I have use when needed for years.I even bought it for someone who obviously had no idea about septic tanks. Theirs was not kept up and over worked. They stopped using the first floor toilet because it kept backing up.Bought them two containers applying the first container myself. Instant success! I told the young man to put the second container in about two weeks from that day.They had no problems after that.

Believe it or not, we (my wife and me)lived in a camper with a 3/4 inch water hose as a drain line for the sewer line, it never plugged up and we took long showers and put our toilet paper into the toilet. It was not biodegradable either. We changed the line to a 3 and a half inch line and from that point on we had nothing but trouble as far as plugged sewer line. I used to use this product to clean my drain at my house. I have had plumbers run their camera down and think it's a brand new line because it was so clean. When it says it breaks everything down into water and it cleaned the drain field on top of the pipes and tank. So far I have given it to 3 or 4 people who had plugged up tanks in their camper and it hasn't disappointed me.

My drain field was clogged and tank was overfull. I had the tank pumped. There was a blockage in the drain field. Although I did dig up a small hole to access the drain field where it connects to the outflow and D box, I cleaned the drain field pipe by cutting a 2" hole in the top of the pipe. I then used a pressure washer with a jet end on it and feed it as far as I could on each side of the hole I cut. Then I poured the Roebic into the hole I cut. I monitored it every few days and found that the system was draining better than ever. The pea gravel around the pipe I dug down to was clean and If I added water from a hose it drained immediately.Now I realize that I did some of the repair by jetting the line with the pressure washer and removed some restriction, but even after that was done it didnt drain well from the holes in the drain field pipe. I can assure you the Roebic helped eat away what was left and into the pea gravel so things can drain and not sit in the pipe and get backed up again.On a side note. I was able to measure from inserting the garden hose or pressure washer hose into the outflow of the tank to the D box as to how far that was and then dug a small hole to access the D box. I then did the same thing to measure how far the drain field "T" was from there. That way I knew right where to dig. After cutting the 2" hole in the top of the pipe I cut a small piece of extra pipe about 8" long and then slit it up the side. This way I could put this piece of pipe over the hole I just cut like a clamp. That way no dirt will fall into the hole when I bury it again. I hope this helps someone in the future. Septic failure can be an expensive and stressful time.I added a second bottle 2 weeks later and then filled in the hole. Its been 2 months and there are no problems.

Had bubbles coming from the toilet when I would take a shower, smelled like sewage. Dug up the cover for my septic tank and had it pumped. After calling my mother i found out that the last time my dad had it pumped was when i was 5 or 6 years old, I'm now 47 and have owned the house for 20 years. I also found out from my research that you are supposed to get a septic tank pumped every 4 or 5 years, so i was only 36 years overdue. The guy who pumped it said it was the worst one he had seen in the 5 years he has worked in septic services.I then had a camera run down into the distribution box. Standing water filled the pipe from the outlet baffle down to the distribution box. The septic tech told me my leach field was shot. Due to my neighbor having a raised bed leach field he told me that was what I was likely going to have to replace mine with. A raised bed leach field in Northern Delaware was gonna run around $40,000 with permits, perc tests and installation, as well as taking 3+ months to swap out.I decided I'd try a cheaper option or two before dropping $40 grand. I looked around for about 2 weeks learning what I could about how septic tanks worked and the problems people have with them. I learned that if the leach field won't drain properly but the pipes haven't collapsed that there might be something called bio-mat keeping it from draining. Bio-mat is a layer of bacteria from the water in the pipes that forms under the leach field acting almost like a tarp, blocking water from absorbing into the soil the way it should. I found a youtube video of a woman in Florida using this to get rid of the bio-mat and recover her system. Willing to drop $100 or so to avoid spending $40,000 I bought 4 bottles of this and 4 bottles of leach and drain field treatment (also from roebic). I used 1 bottle of each every 2 weeks for 2 months and then set up subscribe and save for 2 bottles every month. It's been 3 months and so far no bubbles from the toilet, the line to my distribution box looks clear with no standing water in it.Fingers crossed this may have fixed my problems for about 1% of what I was told it would cost me.I LOVE THIS COMPANY. Could not be happier. This is absolutely worth trying before replacing a leach field unless they run the camera down the actual field lines and confirm collapsed pipes.

We purchased a country home last fall and were told it needed a new septic system. Well every month I add a bottle of this to my toilet and refrain from flushing all paper products. It is almost a year later and the system remains functional. A small price to pay for a monthly bottle of magic, instead of $41k for a new system! Please try this and add often to help you save the system you have. As it really does work.

Put it in Friday night I bottle for a 375 gallon tank. Now sunday tried flush toilet no change it went from bubbles on Friday to not wanting to flush on Friday night. I hope I have to come back in a day or 2 and retract the not working stuff but I have my doubts. I must have to many solids for this stuff to break downUPDATE 2 weeks later not using toilet just water going in to septic from dishes and sink. Still takes a day for toilet to go down after a flush which I do every 7 days. So in my opinion this product does not work for breaking down solids fast
