Green Pig 56 Live Septic Tank Treatment 5-Year Supply Ultimate Solution in Preventing Expensive Backups, Clogs, or Drain Field Failures with 20-Easy Drop-in and Flush Packets, Supply-20 Count

Very easy to use just flush in toilet and it works miracles. Had issues with my cesspool filling offer now that I use this product I no longer have the problem. Maintain your system by using this product regularly.

I buy this and slpit it with my mom. That way we both get 2 1/2 years of Green Pig. This stuff works so well that I haven't had to have the septic system pumped out for several years! It's really easy to use and there is almost no odor. We love Green Pig and will never use anything else!!!

Our drainfield was so dead we burned through a septic pump twice- it just never shut off trying to push water out there. We were constantly having backups into our basement. We had the lateral lines cleared of tree roots thinking that would help but it didn't. The second time our pump died was our wake up call that our system was broken, and the guy told us "if this doesn't work you need a new drainfield." We were looking at a $30k mound system. I read a lot about this and Roebic drainfield products and we decided we had nothing to lose. We stopped putting water down our system for about a week. Showered at the gym, used the toilet at the gas station, put buckets in the sink to wash hands and dishes and dumped it out side. While we did that, every day I dumped a packet of the Green Pig (mixed with water) and a bottle of Roebic drainfield opener down our lateral lines and prayed. I also dumped some in the tanks and down the toilet (once each). We slowly started using water again, taking short showers (turning the water off while soaping up), and using the toilet but only flushing brown. I kept adding these products, but increased the time between treatments to every other day, and then every few days. We tested the system with a load of laundry. I sat outside by our pump and heard it turn on. And then it turned back off! It worked! We slowly ramped our water usage back up to normal, and I kept going out to listen to the pump and it was working normally as it should. It's been over 6 months and everything is working great. I now treat our system on a monthly basis with a packet of this stuff and a half bottle of Roebic drainfield opener (I put it in the toilet now). A plumber I spoke to said it's all just bacteria, and you can't add too much, so I will probably continue to do so indefinitely. I don't ever want to be back in that situation of worrying about our system. That was a nightmare I'm so glad is over.

Not sure how it works to be truthful

My wife & I bought a home that’s almost 40 years old a little over a year ago. I have no idea when the septic tank was pumped out or serviced last. I bought the Green Pig “emergency” kit that included this 1 year supply.We weren’t experiencing any septic problems but I wanted to keep it that way. I just bought my second year supply of this because I feel like it’s doing what it supposed to do. I like that I only have to put a packet in every 3 months.I flush a packet down at night after it dissolves before going to bed. I do this since water usage is at a minimal for at least few hours. I believe this product works & is a good value for the money.

Have used this for years and no problem with septic. Don't really know if this product is the reason or not, but at least no problems

Since we have a small septic tank, I use one pod every month to keep the bacteria active. We have not had a problem in the eight years we've been living here.

I don't know where to start. My septic field lines had been clogged for a long time. Maybe the clog was in the distribution box. The yard smelled terrible and if the lady of the house did more than one load of cloths - a wonderful natural spring came up in the yard. Started to have my system pumped yearly, and all the so called professionals told me that additives do not work. I was told that the only thing that could be done was pay $3000 to have the lines replaced (Nice). As a matter of fact the last gentleman that came refused to pump my tank and threatened to turn me in to the county unless I paid him on the spot (Even Nicer). I then went to http://inspectapedia.com and read the link on what not to put into a septic tank. They went over so much that I never thought twice of discarding down the drain, such as – alcohol in my mouth watch – old medications – antibacterial soaps – phosphates in laundry detergent – liquid vs powder detergent – brands of dish soap – store brand vs. premium tissue paper, baby wipes, dental floss, etc..For folks that only want a good product to maintain their septic system what I am about to write really dose not apply. If your septic system has backed up, flooded your house, made your neighbor hood smell like a slaughter house - basically your system has failed. It may even be dead.This is what I did to correct mine. I purchased the five year supply of green pig from Amazon – and followed the directions of some of the previous reviewers that have done more research than my self. As soon as I received Green Pig from Amazon I opened it and poured one year supply in the toilet. Two weeks later I poured another years supply down the drain. One month after that I poured another years supply down the drain. Then I poured one packet down the drain per month - I did this for two more months. Kind of like shocking a swimming pool green with agile – getting the Flora and fauna where it needs to be. Still no positive results at this point. I figured that I gave it the old college try and failed - till one early morning in May I heard all the toilets in the house gurgle (kind of eerie). When I got up the next morning my stomach went to knotting up and was debating calling the jerk that wanted to replace my lines or else. We had rain for about a week after that and when the yard dried up the huge wet spot where grass refused to grow dried up. So for those of you that were in my position – give Green Pig a chance to work – It took my system a few months, and if you system is not physically damaged, just clogged – you may save your self thousands of dollars. +God bless the people at Green Pig, and the only reason that it gets five stars is ten stars are not available.
