Residential > Greywater > Blockage

Blockages in your greywater system are caused by fat, oil, grease, soap and hair clumping together and sitting in your greywater tank.

To get rid of blockages you can introduce readily biodegradable surfactants and specialty bacteria which rapidly digest the blockages.

This combination of odour suppression and waste digestion means your blockages are eliminated and your tank is able to digest waste instead of just holding it.

Your solution

For greywater blockages, we recommend the following products and dosage. Blockages are expected to disappear within 2-3 weeks.

Product

EcoCare Activator 10L
EcoCare Kitchen Clear 1L

Dosage Instructions

Kitchen Clear
Add 80 mls of EcoCare Kitchen Clear into the kitchen drain each week, following up immediately with a cup of water at room temperature. Continue until bottle is finished.

Activator
Add total of 750 mls of EcoCare Activator down the toilet each week for a minimum of 3 months. Once blockage is alleviated, switch to using the maintenance dose of Activator which is 125ml per person, per week.

What makes our products different?

Most septic, AWTS or greywater treatment products use bacteria or enzymes to improve system performance. Whilst we do provide specialty bacteria, we know that the underlying cause of most wastewater issues are poor biological conditions within the system that kill the bacteria necessary for waste breakdown.

EcoCare’s Biological Stimulant Technology introduces select nutrients, minerals and amino acids that improve biological conditions, overcome the damage caused by everyday household chemicals and allow beneficial bacteria to maintain healthy populations. This is what allows septic systems to operate at peak performance and minimises the need for pump outs and expensive repairs.

Residential > Greywater > Odour

Odours from your greywater system are caused by fat, oil, grease, soap and hair clumping together and sitting in your greywater tank.

To get rid of this smell you can introduce readily biodegradable surfactants which trap odour molecules and specialty bacteria which rapidly digest the odour-causing waste in your greywater tank.

This combination of odour suppression and waste digestion means your greywater odours are eliminated and your tank is able to digest waste instead of just holding it.

Your solution

For greywater odours, we recommend the following products and dosage. Odours are expected to disappear within 2-3 weeks.

Residential > Grease Trap > Blockage > KC Blockage

Blockages in your grease trap are caused by food waste, fat, oil and grease which have accumulated in your grease trap and are preventing proper drainage.

The fastest way to get rid of your grease trap blockage is to introduce specialty fat, oil and grease digesting bacteria which will quickly digest the blockage and allow your grease trap to function properly.

EcoCare Kitchen Clear contains specialty beneficial bacteria to rapidly dissolve blockages and readily biodegradable surfactants which will trap odours and help loosen waste particles.

Residential > Grease Trap > Odour > KC Odour

Odours from your grease trap are caused by food waste, fat, oil and grease slowly decomposing in the grease trap. As these trapped particles break down, they release odours which escape through the drain and into your home.

Blockages in your grease trap are caused by food waste, fat, oil and grease which have accumulated in your grease trap and are preventing proper drainage.

The fastest way to get rid of grease trap odours and blockages is to introduce specialty fat, oil and grease digesting bacteria which will quickly digest the waste, remove odours and restore drainage.

EcoCare Kitchen Clear contains specialty beneficial bacteria to rapidly digest blockages and readily biodegradable surfactants which will trap odours and help loosen waste particles.

What does EcoShield protect your system from?
Antibiotics and certain medications damage the essential bacteria within septic systems, but the leading contributor to septic system failure is the use of conventional chemical-based cleaners and detergents. They kill the bacteria in your system needed to break down waste. Without these healthy bacteria present, smells, blockages and costly repairs soon follow.

Make the smarter choice
By switching to EcoShield products you eliminate the use of harsh chemical cleaners and lengthen the lifespan of your system. Products in the EcoShield range contain nutrients and minerals that actively stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria in your tank so that you can clean your home with peace of mind.

Commercial > Cleaning > EcoShield Commercial

The EcoShield range of cleaning products has been designed to provide a refreshingly spotless clean without damaging wastewater systems. EcoShield products are natural, environmentally responsible, non-toxic, non-hazardous and readily biodegradable.

Whether you’re looking for commercial cleaning products to clean premises with septic systems or to provide a more environmentally responsible cleaning service, you will find the products you need in the EcoShield range.

We have larger containers for our commercial cleaning customers available below, but if you can’t find what you’re looking for please get in touch with us.

Commercial > Septic/AWTS > New system/Pumped Out > 6+ people

New septic or AWTS systems need to be seeded with the right types of bacteria and nutrients so that the system is able to quickly reach optimal bacterial populations and efficiently digest waste. Similarly, after a pump out, systems need to be reseeded with bacteria and nutrients so that they can return to peak performance.

To ensure the beneficial bacteria are able to quickly reach effective populations, our solutions contain specific micro and macro nutrients required for these bacteria to rapidly multiply and grow.

“I was struggling with my septic system when I first moved here from the city. EcoCare helped me with advice, and then the Activator product. I used the product for some years, very successfully, got complacent, but I have recently started using it again. I am so happy with the product that I won’t ever get complacent again.”

– Lynn Takayama

“11years ago we were told that we would need to replace the septic at around $15-20,000 on our newly purchased property. Instead we took a chance on a product we’d seen advertised in a newspaper at the time. It is called EcoCare. It took about 6 months to get the septic system healthy again and now 11 years later we have still have not had to replace our septic system. Hard to believe myself. Great product and wonderful after purchase service if you have any questions.”

– Lynne Parry
