Most People Have No Clue About THE
DANGER Inside Their Septic Tanks...
In 2015, The Department of Health estimated that 31% of
the septic tank systems in US were failing to some degree.
And that has been identi ed as the number one
groundwater contamination factor in the US.
There are three types of bacteria always present in a septic
tank system.
• aerobic bacteria, which is the good bacteria that helps
break down waste.
• anaerobic bacteria - they are less ef cient at breaking
down solids - in fact they hardly do any work inside your
septic tank and they are typically carriers of disease.
• fecal coliforms
