Roebic K-570-Q 32-Ounce Leach And Drain Field Opener Concentrate - Environmentally Friendly and Biodegradable Solution

One bottle takes care of my 1500 gallon septic system ever two months. It’s less expensive than a new system. It helps keep our systems leach field OEM and draining properly.

Best stuff I’ve ever used. I can actually see my leach fields working. I now have a zig zig in my lawn of beautiful lush green grass. This is my new go to.

My 32yr old drainfield flooded (6" of rain) and backed-up our drainfield and septic tank. I need to also mention (with great regret) our deep freezer failed a few days beforehand and I flushed ALOT of thawed beef & chicken broth - GREASE into our septic. It's taken weeks of treatment (8 bottles in 6wks), and at present, our drainfield is functioning at 60-75% of normal of usage (8 people). I've read that septic treatment optimizes around 2-3 months, so it'll be worth the wait to avoid a $500 diagnostic, hundreds more for a "possible fix"...let alone a $10K new drainfield!For the record, we rarely use bleach or anti-bacterial sanitisers or anything simular that would further delay or stunt the needed bacterial for waste breakdown.Although I'm still in process and in hope of a success story, here's what I've done to-date:I initially had the tank emptied since the level was 2' higher than the drain pipe and coming up through my basement drain pipe! Two days after emptied, I poured 2 bottles of K-570 directly into drainfield pipe (pre distro box) and two days after that with the tank still low, I ran some water directly into the pipe and saw white smoke (methane) billow out (good sign). When the tank finally filled after 10 days of normal usage, the drainfield was still extremely slow, so I poured another bottle into the tank and one more into the vertical pipe that leads to the drainfield pipe. We slooowly started using the system again (try that with 6 kids lol) and after a couple weeks added 2 more bottles and again 2 weeks after that. Currently, the drainfield can now handle everything minus the clothes washer water (18-24ga/day on Avg) and baths (conservative showers only). That's with High Efficiency appliances and faucet/shower heads. Nevertheless, it appears with a combination of little to no rain + treatment, the system is beginning to recover. Since I'm only halfway into 3mon, I'm gonna wait another few weeks to see if there's any further progress.Hope that helps someone else out there!

Have had a wet spot in the leach field for over a year. Had a septic company come and look at it and they wanted a lot of money for a new field. Tried a bottle of this and it worked!!! No more wet spot and saved us thousands of dollars!

Amazing product. Must have in our home to maintain septic. For us It was a miracle in a bottle when we were having drain field issues. We were told by our septic company that we need a new drain field. After using this product a few times, our drain field came back to life.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Did not work as well as expected

Our drainfield was so dead we burned through a septic pump twice- it just never shut off trying to push water out there. We were constantly having backups into our basement. We had the lines cleared of tree roots thinking that would help but it didn't. The second time our pump died was our wake up call that our system was broken, and the guy told us "if this doesn't work you need a new drainfield." We were looking at a $30k mound system. I read a lot about this and Green Pig products and we decided we had nothing to lose. We stopped putting water down our system for about a week. Showered at the gym, used the toilet at the gas station, put buckets in the sink to wash hands and dishes and dumped it out side. While we did that, every day I dumped a bottle of this stuff and a packet of Green Pig down our lateral lines and prayed. I also dumped some in the tanks and down the toilet (once each). We slowly started using water again, taking short showers, turning the water off while soaping up, and using the toilet but only flushing brown. I kept adding these products, but increased the time between treatments to every other day, and then every few days. We tested the system with a load of laundry. I sat outside by our pump and hear it turn on. And then it turned back off! It worked! We slowly ramped our water usage back up to normal, and I kept going out to listen to the pump and it was working normally as it should. It's been over 6 months and everything is working great. I now treat our system on a monthly basis with half a bottle this stuff and one packet of Green Pig. A plumber I spoke to said it's all just bacteria, and you can't add too much, so I will probably continue to do so indefinitely. I don't ever want to be back in that situation of worrying about our system. That was a nightmare I'm so glad is over.

Our drain field wouldn't accept any water. Wash a load of clothes, shower or run the dish washer and egg smelling water would run out of the ground above the septic tank.Called a professional and was told my drain field is 24 years old and was done for because of tree roots (they didn't come check it, just told me over the phone). They quoted me $6k for a new drain field and $550 for the pump. I mentioned trying a product like this and was told nothing would work.I decided to try the Roebic K-77 Root Killer and the next night tried this product . Why not at that point it couldn't hurt to try. I used the least amount of water in the house for a few days. 10 days out now and I've washed all the blankets and sheets today, 4 loads. No water running to the surface and no egg smell.Fingers crossed, so far it's doing exactly what it claims. I bought another bottle of each to have on hand just in case and if it all works out I'll have them to use again this summer
