Nice product
I typically purchase the powder septic treatment and the liquid is so much easier to flush. One flush gets everything down. At first I was a little skeptical because it is alot more product than I typically use, but according to the directions it is a 3 month treatment which is nice. I was treating every month prior to this product. I like that this product is not tested on animals and has a pleasant smell.

septic treatment
I am not sure how this product is working since I only applied it a little over a week ago but so far so good. It was easy to do the treatments...read the directions to make sure you are treating properly. Overall it was easy and clean and did not have any negative issues. I cannot see or tell how well it is working on the septic basin for obvious reasons but it seems like a good thing to do to ensure the performance.

It goes down the drain..
This product didn't have any chemical smell and had a bit of a fragrance to it, all natural, that's good. I poured down sink that always gives me problems thinking it can't hurt. Poured out with no splash back, color was a creamy clear white that was thicker than water. I rinsed out jug well and recycled the container. All went good with this and I am not expecting anything different with the drain I dumped into because the piping was run wrong with very little pitch. I am hoping that it was not money down the drain, fairly priced. 5 STARS

Easy Septic treatment
Easy way to treat septic tank system. Simply open pour into drain or toilet. No powder or dusty mixes to contend with. Easily opens and flushes easily. Also very reasonably priced. It will be hard to assess its full effectiveness until my next septic treatment pumping. But this has similar active ingredients as nationally recognized products so I am confident it will wok effectively.

naturally safe, friendly microbes
Since this product needs to be used monthly, and we haven't had any issues with our septic system, this is kind of hard to do a good review on. I like the idea that's it supposed to be all natural and that it treats all drain and sewage lines. it is supposed to increase the digestion of waste in the septic tank and digest and removes sludge deposits in the leach field. It's very easy to use. Just pour (carefully) into a toilet and flush. Hopefully this will keep our system in order. We'll use it for several months and check back

Effective and environmentally friendly!
There were a few things I really liked about using this product. First, it is very easy to use. You simply pour it into a drain or toilet and flush water through. Voila! Done. Next, I like how it works on the concept of biology, only using beneficial bacterias to help maintain your septic system. Being that the septic can easily affect the surrounding area it makes me feel comfortable that I'm not pouring something in that is harmful to the health of our animals or wildlife. And finally, speaking of animals, I was pleased to read that this was not tested on animals! That we have so much technology these days it just seems unnecessary to test products on animals, as well as it being cruel. SO, THANK YOU to this company for making a great product and also being conscious of morals!

Natural and environmentally friendly product
Owning a private septic system, I try to do my best to maintain it's good operation. I have previously used other brands of septic tank treatments, but was curious how this brand would perform. I like that it is packaged in an easy to use and store plastic container. Application was simple - pour in drain or toilet and flush with water. I noticed that the product was subject to splashing as I poured it into my toilet bowl so careful attention is advised while pouring. I was very impressed that the active ingredients are naturally grown bacillus and derivatives from various fruits and vegetable based cleaning agents - all natural microbes and no GMOs. This is truly a biological product that is environment friendly. You do however, as with most treatments and cleaners, need to keep this product out of the reach of children. Normal use requires adding one container every three months. More frequent if cooking greases are poured down your drain. If you are having septic difficulties, one container per week for 8 weeks is advised, followed by monthly treatments. This product can be used year round in all climates for septic system preventive maintenance and clog-free drains. This is a very economical product for maintaining good septic system performance. I have already purchased an additional bottle and marked my calendar so I will be on schedule for the next application.

EASY TO USE
This product says it is for year around septic system preventive maintenance and clog free drains. The active ingredients include naturally specifically grown bacillus for digestion of household waste. It also has derivatives of coconuts, lemons and vegetable based cleaning agents. I poured it down my kitchen sink because of the grease and stuff that comes from cooking and can leave sludge on the pipes. It has no odor. We were not having a problem with our septic system so I hope monthly treatments with Drainbo Septic System Treatment and Cleaner will keep it that way. Septic problems are no fun.

Should be a good cleaner.
Even though I have only had this product for a very short time I feel this will be a great product in the long haul. I just had my septic tank pumped about a week before I received this treatment. I talked to the plummer who did the clean out and he said that Drainbo is a good septic tank treatment and cleaner. I will have to do a update on this review on down the road after giving this product a chance to do it's thing.

The cleaner does a good job
The septic tank cleaner should do a good job to clean and treat the septic tank. All you do is pour it in and flush. It is no way to know instantly if it is doing what it is supposed to do. You cannot see it working or the results. You just have to wait and see. It has low odor. According to the contents on the packing it should work very well. Time will tell.

Easy treatment
Only time will tell with a product like this, but it's very easy to use. You have to use the entire container at once. Like most others, you just pour it down the toilet and flush. This particular product says it also unclogs, which is a plus. We're pleased with the ease but will have to wait for a few months to see the true effects of the product. Will post again at that time.

Easy to use.
Ordered this product to treat my twenty three year old septic tank. The ease of this product is outstanding. No measuring, no mixing. Just pour the entire bottle in the toilet and let it do it's magic. It's that easy. The product is long lasting too. One treatment will last up to three months. If you want a quality product at a good price then I would recommend this product.

Preventive maintenance
Our home was built in 1980 and we purchased it one year ago which has a septic system. Although we had the system checked and tank pumped before we moved in, I thought maybe considering the age of the system this product should keep the system operational for many years to come. Preventive maintenance will keep it working properly. With this products features it only makes sense.

Environmentally Safe
Very natural non-toxic formula with no harsh chemicals to harm the environment or pipes. Keeps septic system balanced digesting waste and removal of sludge deposits in leach lines and field. One treatment lasts 3 months -- just simply flush down the toilet. This is the second home where I have a septic system and have learned the hard way not to let grease down your kitchen drain. Also coffee grounds and feminine products are a no-no. In combination with this care, this product is a good preventative.

Drain I does it all!
Drainbo offers so much in one bottle at one great price. This product unclogs those nasty drains, treats your septic system and cleans the leach lines of the grease and soaps that are harmful. Once upon a time I used one product to unclog my bathroom drain and another product I would pour into the system to clean out the leach lines and monthly I would use another product to clean the septic tank, I was spending a small fortune trying to prevent more damage that would amount to a very expensive repair. Not anymore, I will use only one product and that product is Drainbo for all of my septic plumbing needs. It seems to be the Smart Choice!

Easy to use
Poured this product down one of our toilets today. We haven't been having any problems with our septic and are hoping that it stays that way. This clearner should keep that from happening and should also clean our drain field outlets to make sure they stay clog free. Since we have a two drain field system I will need to buy another bottle to use on the other drain field when I switch the bull valve over at the beginning of the new year.

Septic tank treatment
About a year ago we moved into a house with a septic system that is about 30 years old. It had been sitting empty for about 4 years and we got the house pretty much sight unseen with no inspections. You can do that if you pay cash for a repo. So i had a little mishap with driving over the lid of one of the tanks and broke the lid and got some dirt into the grey water tank and then since it was dug up I had the tanks both pumped. There was no apparent problem with either system but the guy kept pushing his jar of bugs as an additive to keep the tank functioning. He wanted $50 for a jug. I thought it was ridiculous. I have added a jug of this additive to my tank and have no way to honestly tell if it is working or not, and I expect it may be some time before a problem might crop up. I guess I am looking at the application as really cheap insurance. May be the manufacturer can chime in and tell the theory behind adding chemicals to a system as I have no information on the subject other than ad copy.

This product has saved me $10K!
I live on a property with high water table and insufficient field lines. With 3 kids we have water running all the time. We developed a wet spot in the yard. 2 different companies came out and assessed that we needed a new leach field. Unfortunately, our property is heavily wooded and running downhill to multiple streams. The only solution was a new lift station to pump material up a hill in the woods so it could drain back down. This was a huge expense. On a whim I got a case (3 bottles) of the Drainbo Septic Treatment. After the first treatment I did not notice much change. But the instructions said, in my case, to use the product for once a week for 8 weeks. After the second treatment the results were amazing. For the first time in 2 years I walked on this spot in the yard. I mowed without sinking into the stinky mud. There was no stinky mud. There was no messy black mat. After the 3rd treatment the grass has filled in. This spot was about the size of a full size car. It is now invisible. I am amazed! 5 more treatments to go, then on to monthly treatments. Is this permanent? I don't know, but at worst I have delayed a huge expense with a $100 investment. I cannot recommend this product highly enough. If you are having a septic nightmare, give Drainbo a try first.
