BZT Drain & Septic

Chemical-Free Drain & Septic Treatment: Good for You and Planet Earth

Septic_tank

United-Tech develops revolutionary, highly effective products to treat organic waste. We aim to reduce dependency on harmful, caustic chemicals that often create more problems than they ‘solve.’

One such discovery is BZT Drain & Septic, a living, all-natural and biological product designed to treat and maintain healthy pipes, keep odors down naturally (by outcompeting H2S-forming bacteria for nutrients), and maintain biologically-balanced septic tanks.

Providing eco-friendly treatment solutions is our business. Drainlines and septic systems are a piece of cake for BZT. Odors are easily managed, drains flow free, and septic systems become much less of a hassle to maintain.

Then there are the extremes. For example, this Florida man recently died from Hydrogen Sulfide inhalation from his septic system. Though not a common occurrence, it can be treated - naturally - and prevented. For example, the microorganisms in BZT Drain & Septic outcompete H2S-forming bacteria for nutrients. This process in turn reduces or eliminates the foul-smelling fumes that often build up in these systems.

Why reduce your dependance on caustic chemicals? Many drain treatment products contain large amounts of acids, lye or other caustic compounds. These may temporarily burn away clogging material, but the use of chemicals in such vital systems can and often create more upsets. For instance, drain-opening chemicals regularly wipe out the beneficial bacteria these systems depend on for liquefaction - on contact. Chemicals loosen chunks of solids, but because there is no digestion of the waste occurring, this material often clumps up further down the line and causes blockage.

When beneficial microorganisms within a waste treatment system are abused or destroyed, digestion of organic material slows or stops. Caustics change soil structure, too, breaking down the drain field into finer particles of dirt that pack together, reducing the ability of the liquids to drain. The result is no surprise to us, a bog of eternal stench.

BZT® Drain & Septic can eliminate the need for chemical treatment and prevent these upsets - safely, efficiently, and naturally.

So why on earth should you replace the drain openers, septic treatments and odor masking chemicals you’ve been using for years with BZT Drain & Septic? Because it’s good for you. It’s good for the planet, and it works. Solutions designed not to contribute to more problems later are sensible, responsible, and make life better for everyone.

What Not to Dispose in your Garbage Disposal

Our Facebook friends 7 Rico Plumbing Co. (Los Angeles) posted a helpful reminder. If you didn’t already know, your Garbage Disposal is not meant to act as a trash receptacle, but often people, especially the younger ones, aren’t privy to this.

In fact, most of the scraps you typically place down your disposal can be composted, but that’s another post entirely. Happy (Bruce)

For a healthier longer life of your garbage disposal, here is a list of a few common items you should Not put down your garbage disposal.

August Specials

To celebrate summer, we are offering the following shopping cart discounts for August:

  • 50% off BZT® AQUA 4U! Normally 19.95.
  • Buy One BZT® DRAIN & SEPTIC, Get One Free while supplies last. The free pack will be included in your shipment but will not be reflected on the shopping cart receipt.

Also, since we are having a record summer, we advise you to check your plumbing for leaks. Turn off your main valve. If the meter is still spinning, you likely have a leak somewhere. Check the floor and walls around toilets for soft spots that could indicate water damage. Also, be sure to clear out any debris from your guttering, as this can clog drainpipes and cause water to seep into the roof.

If you are planning to build a septic system, either DIY or contracted, you can begin seeding your tank and drainlines with
BZT® DRAIN & SEPTIC from the start. Our all-natural formula contains beneficial bacteria and digestive enzymes to keep your system running smooth. Less pumping, less headaches, and no odor are the reasons we invented it. Reduce your dependance on harmful, corrosive chemical treatment today. And remember, we offer FREE Technical Support to all of our customers, including custom treatment protocols and consultation.

9 Common Items You Shouldn't Flush

Many people seem to think toilets are porcelain black holes, able to suck away a variety of items not meant for plumbing and sewer systems. If you value plumbing and sanity, you'll want to take good care of it, just like anything else in your home.

Here's a list of items (by no means comprehensive) that should never go into the porcelain god, no matter what you've been taught.

1/ Dental Floss

Put the stuff in the trash. It won't biodegrade, and it will clog pipes and sewers.

2/ Fats, Oils, Grease

Unless you want raw sewage eventually overflowing in your home and on the street, recycle it instead (where available), or let it cool and dump it in the trash. FOG is the number one culprit for backups, and yet it's so easy to avoid.

3/ Cotton Swabs

Though the cardboard variety will eventually compost, the plastic swabs last for centuries and clog pipes and sewers. Those that make it to the lift stations and beyond have to be manually removed and send to a landfill.

4/ Condoms

Here's a photo of a metropolitan lift station we treat. See that little rubber sitting there? It’s gross, and to top it off, a city worker will likely have to dispose of it for you by hand. Classy! Though condoms are supposed to be biodegradable, the process takes longer than the sewer system will tolerate. Put yourself in their shoes, no matter how afterglowy you seem to be, and the world will be a cleaner place.

5/ Hair

Hair is an effective clogging agent for pipes and drains. It attracts other solids, including fats, oil, and grease, and can eventually cause raw sewage to back up in your home. Unless you WANT to create headaches for yourself, or your neighbors, either donate the hair to Locks of Love, use it as compost, or ask your grandmother to weave you a hat. Just don't put it down the toilet.

6/ Tampons/Sanitary Napkins

This is a photo of a municipal lift station. Look at those used tampons floating in the muck. A friendly neighborhood municipal worker has to manually remove those and send them to the landfill. Sounds like a great time to me.

Tampons floating in sewer lift station. Blech!

7/ Chemicals

What keeps your pipes flowing freely is primarily the result of beneficial bacteria (like the kind we add in concentrated form to BZT Drain & Septic). Every time you flush chemicals down the drain, you are wiping them out. Chemicals also cause problems for the municipality that come with a significant price tag. Also, they are awful for the environment.

(Supplemental) Treat your drains and septic systems with an effective biological product, BZT Drain & Septic, instead of waiting until there’s a problem. One of our goals as a company is to reduce the world’s dependance on harmful chemicals while providing a sound, powerful solution to organic waste. This is where it begins, and ends.

8/ Coffee Grounds

Yes, they are biodegradable, but it takes awhile and they would be better off in your compost bin. Coffee grounds clog septic systems, too. Big no-no.

9/ Paper Towels/Tissue

Toilet paper is designed for use in toilet plumbing/sewers. However, paper towels and tissues are not. They don't biodegrade quickly, and they may choke the sewer lines and flood your house with raw sewage eventually. Yum!

If we’re all a little more responsible, careful, and knowledgable about such icky things, we will be better able to keep this planet sustainable. Please join us in the effort, and eventually we may not have to post such icky photos. Winking
