are extremely dangerous to use and harmful to the
environment. Acids are being banned in many states. |
|
| Q. |
I keep forgetting to use an additive each
month. How much should I use if I want to apply it just
once a year? |
| A. |
This is not recommended. The liquids in your
tank turn over 3-5 times a month. The bacteria and enzymes are
constantly being flushed out into the drain field where they
continue to help reduce drain field glazing. Adding Lenzyme
regularly will help keep an adequate supply of enzymes and
bacteria in your system. |
|
| Q. |
On the baking soda box, it says to add
baking soda to my septic system. Will this make it work
better? |
| A. |
Most enzymes and bacteria grow best in a
non-acidic environment. By adding baking soda, you raise the pH
to a neutral condition which makes the bacteria grow faster and
digest more of the waste. This is why we have included a pH
buffer in the Lenzyme formula. Of course baking soda does
not in itself add bacteria, nor does it break down wastes as
Lenzyme does. |
|
| Q. |
I've been told to put a cake of yeast in my
septic system. Does this help? |
| A. |
Very little. Yeast only breaks down starches
which represent a small percentage of the waste found in your
septic system. You need Lenzyme to give you a complete
breakdown of all five of the major types of waste found in your
septic system. |
|
| Q. |
Why do I need a pumping service? I
have received advertisements in the mail stating: - "Save
hundreds of $$ by never pumping again." - "Miracle
product eats everything in your septic tank." |
| A. |
These are wild and fraudulent claims. After
reading this information, you now know that there are two
necessary procedures for maintaining a properly working septic
system:
- Keep a high level of enzyme/bacteria action.
- Have regular periodic pump outs.
|
|
| Q. |
Will adding Lenzyme hurt my drains and
plumbing? |
| A. |
No. In fact, we recommend you add Lenzyme
monthly to different drains in your home. The enzymes and
bacteria will help reduce buildup of organic materials in your drain line
in addition to helping your septic tank and drain field. |
|
| Q. |
My neighbor says she pours her bacon grease
down the drain. Is this harmful to the septic system? |
| A. |
Never put grease of any type into your septic
system. Grease is one of the hardest organics to
digest. It cases blockages in drains, the septic tank, and
the drain field. That is why Lenzyme's formula is superior
because it included the enzyme "LIPASE" which breaks
down grease. |
