Application Guidelines and Shock Instructions:

By "Shocking" the system, a super concentrated amount of bacteria and enzymes are dispersed throughout your entire system in order to quickly break down buildup at an accelerated rate. Effective shocking is critical to enable full restoration of the failed septic system.

Regular Shock: Begin by flushing 1 to 2 bio-degradable bags down each toilet in your home and pour 1/4 bag down each drain, sink basin, tub, shower and floor drain. After 5 days, Repeat this process and maintain your system with 1 to 2 bags per month, flushed directly down your toilet. If using NT-MAX liquid, apply 5 oz down each drain, sink, basin, tub and floor drain weekly, for 2 weeks.

Power Shock: begin by flushing 3 to 5 bio-degradable bags down each toilet in your home and pour 1/4 bag down each drain, sink basin, tub, shower and floor drain. After 5 days, Repeat this process and maintain your system with 1 to 2 bags per month, flushed directly down your toilet.

Super Liquid Shock Treatment: For single NT-MAX Liquid applications: Distribute and pour 2 gallons of NT-MAX Liquid down all drains in your home and flush the remaining 3 gallons down your toilets. 5 Gallon pails include sample Bio-bags to be flushed down your toilets right after liquid treatment. Flush 1 sample bio-bag down each toilet. For multiple NT-MAX Liquid applications Distribute and pour 2 gallons of NT-MAX Liquid directly down your drains and flush the remaining 3 gallons down your toilets. Flush 1 sample bio-bag down each toilet and flush any remaining bags as well. After 7 days have passed, pour 5 gallons down the toilet furthest from your septic system. Any additional 5 gallon treatments should be applied once per week, flushed down the toilet furthest from your septic tank.

Cesspit, Cesspool, Leach Pit, Drywell, Seepage Pit and Leaching Grey Water Systems: Since these types of systems are of a different design, organic soil compaction generally runs deeper than that of a typical drainage system comprised of leach lines. Systems over 2 years old experiencing problems should increase the liquid shock rates above by five to ten gallons while following bio-pack treatments as detailed above.

Please Note: Once added to your commode, NT-MAX quickly begins traveling through your homes internal piping and out to your tank or pit area. Once there, NT-MAX consumes fuels and continues on downstream to your lateral or leach lines where it begins to digest away clogged zones. At this point, the activated bacteria flow directly into the drain field or cesspit where most problems arise. Septic systems may contain harmful gases and should never be serviced or opened without consulting a licensed professional.
