Anyone knows which one is effective to treat septic tank?

Taobao has a lot but most of them are fake and just packed with sands. Used before and no effect.

Septic systems already have enough bacteria to treat the wastewater so adding additional bacteria or enzymes won't really help. If the tank is not functioning properly as it hasn't been pumped out or you are flushing things that destroy the healthy bacteria, your best option would be to desludge

Ur house old one or new one?
Old low cost house? 14 x 55 ones?

If old low cost, septic tank is small, and if ur household a lot of people, very fast full.

If new a bit one bigger house, then bigger a bit..

I don't think it's meant for home use. At the end of the process there will still be sludge which will also require it to be pumped by IWK

Ada rumah kampung yang salurkan air tahi dan air mandian kedalam satu sistem tangki sama..

Cara ni salah sbb air mandian / air basuh baju mengandungi sabun, klorok dan bermacam kimia yang akan membunuh bakteria yg uraikan tahi.. Seeloknya asingkn..

Since it is kampung house, i believe got a lot of vacant land here and there i guess.

Only solution is dig another bigger and deeper septic tank beside the current one, and join them together, however, open another hole for suction on the new big and deeper one... deep big deep deep so can tahan 8 to 10 yrs..

And then, from the new one, can do 1 small opening for overflowing water to flow into drain..
So once u detect the water overflowing out ad, then is time to pump

The septic tanks have two. One big where the "sai" flows in. The another tank is small one.

The overflow water from big tank will flow into small one. Then the small tank got one pipe to flow out to outside.

By law, that is the correct way. Air mandian and basuh baju is grey water, must enter septic. If you connect kitchen sink water, washing machine water and bathing water to the outdoor majlis drain, you are breaking the law. While only house longkang water from your rain, porch and roof will enter the mini osd.

Last thing you need is your pee water, sink dirty oily curry water and oil from clothes end up infront your house. Then you complain to majlis longkang busuk smell like curry
