One of the most common questions we get about the Septic Genie is whether the Genie will work in a single chamber septic tank? If you have watched our videos and read our installation instructions you will see that we show how to install the Genie in a two chamber septic tank. Why? Because two chamber tanks are becoming more popular as they provide a more efficient method for separating the solids from the liquid.
Despite the recent popularity of two chamber tanks, the Septic Genie was specifically designed to work with just about any type of septic tank, and a single chamber septic tank is no exception.
To better understand why it works it either a single or two chamber tank, it is important to understand what the Septic Genie does and why it doesn’t matter what type of tank you have.
The most common failure in any septic system is the buildup of bio-mat that in turn decreases the drain field’s ability to flow by clogging the soil. Bio-mat is a sludgy, black slime that builds up over time as raw sewage is released into the ground. Over time this bio-mat clogs the soil and decreases and even eliminates drainage. The result? Your drain field becomes a squishy bog.
As your drain field fails, the liquid begins to rise to the surface. This results in boggy soil over your drain field, and even creates areas of surface water. Other signs of a failed septic system includes foul odors, gurgling drains and even backups in the house. The lowest plumbing fixtures, usually toilets, are prone to back up when the system fails.
The solution is Septic Genie. Whether you have a single chamber or two chamber tank, the Septic Genie will go to work immediately upon installation thanks to the good bacteria that is introduced.
This all natural process begins to restore your septic system in an environmentally safe and efficient manner with the introduction of our special blend of bacteria that “eats” the organic matter in your septic tank and drain field. Over time the number of bacteria grows to a point where not only is the soil in your drain field cleaned up, but the actual water draining into the field is a clear liquid that will allow your drain field to function like it was originally designed to do.
The result of the Septic Genie is decreased maintenance costs as the need for pumping your tank is decreased dramatically, and the fear of bio-mat buildup is eliminated indefinitely. There is no need for the expense of digging up and replacing your drain field. Even the foul odors are eliminated in as little as 24 hours.
The Septic Genie is cost-effective, easy to install and will give you the peace of mind that your septic system will continue to work efficiently for years to come.
In summary, Septic Genie will work no matter what type of septic tank you have.
