Product sheet 01
An effective microbial septic treatment in easy-to-use, 25-gram water-soluble packs. Each pack contains a multi-strain Bacillus blend, scientifically selected for its ability to break down the organic material that accumulates in septic systems.
Where it works 02
Challenge
Over time, excess solids as well as fats, oils and grease (FOG) can build up in septic tanks, requiring frequent pump-outs. If this buildup is not addressed regularly, it can result in clogs and backups.
Solution
Regular maintenance with SeptiGenesis Pac helps manage solids and FOG levels in septic tanks. Bacillus break down and consume the excess organic material in the system, reducing the frequency of non-routine pump-outs and the likelihood of backups.
Challenge
RV holding tanks can collect a large amount of solid waste between pump-outs. Chemical treatments may stop beneficial bacterial activity and natural digestion, making this waste difficult to remove when it is time to clean out.
Solution
Unlike chemical treatments, the Bacillus in SeptiGenesis Pac are an environmentally friendlier option that enhances the natural biology in the holding tank and allows more digestion of solid waste. Increased solids digestion means easier, more efficient pump-outs.
Challenge
Managing the offensive odors from compounds such as volatile fatty acids (VFA) and ammonia is a frequent struggle in portable toilets. As organic material builds up, so does the odor.
Solution
The Bacillus in SeptiGenesis Pac use the organic material in portable toilets as food. They break down and digest VFA and ammonia, working to reduce odor.
How it works 03
The Bacillus in SeptiGenesis Pac increase overall beneficial activity in the microbial community and help digest the excess solids that lead to backups, clogs and odors. Septic systems, RV holding tanks and portable toilets constantly receive new organic material and new members of the microbial community that may not have the tools to digest what is present.
Bacillus bacteria excel at breaking down a broad range of materials thanks to the many enzymes they produce. Once solids and odor-causing compounds have been broken into smaller components, they are more readily available to Bacillus and to the native microbial community. Increased bacterial digestion leads to a healthier system, with slower buildup of solids and fewer odors.

Empecemos bajo tierra. Si tu casa tiene pozo séptico, todo lo que se va por los desagües… termina en un tanque enterrado. Ahí llegan desechos del inodoro, restos de comida, papel… grasas y aceites. Adentro, todo se separa en tres capas: arriba flotan las natas, las grasas; en el medio, el agua… y abajo se asientan los lodos. Y fíjate: ahí viven bacterias que, poco a poco, digieren parte de esa materia. Lo que no alcanzan a digerir se acumula… y con el tiempo puede tapar el sistema. El agua del medio sale al campo de drenaje, donde el suelo la sigue tratando.
Ahora subamos de escala. En una planta de tratamiento, el agua de muchas casas pasa por varias etapas. Primero reposa, y los sólidos más pesados se van al fondo. Luego entra aire… y las bacterias que necesitan oxígeno se alimentan de la materia orgánica. Esas bacterias se juntan en copos pequeños, llamados flóculos. Entre ellos nadan protozoos: se comen las bacterias sueltas… y ayudan a aclarar el agua. Al final, en el clarificador, los flóculos se asientan… y el agua clara sigue su camino.
Ahora, algo más pequeño. Los tanques de las casas rodantes y los baños portátiles acumulan desechos entre un vaciado y otro. Y ya sabes: cuanta más materia orgánica se junta, más fuerte es el mal olor. Viene de compuestos como los ácidos grasos volátiles… y el amoníaco. Por eso importa la biología: muchas bacterias usan la materia orgánica como alimento.
Pero las bacterias no la tienen fácil. Ya los viste: los protozoos, y otros organismos diminutos del agua, se las comen. Y ojo: los tratamientos químicos pueden frenar la actividad bacteriana beneficiosa. Hay incluso virus que atacan solo a las bacterias: los bacteriófagos. El calor o el frío extremos las frenan. Sin alimento, su actividad cae… y sin oxígeno, también la de las que lo necesitan. Algunas tienen un truco: forman esporas, una cápsula resistente que espera mejores condiciones. ¿Y qué las ayuda? Alimento constante, temperaturas moderadas… y pocos químicos agresivos.
Aquí entra SeptiGenesis Pac. Viene en sobres de veinticinco gramos que se disuelven en agua, con bacterias elegidas para descomponer la materia orgánica. Producen enzimas… que parten sólidos, grasas y olores en pedacitos que ellas, y las bacterias del sistema, consumen más fácil. Sirve para pozos sépticos, casas rodantes y baños portátiles. En el pozo, con mantenimiento regular, ayuda a manejar sólidos y grasas… y reduce los vaciados no programados y el riesgo de reflujos. En laboratorio, el agua residual municipal tratada mostró más actividad bacteriana que sin tratar. Y a los cinco días, la reducción de sólidos fue un veintidós por ciento mayor. Los resultados individuales varían. Ahora… ¿te acuerdas de los protozoos, comiéndose a las bacterias? ¿Y de lo que les hacen los químicos? En un sistema, las bacterias se consumen y se reducen todo el tiempo. Por eso conviene reforzarlas… aplicando nuestras bacterias con regularidad. Es un cuidado sencillo, de esos que es mejor no dejar para después. Pide tu cotización de SeptiGenesis Pac… y hablemos de tu sistema.
Let's start underground. If your home has a septic system, everything that goes down the drains… ends up in a buried tank. In come toilet waste, food scraps, paper… fats and oils. Inside, it all separates into three layers: fats float to the top as scum, water stays in the middle… and the sludge settles at the bottom. Here's the thing: bacteria live in there, and little by little, they digest part of that matter. What they can't digest builds up… and over time, it can clog the system. The water in the middle flows out to the drain field, where the soil keeps treating it.
Now let's scale up. At a treatment plant, water from many homes goes through several stages. First it rests, and the heaviest solids sink to the bottom. Then air is pumped in… because some bacteria need oxygen to feed on the organic matter. Those bacteria clump together into small flakes, called flocs. And swimming among them are protozoa: they eat the loose bacteria… and help the water turn clearer. Finally, in the clarifier, the flocs settle… and the clear water moves on.
Now, something smaller. RV holding tanks and portable toilets build up waste between one pump-out and the next. And you know what comes with it: the more organic matter builds up, the stronger the foul odor. That smell comes from compounds like volatile fatty acids… and ammonia. That's why biology matters so much: many bacteria use organic matter as food.
But bacteria don't have it easy. You've already seen it: protozoa, and other tiny water organisms, eat them. And watch out for chemicals: chemical treatments can stop beneficial bacterial activity. There are even viruses that attack only bacteria: bacteriophages. Extreme heat or cold slows them down. Without food, their activity drops… and without oxygen, so does the activity of the ones that need it. Some have a trick: they form spores, a tough capsule that waits for better conditions. So what helps them? A steady food supply, moderate temperatures… and few harsh chemicals.
And that's where SeptiGenesis Pac comes in. It comes in twenty-five-gram packs that dissolve in water, with a blend of bacteria selected to break down organic material. Those bacteria produce enzymes… that break solids, fats and odor-causing compounds into pieces that they, and the system's own bacteria, can consume more easily. It's made for septic tanks, RV holding tanks and portable toilets. In a septic tank, with regular maintenance, it helps manage solids and grease… reducing non-routine pump-outs and the likelihood of backups. In lab testing, treated municipal wastewater showed more bacterial activity than untreated water. And after five days, solids reduction was twenty-two percent higher. Individual results may vary. Now… remember the protozoa, eating up the bacteria? And what chemicals do to them? In any system, bacteria are being consumed and reduced all the time. That's why it makes sense to reinforce them… by adding our bacteria on a regular basis. It's simple care, the kind that's worth not putting off.

Scientific validation 05
Bacterial activity was measured in untreated municipal wastewater and in the same water treated with SeptiGenesis Pac. Treatment resulted in higher bacterial activity than the untreated wastewater, which translates into more digestion of organic material.
Percent solids reduction was measured in an untreated municipal solids sample and in the same sample treated with SeptiGenesis Pac after five days. Treatment resulted in a 22% improvement in solids reduction compared with the untreated material.

Over time, excess solids and fats, oils and grease can build up in a septic tank. That buildup can mean frequent pump-outs, and it can lead to clogs and backups.
This treatment comes in easy-to-use, 25-gram water-soluble packs. Each pack dissolves and releases a multi-strain Bacillus blend into the water.
Bacillus produce a multitude of enzymes. Those enzymes help them break down a broad range of organic material.
Enzyme activity breaks large solids into smaller components.
Those smaller pieces are more readily available to the Bacillus and to the native microbial community, which consume them. The result is more bacterial activity, and more digestion.
In laboratory testing with municipal wastewater, treatment resulted in higher bacterial activity than untreated water. After five days, solids reduction was 22 percent higher than in untreated material. More digestion can mean slower buildup of solids and fewer odors.
In portable toilets, Bacillus break down and digest volatile fatty acids and ammonia, working to reduce odor. In RV holding tanks, more solids digestion means easier, more efficient pump-outs. SeptiGenesis. Request a quote.
Septic system lifecycle 06
A septic system works in two stages: the tank separates and digests solids, and the drain field returns the treated water to the soil. Problems start when solids build up in the tank and reach the field.
