FAQ

Aquarius SC works by helping to restore and maintain the bacterial balance that a septic tank relies on to break down organic waste. Each sachet contains a concentrated blend of more than six selected microbial cultures which become active within the septic system and support the natural biological processes taking place inside the tank.

These microbial cultures produce a range of enzymes, including amylase, protease, cellulase, lipase, pectinase and keratinase. Together, these enzymes help break down different types of organic waste, including fats, oils, proteins, carbohydrates and plant-based material, making it easier for the microorganisms within the system to consume and process the waste.

Aquarius SC also contains a culture that produces its own biosurfactant, helping the microorganisms interact with greasy and fatty waste within the system.

By regularly replenishing beneficial microbial activity, Aquarius SC helps maintain the biological conditions needed for efficient waste breakdown and can help reduce the accumulation of organic waste, fats and grease that can contribute to odours, slow drainage and blockages.

Unlike harsh chemical drain or septic treatments, Aquarius SC works biologically. It is non-toxic, non-caustic, non-corrosive, non-pathogenic and biodegradable, making it suitable for the ongoing biological maintenance of septic tanks, drainage systems and grease traps when used as directed.

Yes. Aquarius SC is a biological septic tank treatment designed to support the natural processes already taking place within your septic system, rather than relying on harsh chemical or caustic treatments.

The formula contains a blend of beneficial microbial cultures that help break down organic waste, fats and oils through natural biological activity. These microorganisms produce enzymes that target different types of organic material, helping the septic system process waste effectively while maintaining the bacterial balance it relies upon.

Aquarius SC is biodegradable, non-toxic, non-caustic, non-corrosive and non-pathogenic, making it a more environmentally responsible approach to routine septic tank maintenance.

Supporting healthy biological activity within the tank can also help reduce reliance on aggressive chemical treatments that may interfere with the microorganisms responsible for breaking down waste.

For the best results, Aquarius SC should always be used at the recommended dosage and as part of good septic system maintenance practices.

For a typical domestic septic tank, Aquarius SC should be used once a month. One 29 g soluble sachet provides the recommended monthly treatment for a septic tank with a capacity of up to 500 gallons (2,275 litres).

For larger domestic septic tanks, the dosage should be increased according to the tank’s capacity. Use one additional 29 g sachet per month for every additional 500 gallons (2,275 litres), or part thereof. For example, a septic tank with a capacity of between 500 and 1,000 gallons would require two sachets per month.

Using Aquarius SC regularly helps replenish the microbial cultures within the system and supports the bacterial balance required for the biological breakdown of organic waste.

Application is simple: place the required sachet into the toilet and flush it into the septic system. The sachets are pre-measured, so there is no need to open them or measure the contents.

For commercial septic tanks, drains and grease traps, treatment frequency can vary depending on the amount of grease, food waste and organic material entering the system. Commercial applications may require one sachet daily or weekly depending on the level of waste loading.

Yes, regular use of Aquarius SC may help reduce septic system maintenance costs. By supporting the natural breakdown of organic waste, fats and oils, it can help reduce build-up that may contribute to blockages, odours and unnecessary maintenance.

Aquarius SC does not replace routine septic tank inspections or desludging, but it can help keep the biological side of your system working efficiently between maintenance visits.

Yes. Aquarius SC is non-toxic, non-caustic, non-corrosive and non-pathogenic when used as directed. Unlike harsh chemical treatments, it uses selected microbial cultures to support the natural biological processes within your septic system.

The pre-measured soluble sachets also make application simple, with no need to handle or measure the product directly.

Aquarius SC is suitable for use in a wide range of domestic and commercial septic tank systems. Its microbial cultures work by supporting the natural biological breakdown of organic waste, making it suitable for systems that rely on bacterial activity to process waste.

For larger or heavily used systems, the dosage should be adjusted according to the tank capacity and level of waste entering the system.

Aquarius SC is non-toxic, non-caustic, non-corrosive and non-pathogenic and is designed to be straightforward to use as part of regular septic tank maintenance.

Each dose comes in a pre-measured soluble sachet, so there is no need to open the sachet, measure the product or handle the contents directly. Simply place the required sachet into the toilet and flush according to the usage instructions.

As with any biological treatment product, avoid unnecessary contact with the contents of a damaged or opened sachet and wash your hands after handling. Avoid contact with the eyes and do not ingest the product.

Aquarius SC should be stored in a cool, dry place, kept in its original packaging and kept out of reach of children and pets. Always follow the instructions provided with the product and use only the recommended dosage for your system.

Aquarius SC begins working once the microbial cultures become active within the septic system. However, the time it takes to notice an improvement can vary depending on the condition of the tank, the amount of organic waste present and how heavily the system is used.

With regular treatment, improvements such as reduced odours, better waste breakdown and improved drainage may become noticeable over the following weeks.

For the best results, Aquarius SC should be used consistently at the recommended dosage rather than as a one-off treatment.

Aquarius SC is a biodegradable biological treatment containing selected non-pathogenic microbial cultures. It works within the septic system by supporting the natural breakdown of organic waste, fats and oils rather than relying on harsh caustic or corrosive chemicals.

When used at the recommended dosage in a correctly functioning septic system, Aquarius SC is designed to support the biological treatment process within the tank. However, protecting groundwater and nearby water sources also depends on the septic system being correctly installed, maintained and compliant with local environmental requirements.

Yes, normal household cleaning products can generally be used alongside Aquarius SC, provided they are used in sensible amounts. However, excessive use of strong disinfectants, bleach and other harsh chemicals can disrupt the beneficial bacteria that septic tanks rely on to break down waste.

Where possible, choose septic-safe cleaning products and avoid pouring large quantities of bleach, disinfectants, solvents, oils or other chemicals down sinks and toilets.

Aquarius SC helps replenish beneficial microbial cultures within the system, but reducing unnecessary chemical use will help maintain a healthier bacterial balance and support effective biological waste breakdown.

Using Aquarius SC will reduce

Yes, Aquarius SC can help reduce unpleasant odours associated with the build-up and breakdown of organic waste in septic systems. Its microbial cultures support the natural biological processes that break down fats, oils and other organic material within the tank.

Regular treatment helps maintain healthy microbial activity and more efficient waste breakdown, which can help control odours caused by poorly decomposed organic matter.

However, persistent or unusually strong smells can also indicate problems such as a full tank, blocked pipework, ventilation issues or a fault with the septic system. In these cases, the underlying problem should be investigated rather than relying on biological treatment alone.
