How and When to Treat
Septic Systems
If the septic system has reputed pumping as
often as once a year the probability is that
grease and solids have been going out into the
seepage area thus clogging or partially clogging
the surrounding soil and restricting drainage
Even where pumping has not been necessary
if the system is more than two or thiee years old
the probability is that some grease and solids
have escaped into the outflow and trouble is not
far off So the treatment schedule listed below
will be applicable in either situation
FOR EVERY 4 PEOPLE USING
THE SEPTIC SYSTEM
1 Start the MEDINA ACTINA program by flush
mg one pint ACTINA into any dram leading
directly into the septic tank
2 Two weeks later repeat the above treatment
3 Thereafter use one half pint each month
Treat regularly
If he septic system has a distribution box
between ihe septic tank and the seepage area
treat with ACTINA in the distribution box as
follows
1 For every 50 people using the septic system
pour 1 gallon ACTINA into the disti ibution
box
2 Three weeks later repeat the same treatment
This low cost preventive maintenance program
will help to preserve the useful life of the in
vestment in the septic system and will reduce the
necessity to pump out solids to an absolute
minimum When you consider the high cost of
replacing the septic system or any part of it the
investment you will be making in ACTINA should
reduce costs and show a worthwhile dividend
