For homes & smallholdings

Cut the crap!

Ditch the chemicals that just mask the problem. Living bacteria digest the sewage, fats and waste in your septic tank, drains and toilets — cutting out smells, blockages and honeysucker call-outs.

  • Safe for tanks & soakaways
  • Natural, not caustic
  • SANAS-verified

The problem

Sound familiar?

These are the signs that waste is building up faster than the system can break it down.

01

Bad smells

Drifting from the tank, drain or toilet.

02

Slow drains

Gurgles and back-ups - the system can't keep up.

03

Blocked soakaways

Overflowing, saturated tanks and fields.

04

Honeysucker call-outs

Costly pump-outs every few months.

Harsh chemicals mask it for a week. The biology fixes the cause.

How it works at home

A whole system sorted from one scoop. Tanks a lot!

One scoop, three obvious dose points

Put Baczyme where the waste enters the system.

5gscoop

Daily or weekly

Choose the dose point that matches the problem.

1

Toilet

For septic tanks and pit toilet odours

2

Drain

For kitchen, shower and gully smells

3

Septic tank

For weekly maintenance dosing

Then the biology spreads

Once it is in the wastewater, the bacteria wake up, multiply and move through the connected tank, drain or pit.

Smells fade
Grease digests
Blockages loosen
1

Scoop it in

Dose the place where the problem starts.

  • Daily: one 5g scoop into the toilet, drain or tank.
  • Weekly: one 30g dose if you prefer a set-and-forget rhythm.

Either way: under a minute.

2

They multiply

The dormant bacteria wake up in the wastewater.

  • Wake up: moisture and waste activate the culture.
  • Spread: they move through the connected tank, drain or pit.

No mixing, measuring or boosters.

3

They eat the waste

The biology digests what causes the mess.

  • Breaks down: sewage, fats, grease and organic solids.
  • Clears up: smells fade and blockages loosen as waste is digested.

The fix happens at the cause.

Household solutions

Scoop, there it is.

Pick the powder for the job. Sewage Powder looks after anything holding waste; Drain Powder works through the greasy, soapy build-up in household lines. Start small for routine home dosing, then size up for busier homes and smallholdings.

Getting the best results

Give the biology what it needs.

Help it along

  • Dose consistently. Dose on schedule to keep the culture stable.
  • Keep it near neutral. A pH around 7 keeps the bacteria comfortable.
  • Give it time. Let the biology move through the system before judging results.
  • Let it breathe. Airflow and water movement help it spread.

Avoid

  • Bleach, Jik and disinfectants. They can kill the culture you have just added.
  • Harsh chemicals. Strong acids, bases and harsh detergents slow results.
  • Adding boosters. Everything needed is already in the product.

Larger systems

Not a household, or managing something bigger?

Commercial sites, lodges and contaminated water jobs are usually assessed before a product is recommended.
