How do drain openers, disinfectants and cleaners affect bacterial digestion?
Most detergents, soaps, and cleaners are partially or completely degradable, and will not harm the bacterial digestion process. However, caustic or acid drain openers, chlorine bleach and other disinfectants and sanitizers will kill or severely inhibit the bacteria. If these products are used heavily or frequently, increase your treatment rate to compensate. Re-treat 1 to 2 days after the use of any these harsh chemicals.
