Aerobic and Anaerobic Bacteria

There are two types of naturally occurring bacteria present in the septic sewage flowing to your septic tank. They are aerobic bacteria (require an oxygenated environment to live) and anaerobic bacteria (require an oxygen FREE environment to live). A septic tank itself does not have an oxygen supply so the only bacteria that can digest the organic solids in the septic sewage must be anaerobic, able to live with out oxygen. The anaerobic bacteria are rather slow and lethargic at cleaning up the septic sewage and do a fair job. On the other hand, the aerobic bacteria are 20 - 30 more efficient and do an excellent job of cleaning the septic sewage ; however, they quickly die in the septic tank because of the lack of oxygen.

Anaerobic bacteria (require an oxygen FREE environment to live). The anaerobic bacteria are rather slow and lethargic at cleaning up the wastewater

The problem with anaerobic bacteria is they flow from the septic tank and go into the drain-field of the septic system. They continue to feed on the organic material in the unfiltered wastewater. In the process, they eventually build up a thick layer of smelly, slimy septic sewage that clogs the drainage bed. This layer is called the bio-mat. The bio-mat is a living organism. The bio-mat first grows across the bottom of the drainage bed where the gravel bed meets the native soil. The bottom of the bed becomes clogged so the wastewater begins to pond or saturates the gravel bed. At this point the septic sewage begins to absorb through the sidewalls of the gravel bed, however, over time, the bio-mat eventually grows upward to the surface of the ground. At that point odorous ponding above the bed or around the tank cover will occur, or, the wastewater will back-up into the house. You could have a combination of any or all of these septic system problems depending on site conditions and elevation changes.

The Aero-Stream® product flip-flops the process in the system from a passive anaerobic environment to an active aerobic environment. The way we do this is by inducing air and oxygen directly into the septic tank. After your septic system is converted, the anaerobic bacteria die and the very active aerobic bacteria flourish in the tank. Because the aerobic bacteria are so efficient, they digest and remove 70% - 80% of the organic material in the septic tank. Then, this relatively clean water begins to flow into the drainage bed.

As you recall, the bio-mat is a living organism and it is causing the system not to work correctly. When the wastewater is cleaned up aerobically the majority of the food source for the bio-mat is cut off. Just like any other living organism in nature, when their food source is cut off they begin to die off. In this case, when the bio-mat dies it breaks down and becomes permeable again and the wastewater begins to flow through it. In addition to the starvation of the bio-mat, the oxygen rich water and aerobic bacteria flow out into the drainage bed from the septic tank. The aerobic bacteria have an appetite for the bio-mat and digest it. Therefore, the Aero-Stream® process is a two-fold approach at solving the septic problem.

Aero-Stream® Converts Anaerobic Septic System to a Aerobic Septic System

In less then one hour you can convert your existing Anaerobic Septic System to a much more robust and effective Aerobic System using the patented Aero-Stream® Solution

How Aero-Stream® Aerobic System Works

The Aero-Stream® Remediator™ reverses and maintains biomat permeability to restore full system function in a matter of weeks by utilizing a patented natural biochemical process to convert an anaerobic system to an aerobic system. The aerobic treatment of wastewater has been in use for more than 100 years. Nearly every municipal wastewater treatment plant utilizes aerobic treatment as one of its primary treatment processes. This process is robust, fast and efficient at cleaning wastewater. The aerobic treatment of the wastewater in your septic tank reduces the strength of the organic material leaving the tank by some 70%-80%.

Will the Aero-Stream® Solution work for you?

The Aero-Stream® Remediator™ has been installed in virtually every septic system and septic tank configuration, all soil types, and all distribution component materials, including: drain fields, trenches and chambers, gravel and pipe fields, dry wells and seepage pits, mounds and sand filters, and cesspools and lagoons. The Aero-Stream® Septic Remediation and Restoration System does not modify soil structure, however, it can optimize your system performance in all soil types -- even those with high clay content.

Septic System Facts

A new septic system can cost from $5,000 to $15,000 - and this does not include and landscape restoration.

The average cost of Terralift® procedure varies across the US from $1500 to $4000.

A system can be abused by dumping excess materials into it: paint, thinners, bleach, anti-bacterial products, and non-organic trash, such as wrappers and cigarette butts.

There are no chemicals or bacterial solutions on the market that have been proven effective in restoring or maintaining your septic system.

The expected life of a septic system is based on many factors, such as soil conditions, daily hydraulic loading, and the types of household chemicals used.

When should the Aero-Stream® System be used?

If your system shows signs of sluggish flow- toilets that are slow to flush, sewage backing up in drains, foul smelling liquid above the septic system, or backflow from the septic field during pumping- you will want to install the Aero-Stream® System and run it for 12 to 18 months to remedy the situation. Once your Aero-Stream® Restoration and Maintenance System is installed, you will find it helpful to run it periodically as a preventative measure to prevent septic tank problems in the future. As a minimum, we suggest running the Aero-Stream® System for nine months every three years to maintain the permeability of the bio-mat.

Kevin Prout 07/08/2009 Complete Review on RatePoint

I just can't believe how well this product WORKS! I'm not a religious person, but this, to me, is close to a miracle. I have never been more relieved in my life.

Barry Allison, Canada 09/10/2009 Review on RatePoint

I had neighbors laughing at me when I bought your unit. They paid between $18K - $22K (Cdn) for new systems. They are not laughing now. I even recommended your system to a friend and he bought one as well.Please post this for others to read and set their minds at rest. The Aero-Stream® product works!

Ken Clark 05/03/2009 Complete Review on RatePoint

I am ready to sell them I can't believe how well It worked. Thanks

Chis Shult 07/08/2009 Complete Review on RatePoint

This product has saved us several thousands of dollars already. We could not be more happy. There was no risk as they will buy the unit back if it does not work. How could you go wrong? Thanks again for inventing such a great product!

RatePoint Reviewer 07/02/2009 Complete Review on RatePoint

Excellent service and technical help. Can't say enough good things about this company. They stand behind their products and deliver.

Ken Couturier 04/21/2009 Complete Review on RatePoint

I was having to pump my septic tanks every month at a cost of $325. I had to pump the system the first month but have not had to since then. Obviously I have saved almost $5000. Very satisfied.
