5. WHAT UPSETS THE BALANCE
The greatest cause of problems with your treatment plant are
cleaning products
and
the
washing machine
.
CLEANING PRODUCTS
Unfortunately what we call cleaning products, your HSTP may class as poisons. Like
humans, some poisons kill us while others will just make us sick and the same will happen
to the bacteria in your HSTP. You must use environmentally friendly products.
Your treatment system relies on bacteria for your system to work effectively. Any product
used that kills bacteria is harmful to your system. If you wish to use some of the harsher
cleaning products, it is suggested that you use a bucket and discard the contents in the
garden. This also applies to disinfectant, surface sprays and wipes.
WASHING MACHINES
Try to evenly spread your washing over a period of a week. Avoid, where possible, washing
everything in one day. It puts too much water in the system and your HSTP will struggle to
cope. Liquid soaps breakdown easier than granulate styles do.
Try not to be heavy
handed with the amount of soaps you use.
When working properly, your HSTP will work efficiently with no odours or problems.
It needs a happy balance.
