Septic System Bacteria
Cape Cod Biochemical CCLS
CCLS from Cape Cod Biochemical was originally formulated for municipal waste treatment facilities, and the technology has been miniaturized for onsite septic systems. It contains enzymes immediately available to break down solids buildup in drains, pipes, septic tanks and soil absorption systems. It also contains reproductive bacteria for continued aid in solids digestion and settling, suspended solids removal and odor control.

Century Chemical Bio-Tab
Bio-Tab from Century Chemical is a tablet that sinks to the bottom of septic tanks where buildup problems begin. There, self-reproducing bacteria and enzymes gradually dissolve to create a growing area of activity, digesting and liquefying organic waste — treating the entire system, including the drainfield, according to the maker. Common household chemicals such as anti-bacterial products, bleaches, detergents or a heavy presence of antibiotics can kill already-low levels of bacteria in the septic system. When this happens, waste is no longer being digested, resulting in buildups of solids that plug the system and give off offensive odors. Bio-Tab establishes itself by working from the inside out, and regular usage — combined with routine pumping — can aid and support the natural digestion of waste, helping septic systems maintain good working condition. 800-348-3505; www.bio-tab.com
