How Does RodX Stop
Odors
Basically, septic systems fail due to chemical,
biological or physical causes. In the presence
of a rainy or snow melt situation, normal system
pressures change and cause flow to backup into the
aerobic soil which contains millions of cleanup
organisms per tablespoon. Once flooded, the soil
bacteria "drown" and die, forming a black tarlike
layer of (septic odor producing/rotten egg smell) ferrous sulfide
which further blocks drainage. Finally, the flooding
physically rises, backs up into the tank and, in many
cases the house or rises to the surface and floods
the yard. P.A.M (an active ingredient in RodX)
chemically reverses the process, absorbing the water,
expanding the soil, and allowing the bacteria to breathe..
...the soil "clumps" up in larger particles, allowing
passage of flow, increasing water evaporation rate up to 500%,
and quickly restoring aerobic soil conditions (normal earthy
smell)
required for the leaching field cleanup processes.
