ProDave Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I am not sure what your question is, buy my recommendation is choose one of the treatment plants that work with an air blower, and avoid the ones that have moving mechanical parts down in the smelly stuff.

saveasteading Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 By muck munchers I am guessing you mean a macerater and pump like Saniflo. If so, then yes, they are fine for feeding to the stp. In fact they have turned the contents to soup and treatment will be all the quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everdecreasingcircle Posted April 19, 2023 Author Share Posted April 19, 2023 I believe they are good bacteria that you flush down the loo every month so to promote good bacteria? I just wondered if anyone on here had used them. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google site search is usually better than the forum search facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice on using them? Thank you. The answer might depend on what problem you are trying to solve? Personally I have used them for about 3 months (so starter dose plus 2 monthly doses) with the hope they would reduce the % solids in my STP and they don’t appear to have made any difference. Note that the STP was and is working fine anyway - I just wanted to see if they would extend interval between pumping which they claim to be able to do. Maybe 3 months is not long enough and maybe if %solids is already high then they can’t be expected to make inroads in that situation, so the jury is out atm.

saveasteading Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Now that I know that you mean a packet of bacteria I can answer again. I have put in I think 3 STPs and had no negative feedback from the clients. The manufacturers don't seem to insist on them either. A bag (or bottle) of it won't do any harm, especially at the start , to kick it off, because it won't get properly festering for a week or so. But I don't think you need anything.
