How can I help to keep odours normal?
Very bad smells are typically caused by high sulfur in the water (gypsum, black shale, pyrite areas), high-strength sewage from water conservation methods, or an unhealthy septic tank. The Biofilter containers can direct all gases through a charcoal filter, and many designs can recirculate treated effluent to the septic tank. For a healthy septic tank, use bleach and disinfectants only in moderation, and do not use toilet pucks or detergent with bleach. Ensure the ‘stink vent pipe’ on the roof is high enough to disperse septic tank gases.
