Automatic Dosing. Fully Managed.
There are many ways to dose the bacteria. We can suspend a Wet Well Block that gradually dissolves and releases bacteria, our Waterless Urinal system uses the same principle in microcosm, but our Drain Management System automatically doses the friendly bacteria in a liquid format every night via a battery-operated automatic pump.
Don’t the bacteria get washed away?
Not once they get established. We dose them late at night to give them the maximum time to get to work. Bacteria tend not to be ‘planktonic’ swimming about at random. What they prefer is stick to surfaces. Like the inner walls of pipes and grease traps. The do this in the body too on the walls of our gut or – if they get into the wrong place – causing cystitis.
In drains and grease traps they form a ‘biofilm’ – it looks like slime but it’s a microbial city, teeming with life. The resident bacteria are protected by the biofilm and produce the FOG-digesting enzymes so they can feed.
The biofilm will keep growing along the waste pipes as time progresses. Biofilms are impossibly thin but tougher than Teflon. So, over time it’s not just the grease trap that benefits from billions of hungry bacteria, the whole drain system will.
