I thought I’d share this story with you today…we’re not just here to sell you a Septic Genie…we guarantee to offer you honest sound advice…and as you will see here, with our advice Deanna was able to solve her problem..she didn’t need a Septic Genie.

Here’s her story:
Thank you so very much for your advice and information. What you gave me sure helped me sound like I knew what I was talking about when I confronted the repair man that ripped me off.

I was also able to ask the correct questions and find a man that came down from Elmore today and for just the price of a service call I now have a running septic system, pump, sprinklers and all green lights on my board.

THANK YOU!!!!!  THANK YOU!!!!!!!   GOD BLESS!!
I am being reimbursed from the original repair man for all the service calls and he says he will be shipping me a new board since his crew couldn’t figure out how to silence the alarms they damaged mine and it will not sound anymore.

(I was wondering why all of a sudden he was telling me I had to have a new board and I told him to test the old one first and then this am he called and said “your new board is in…..” Boy, that made me really start to wonder and then when the new guy came out he showed me what had happened and it all made since.

The original repair man said, “well, good help is hard to find.”

This single, working mom and new home owner sure does appreciate you responding to my questions yesterday. Good deeds are returned.

Thanks,
Deanna

The air pump that’s supplied with your Septic Genie is plugged into a standard 110 electrical outlet, usually on the outside of your house. This air pump “draws”, or uses 1.3 amps of electricity per hour or 143 watts. Assuming your cost of electricity per Kilowatt Hour is $0.076, as an average, the cost to run the air pump for a month would be $5.47 or 18 cents per day.

The only other ongoing cost to keep your Genie working properly and keeping your septic system functioning well is the annual replacement of our Genie bacteria blend; the bacteria replacement bag costs $25.00 and costs $3.00 to $5.00 to ship depending where in the US you live. Let’s assume $30.00…once a year. This equates to 8 cents a day!

So…for the grand total of 26 cents per day you can have a trouble-free septic system!

And remember…you probably won’t have to pump your septic tank for 15 to maybe 20 years…our bacteria will digest 90%+ of the organic matter in your tank so there will be nothing left to pump.

The only long term way to accomplish this is to change the bacteria community in the septic tank, dramatically reduce or remove the organic material leaving the septic tank and inoculate bacteria into the effluent leaving the septic tank that will consume the biomat.

The problem is biological, the solution is biological.

To understand how Septic Genie works, you need to understand a little about the bacteria in a septic system. Remember, bacteria do the work of digesting and treating our waste. There are two distinct groups of bacteria, anaerobes that do not use oxygen for energy and aerobes that use oxygen for energy.

There is third group of bacteria that are a bit of both. They are called facultative bacteria. Facultative bacteria can be either anaerobic bacteria that can temporarily change their metabolism to an aerobe (facultative aerobes) or an aerobe that can temporarily change their metabolism to an anaerobe (facultative anaerobes).

You most frequently find facultative aerobes in the intestines of animals with guts. You most frequently find facultative anaerobes in forest leaf litter, humic soils and composting vegetation.

It is the facultative anaerobic bacteria that are important. It is well known by the septic industry that facultative anaerobes will break down the biomat slime and consume solids when deprived of oxygen. A disposal field full of slime and solids has no oxygen. The problem was how to get them into a septic system cheaply and efficiently.

That is where the patented ABG technology of the Septic Genie saved the day. Septic Genie grows them in your septic tank using your organic solids as food. They digest your waste for food thereby removing it from the system; they increase their numbers and leave the septic tank entrained in every cup full of effluent and travel to your drain field.

In the drain field they migrate into the soil, quickly break down the biomat and restore the drain field to full function. With a properly operating Septic Genie in your septic tank your drain field can’t fail again from biomat clogging of the soil.

Anaerobic conventional septic systems have been historically treated as a dumping ground for any type of waste liquid.  This is now fast becoming a problem for the industry.  Basically putting anything into a septic tank that you wouldn’t first put into your mouth, or anything that is fundamentally toxic to bacteria should not be put into a septic tanks.

Obviously, as a culture, we won’t follow that exact rule.  Reasonable amounts of the normal products we use in our homes can go into a septic tank.  The real problem still remains Biomat clogging of soils around drain fields.

The back wash from water softeners is loaded with sodium as rock salt is the medium used for ionic exchange that binds up minerals with the salt.  This sodium in the back wash will stratify in the soils around the leach lines and slow down the movement of liquid through it.

Eventually, with biomat and other organic compounds that infiltrate the soil pores, failure is the outcome.  As failure is designed into and expected for these anaerobic systems within a couple of decades, excessive amounts of any of the materials described merely decreases the time period to failure.

You should try and discharge the back wash to another place and leave the septic system to handle your biological waste from the home.

Installing a separate small drain field to handle the back wash is easy and shouldn’t be expensive.

Here are a couple of recent questions we received and our reply.

Question 1:

I have effluent showing up in my yard, does this mean my leechbed is full and needs replaced? Or can the Septic Genie help me???? Thanks!!

Question 2:

I have to have my tank pumped out twice a year and I live alone so its not used much. I thought my leech lines were plugged so I had them cleaned out in december and the tank is full again. Will your product help my problem?

Answer:

Your situation is repeated over and over every day.  This situation is defined as an extremely marginal septic system.  This means the biomat and other organic material has finally slowed down the absorption process to the point that your system will no longer allow liquid into the soils around the disposal field as fast as you put it in.

Your septic system will continue to degrade unless you do something to reverse the process of biomat slime buildup.  Or you can replace the disposal field.  Costly, extremely damaging to your property and will the new field will fail again from exactly the same process?  The Septic Genie technology was developed to address just this problem.

Jetting the lines merely cleans out any accumulated solids laying within the disposal pipe.  At times, there can be a plugging effect from these solids.  But jetting the lines does not address the soil clogging issue.  In fact, some of the solids in the lines will be washed into the leach lines.  As your tank has refilled, it is apparent that biomat is clogging the soil not solids blocking the outlet holes in the pipe.

This is the ideal time to install a Septic Genie.  There is still capacity in the disposal field so the effluent with the Genie bacteria entrained in it can reach the soil where it is needed to remediate the biomat.  The longer the problem lasts the more time it takes for the Genie bacteria to work at restoring your disposal field.

Septic systems depend on bacteria.  Unfortunately, we have used the wrong bacteria for nearly a century.  Septic systems are a closed system.  In a conventional anaerobic septic system the only bacteria that are “allowed” in are the ones from your intestines.  They normally do not survive outside of your body.  But in an anaerobic septic tank they manage a meager existence.

By adding countless more each day, we develop a large community in the septic tank.  When they leave the septic tank entrained within the effluent, they don’t perish. They again establish a meager existence in the soil pores and over time, they cause 95%+ of failures just like yours by doing what they evolved to do, consume energy, secrete slimes (biomat) and divide.

The Septic Genie provides a better species of bacteria (facultative), kills the vast majority of anaerobic intestinal bacteria we deposit in the septic tank each day, and leave the septic tank and travel to the disposal field and breakdown the biomat slimes.  Everyday, the Septic Genie continues to remediate the soils and keep the system functioning proper

The Septic Genie is relatively new to the market, but the technology has been around for  about eight years.  This new septic system technology, called aerobic bacteria generator (ABG) which the Septic Genie utilizes, has been approved for installation in most states.

The great benefits to the Septic Genie, and the main reason we developed this product, is that it is a cost effective way for homeowners to repair their septic systems without having to hire a contractor.  Most septic system repairs are very costly and require the expertise of septic contractors.  The Septic Genie solves these expense and knowledge issues with a technological solution that is easy to install and priced within range for just about any homeowner.

Septic contractors are in the business to build, install and repair septic systems.  Many have been in the industry for many years.  They know their stuff.  But that doesn’t mean they have kept up with new technology.  They may have never heard of ABG or the Septic Genie because they haven’t stayed current with the septic industry.

On top of that, there isn’t really much money to be made for contractors installing the Septic Genie.  Because of its low cost and easy installation, they won’t make as much as they would if they had to tear up your drain field and replace it.  This isn’t to say these contractors are dishonest.  Most likely they are just ignorant of the new technology.

In addition, many of these long-time contractors don’t understand this technology, and they fear any change to the septic industry.  Because they lack the knowledge, they fear it will threaten their business.  And the Septic Genie introduces a very big change to the septic industry and requires an entirely different way of thinking in relation to failed septic systems.  Many contractors are unprepared for this new technology and don’t feel comfortable with it.

Despite this fear of change, the Septic Genie has taken hold and has proven itself over and over to be the most cost effective solution to drain field failure.  The ABG technology is a proven system, and we have a long track record of success with the Septic Genie.  As such, we offer a money back guarantee to show how much confidence we have in the product.

So just because your septic contractor hasn’t heard of this new technology doesn’t mean it is unproven.  We have all the support documentation to prove the Septic Genie success and feel confident that it will solve your septic system problems for less money, less hassles and will provide many years of quality service keeping your septic system running smoothly and efficiently.

For many years, while selling a similar product, we had many customers who lived in areas where we didn’t have installers.  These customers wanted to be able to install the product themselves, but we weren’t completely comfortable with that.  As a result, we spent several years developing a new product that would be just as effective but would be simpler to install.

The result was the Septic Genie.  We developed this product based on feedback from our many customers.  The result was a product that requires as little as two or three hours to install, requires no special tools and begins to work immediately.

Even for the technically challenged, the Septic Genie is simple enough to install for anyone.  If you aren’t comfortable, hiring a handyman or recruiting a family member with a little knowledge and a couple of hours to spare will insure proper installation.

We have developed procedures that are simple to follow.  When you get your Septic Genie, the first thing you find when opening the box is the installation instructions.  All you need to do is simply follow the directions from start to finish.  There are even pictures that show you what each step will look like to make sure you are doing things correctly.

In addition, we have a video on our website that you can watch.  This video shows me installing a system from start to finish in about two hours.  This video really shows how simple the Septic Genie is to install, and by watching the video it should give you the confidence to do it yourself.

It really is simple to install the Septic Genie.  Remember, we made this product specifically for the homeowner to install themselves.  As such, we simplified the entire process, provide almost everything you need and simple, easy to follow instructions.

The Septic Genie is such a unique product and there is nothing like it on the market today.  Instead of paying thousands of dollars to replace your drain field, you can get an affordable product that is designed to last a lifetime.  And you don’t have to pay a contractor to put it in for you.

When designing the Septic Genie we listened to our customers.  They wanted a superior product that would be simple to install themselves, keep their septic system running smoothly, last a lifetime and not cost an arm and a leg.  So that is what we did.

If you are thinking about purchasing a Septic Genie for your septic system, don’t let the fear of installing it yourself keep you from getting one.  It really is as simple to install as it sounds.  And if you ever have questions we are here to answer them.

Septic Genie was started three years ago by me, Michael Grubb, and a group of other septic professionals.  I am a National Association of Wastewater Transporters, Inc. (NAWT) Certified Septic System Inspector.  NAWT is the leading national organization responsible for certifying septic system inspectors.

Me and my team have over 50 years of experience in septic systems, including wastewater treatment, septic system design, installation, maintenance and repairs.  Basically we are experts at building, installing and fixing septic systems and have spent many years doing just that.

Over the years we have gained valuable knowledge and experience of septic systems which gave us the ability to create a product that helps the homeowner keep their septic system running smoothly and efficiently for years.

For example, team member Jerry Fife, a life-long contractor and septic system expert, decided years ago that the septic industry needed to be changed.  In 1995 he invented the Aerobic Bacteria Generator, or ABG.   This device used air for treatment of the septic systems.  He then introduced the use of special bacteria to increase the products ability to improve septic system efficiencies.  By 2000, Jerry’s “Pirana Method” was born.

The Pirana System has been used in many septic systems since then.  In most cases, however, modifications of septic tanks are necessary to install the Pirana.  I worked with Jerry in marketing and sales of the Pirana System, and we found many homeowners wanted to install the unit themselves.  After many redesigns we came up with a pre-assembled package specifically for homeowners to install.  That was three years ago and we named the new product Septic Genie.

This new design was simple to install and has been a huge success since hitting the market.  The Septic Genie was a direct result of customer input.  We listened to you, the homeowner, and created a product that was affordable, effective and easy to install.

As a group we are here to help you.  We have extensive knowledge that we are able to use to help solve your septic system problems.  We have assisted thousands of customers like you to fix their septic system and they now have peace of mind that their system will run efficiently for years to come.

When you buy a Septic Genie you are buying a product that we have spent years developing.  We used our vast knowledge, built it with high-quality products and package it in a way that allows you to install it in just a couple of hours without any special tools.

There is nothing else like this on the market.  Take a look at all of our information and videos.  If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.  If you are unsure whether the Septic Genie will work for you we have a form you can fill out that allows us to evaluate your current system.  We want you to buy with confidence.  Contact us today and find out why the Septic Genie will be the last investment you will have to make in your septic system.

That answer isn’t so simple, but in most cases the restoration process will happen in less than 90 days.  The results can vary from just a couple of weeks to over 90 days.  This isn’t an exact science, and the state of your system when you install the Septic Genie plays a big role.

Immediately upon installation the Septic Genie goes to work.  The first noticeable improvement will be with septic odors.  You will find that within 24-48 hours the odors caused by your septic system will disappear completely, never to return.

The next step is for the bacteria colony you introduced to establish itself in your septic tank.  This takes some time, but within the first 30 days these bacteria will begin to digest the organic solids in your tank.  The result is that within those first 30 days you will see a significant difference in the clarity of the liquid inside the septic tank.

The foundation of the Septic Genie system is the bacteria, and once they are established in the tank and growing rapidly they will slowly begin to migrate into the drain field.  This is where the system really begins to make a difference.

These “good” bacteria are designed to digest and remove organic solids, including the bio-mat that is the cause of drain field clogging and failure.  It takes time for this process to take place, but eventually the quantity of bacteria builds to a point that migration takes place and these gunk eaters start to restore the drain field.

From start to finish this entire process can take from a few weeks to a few months depending on the state of the septic system and drain field.  If your septic system has just recently shown signs of failure, the restoration process will happen much quicker than if you have a system that has been malfunctioning for several years.

The bottom line is that if your septic system has been around for 20 or so years it won’t be restored overnight.  But with the Septic Genie the restoration process will begin immediately and you will see quantifiable results within days.

We guarantee the Septic Genie and are confident it will solve your septic system problems.  We built this unit with you in mind.  The Septic Genie is a cost-effective solution to your failing septic system.  It is simple to install, requires no maintenance and will restore your septic system in a timely manner and keep it functioning at a high level for years to come.
