BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivator

Organic eco solutions biologically, naturally

The natural organic environmentally friendly treatment for pit toilets,

septic tanks, soak pits, French drains and bucket toilets.

Quickly removes the smells and reduces the waste!

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TREATMENT

The problem:

Pit toilets (also septic tanks, soak pits and French drains) eventually fill up and they are usuallyvery smelly. The smells attracts flies and other unwanted pests which can contribute to

opportunistic infections. The seepage from these toilets can also contaminate the ground water

and infect our drinking water and spread disease.

When a pit toilet gets full it must be either be pumped out or a new one must be constructed.

Tanker services to pump a pit out cost a lot of money and they cant always get to where the

toilets are. It costs money to build a new toilet and often there is a problem of suitable space.

Why do pit toilets and septic tanks stop working efficiently and begin to fill-up and smell?:

The foods that we eat are processed or treated with chemicals or put through artificial processes

which ultimately result in us passing a poor quality of bacteria when we go to the toilet.

The chemicals that are put into the pit to try combat the smells and flies also kill the bacteria.

When plastic packets, baby nappies and other rubbish is thrown into the pit then it results in the pit

filling up quickly.

Acid is sometimes used to get rid of the rubbish in the pit but it is extremely dangerous, people are

often badly burnt while trying to treat a pit with this chemical. The acid does not get rid of the

smells or the flies and it also poisons the drinking water.

What is the advantage of using this treatment?

BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivator treatments quickly stimulate the bacteria in the pit so that the human waste is

quickly degraded. It works quicker than any other type of treatment available and best of all it gets

rid of the smell very quickly! It also has the great advantage that with regular use the toilet can be

used for a very long time without it having to be pumped-out or having to dig a new one.

When the smells go away then the flies will also disappear. The risk of opportunistic infections

decreases and the affect of BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivator on human waste can result in a reduction of the

pathogens (harmful bacteria) which also results in a reduced impact on the drinking water.

HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM

FIRST TREATMENT:

1 x 100g or 4 x 25gBioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivator treatments must be used. First add at least 100 liters of

water (tap, river, borehole or even bath water) to the pit before it is treated. The more water the

better.

Activate the treatment in 20 liters of clean water (see activating instructions below) and pour it over

the exposed waste in the pit.

If there is still a smell after 24 hours then it could be the chemicals or the rubbish in the pit which is

preventing the treatment from working. Pour another 100 liters of water into the pit and monitor the

smell for another 24 hours.

If the smell is still there then the pit must be treated with a 25g treatment to fix the problem. With

each treatment it is important to add 100 liters of water or more to the pit before adding the

activated treatment and add water again 24 hours later if the smell is still there.

When the smell has gone then you know that the treatment is now working.

FOLLOW-UP OR MAINTENANCE TREATMENTS:

1 X 25g BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivator treatment must be used every month to keep the smells away and to

prevent the human waste from building up. First add 100 liters of water into the pit before pouring

in the activated treatment.

The users of the toilet should not add anything foreign into the toilet. Baby nappies, sanitary

towels, etc. should rather be disposed of elsewhere.

Activation:

Mix the contents of the packet/s in a bucket with 20 liters ordinary (cold) tap water, or any water

from a river, dam or borehole. Make sure that there are no chemicals (bleach or other cleaning

solutions) in the bucket before the water is added. Stir frequently and let the mixture stand for 60

minutes. Pour it over as much of the exposed waste as possible. In a septic tank the activated

mixture can simply be flushed down the toilet.

It is preferable that the exposed waste in the pit or trench is first covered with water as far as

possible. In areas where water is scarce, the left-over bath water can also be used to saturate the

pit or trench.

It is important to remember that theBioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatorwill only work where it comes into contactwith the waste through the medium of the water.

The treatment of multiple toilets on a trench (pit toilets):

First treatment:

When treating multiple toilets on a trench, each seat (toilet) must be treated as an individual toilet

for the best results. For example if there are 6 toilets on a trench, then the first treatment must be6 x 100g BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatortreatments.

Maintenance:

The maintenance treatments will be 1 x 25g BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatortreatment per toilet per month. The

contents of a number of packets can be combined in one bucket of water for activation as long as

the trench is sufficiently drenched with water and the activatedBioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatoris poured evenly

into each toilet.

Dry Toilets:

There are a few designs of "dry toilets" which are often built in housing complexes or villages, and

also in townships. The most common type is probably like the one in the sketch below:

A shallow cement trench is connected to the house into which the waste is flushed. The idea

behind the design is that the water will seep out of the trench through a number of slits on the

bottom and sides. As more waste comes in it pushes the existing waste towards the back of the

trench. During this process the waste is supposed to dry out so that when it reaches the back wall

it can then be shoveled out to be transported away or alternately used as compost in the garden.

In reality this does not happen and ultimately the waste becomes the breeding ground for flies and

other goggas. The waste remains wet because it clogs up the slits through which the water is

supposed to seep out of and as a result any attempt to empty the full trench becomes a messy

and smelly affair. The end result, unfortunately, is that the smells and the flies remain. Also the

trench then immediately starts filling up and the problem starts all over again.

BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivator is the ideal treatment for these toilets. The first noticeable result is that the bad

smells will disappear. Secondly, if you lift the cement slab over the trench you will see a drop in

the level of the waste within the first week. TheBioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivator will degrade the waste very

quickly into water and gas. The gas will evaporate and BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatorwill break down the waste

causing the blockages so that the water will easily flow out through the slits in the sides and

bottom of the trench.

If the toilet is treated withBioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatoron a regular basis (once a month) it can continue to be

used indefinitely without it filling up again and without the smells returning.

What type of toilet system can successfully be treated?:

Septic tanks, French drains, soak pits and any form of pit latrine, whether they be VIPs or just

crude holes in the ground, and dry toilets can be successfully treated with this product. It works

with any open toilet systemi.e. where there is provision or facility for the water to soak away into

the surrounding soil structure. Toilets that were designed for the human waste to dry out and later

be disposed of elsewhere generally do not function according to the design principles (like the dry

toilet). Some of these toilets are also designed to separate the urine from the solid waste. These

toilets often fail but they can also be successfully treated with BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivator subject to the

addition of sufficient water.

Flies:

Treatments with BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatorwill take away the smells. When the smell goes then the flies will

also go. This can help in reducing the risk of opportunistic infections which is particularly beneficial

to people which have HIV Aids, TB and other infectious.

Please remember that there is no substitute for clean, sanitary habits!

Wash your hands regularly!

How does the product work?:

When BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatoris activatedit stimulates the existing bacteria in the pit toilet or septic tank

to quickly degrade the human waste into water and gas. It also removes the bad smells.

The problem occurs when the waste does not degrade into water and gas quickly enough and it

starts to clog the bottom and sides of the pit toilet or soak pit/French drain. BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatorwill

clear this so that the water can flow out freely.

Transport, storage and safety:

Because each treatment is light in weight (25g or 100g) and because of the small size it is easy to

carry.BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatoronly has to be activated where it is needed so there is no problem to carry

it long distances.

BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatorcan be stored indefinitely in its dry form while in the sealed packet, as long as it

is kept in a relatively cool, dry place. Long storage will not affect the effectiveness of this product

at all.

BioBioBioBio----ActivatorActivatorActivatorActivatoris safe because it is not a chemical and it is non-toxic, non-poisonous and other

than a possible irritation to the eyes (which is treated by flushing with clean water) there are no

known safety issues. It is safe for people, animals and crops.
