Provide Air For Bacterial Growth
Check your pit for the presence of a thick crust.
810-DIGESTER 3 works best when air is
available. However, the microbes In BIO
OIQESTER 3 can grow In both aerobic (presence
of air) and anaerobic (absence of air) conditions.
Bacterial digestion occurs most quickly under
aerobic conditions. Therefore, if your pit is covered
with a thlQk crust, you must puncture several holes
Into the crust to allow oxygen to penetrate Into
the pit. If this is not possible, running a hose,
attached to a small air compressor, Into the pit
will provide the air necessary to Initiate and
accelerate the digestion process.
Proper Mixing Of 810-OIGESTER 3
810-DIGESTER 3 must be activated before
addition to the pit This activation step Is
necessary to awaken the bacteria from their
dormant phase and convert them Into highly
active and vary hungry cultures. The activation
step Is simple Add the proper amount of BIO
DIGESTER 3, as determined from page 1 to a

bucket of warm (NOT HOT) water and allow to
set for approximately 20 minutes. This activates
the 810-DIGESTER 3. This slurry can then be
poured into the pit.
IMPORTANT- The bacteria In 810-DIGESTER 3
requires water lor proper growth. DO NOT

SLURRY ON TOP OF A CRUST LAYER AS IT
WILL DRY UP AND THE BACTERIA WILL OIEI
If you follow these few simple steps, within a few
days the foam and/or solids will appear and float
to the top of the pit. The crust will then begin to
wet, break up and eventually sink. Significant
reduction in odor production will be apparent after
one to two weeks, as bacteria continue to digest
solids In the pit. With continued treatments as
recommended, the crust wHI completely disappear
and the production of foul odors will cease
completely. The sooner you add 810-DIGESTER
3 to your pit, the sooner your solids and odor
problems will disappear.
