Household products such as detergents, soaps, and shampoos contain sodium. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), sodium is the primary cause for soil compaction in clay soils. Removing sodium reduces soil compaction and improves the soil porosity (pore space). The result is improved water retention or capacity within the drain field.

When the drain field soil becomes compacted, low water retention of wastewater occurs. Eventually the soils turn into wet, soggy, drain fields. Left untreated, these soil problems can lead to septic system backup.

Sep2Max opens up clogged pore spaces and loosens and aerates the soil, thus increasing percolation.

Sep2Max will increase beneficial aerobic bacteria which needs oxygen to survive. Aerobic bacterial activity decreases or becomes inactive when the drain field soils become saturated. After the soil is treated with Sep2Max, it loosens and becomes aerated in the drain field. This process stimulates aerobic bacterial activity which is essential in treating wastewater.

The wastewater eventually percolates through the subsoil and reaches the water table. It is imperative that the aerobic bacteria in the drain field digests the contaminants in the wastewater.

Sep2Max will not affect the anaerobic bacteria and enzymes within the septic tank itself.
