RID-X

Buying Guide: Septic Tank Treatment

Gel Pacs and Powder Forms
RID-X sells septic tank treatment as Septi-Pacs gel pacs, sold in a 3 pk, and as a powder sold in 9.8 oz packs of 12. The gel pacs contain bacteria that break down the waste that can cause septic backups. The powder contains enzymes and bacteria that break down household waste and help reduce tank build-up. Choose the form that suits how you prefer to add treatment to your system.

Keeping Treatment Consistent
The product descriptions say that regular use helps keep the bacteria population high throughout the year. Plan to add treatment once a month so the dosing stays steady. Check your septic system manual or ask a qualified septic service if you have questions about your tank.

How often should I use RID-X septic treatment?
The product descriptions recommend using RID-X once a month. Regular monthly use helps keep the bacteria population consistently high, so set a reminder to add treatment on the same schedule each month.
