Compare Aero-Stream vs. Chemicals & Additives
You will find over 1200 companies offering chemicals or additives on the internet. All of these companies boast about the greatness of their products, however, they fail to provide proof that they perform as advertised. An independent study has been conducted indicating that the use of “Super Shock” additives did not significantly increase the total bacteria concentrations in the septic tanks as compared to the tanks that had no additives applied. To the contrary, another independent study has been conducted indicating that aerobic treatment of wastewater will recover a failing septic system drain field.
