Significant improvement to older sluggish system
For several years our septic system has been from sluggish, to backing up, to on the verge of complete failure depending on the amount of rain. I didn't have the money for a new system, so I have tried several things. I have tried oxygen bleach directly in the field lines, which is a pain and only helped a little. I tried lime-sulfur in the field lines, which didn't help at all. I was running out of affordable options. A search of Amazon led me to another product called "Biowish 100109 Septic Rescue" to restore failed systems using live bacteria with good reviews, but it costs a lot more than GreenPig and GreenPig has similar reviews. I decided to try a two year supply and use it similar to the instructions for the Biowish. I used two doses the first day and a week later I could actually walk across that part of my yard without marring up in the muck. One week after the first two doses, I used two more to be a booster. It has been almost a month since the first dose and the problem area that was about 30 feet long and six feet wide has dried up and the grass has grown back. I would recommend anyone having problems with an old sluggish septic system try GreenPig before spending the big bucks. I don't know why they don't market GreenPig as a septic restorer instead of just a maintainer.
