Instant Power Septic Shock – Septic Tank Treatment, Drain Cleaner Liquid Clog Remover for Septic System, 67.6 Oz

I purchased this to see if it would work. It did not disappoint! It was the right price, easy to pour and it worked very well!

Actually, it does work. I had a major problem with my 30 year old septic system. The previous homeowners had neglected having it pumped out regularly, and the fields were completely plugged. Replacing the fields would have been monstrously expensive because a road had been built over the fields after they were installed.I tried a different brand and nothing happened. I tried this item, and used it once a week for an entire summer. By the end of the summer, the fields were running normally. This is very impressive!

Symptoms:Water started draining slowly and toilet closest to septic tank started gurgling. Called a plumber and "over the phone" he diagnosed as a septic issue and suggested to contact a drainfield repair person. Then contacted called multiple drain field repair companies, so called "experts", who all said the same thing: "YOU NEED TO REPLACE YOUR DRAIN FIELD BECAUSE IT'S MORE THAN 25 YEARS OLD". HOWEVER, NOT 1 PERSON DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO SEE IF IT WAS ACTUALLY A DRAINFIELD ISSUE! Quote: $5000 to $7500 (Wow!!!!!!)Then so called "septic expert" suggested, drain the tank and this will give you a couple of months to save your money. Septic company who came to pump the tank, and said "Ya, it's your drain field, we have seen this hundreds of times. Pumping the tank won't fix anything". Well, it helped for a few weeks at first and then the problems started again.REMEMBER, NOT 1 PERSON TILL NOW DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE!Money was tight, and couldn't afford $5000 to $7500. We decided to try septic shock and everything else in market in an attempt to speed up the water draining. Well, NOTHING WORKED. The problem re-appeared again, and we had guests coming for the weekend. We decided to pump the tank again, after 3 months 1 day before guests arrived and then sign the contract on Monday to replace the drain field. Sunday, 1 hour before the guests arrived the water started backing up and not draining at all. Worst, this time raw sewage started backing up (YUK).I couldn't believe a 1050 gallon septic tank would be full in 2 days, with two people and no other discharge other than showers and toilets into the tank. Called another septic company on Monday at 7 am come and pump the tank again and when they opened the tank there was A HUGE SURPRISE.....Tank was only about 20% full, WHAT???????The septic guy said, it's a blocked main drain line. The new septic company jetted the main drain line from the septic tank, and a few packets of solid septic shock comes flying out of the main line which had caused the block that resulted in slow water draining and gurgling.After 6 months of this episode everything is working fine. We saved money in unnecessary drain field repairs and most importantly NOT ONE SEPTIC REPAIR COMPANY OR PERSON SUGGESTED TO CLEAN THE MAIN LINE. We learned a valuable lesson and would suggest to try the below noted before embarking on replacing a drain field:Step 1. Call a plumber and INSIST on having the main drain line cleaned and inspected with a camera.Step 2. Pump the septic tankStep 3. Punch holes in drain field, because if it's a biomat issue, this will fix it in a hurryStep 4. NEVER TRUST THE WORDS THAT COME OUT OF A DRAIN FIELD CONTRACTOR BECUASE THEY DON'T MAKE ANY MONEY BY DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM.This product didn't help to clear the blocked line, but may have helped to clear the drain field issue.

Works great. Easy to use.

My bathroom has a bad smell like bad sewer water and I've noticed little black flying bugs so I purchased this thinking this would solve the problem but nothing has changed. Unfortunately, it does not work.

Basically, I bought this to unclog my toilet because my system was backing up in to my bathtub. It did not successfully fix that issue. But I'm not giving it a one star. Because that's not what it's meant for it. And because my plumber said that the issue was pretty bad. He had to go get a longer snake and all that so maybe it wasn't the fault of this product. I have been getting the plumbers to come out and when they do, they fine baby wipes that I don't use, in my plumbing so I'm gonna say that it's not the fault of this product and I didn't use it correctly.

Works great!!!

My kitchen drain was making a bubbling sound. I got on the computer and researched what was happening with the septic tank. The recommendation was super shocking it, so I did. This stuff works. The sound has stopped. We'll see as days go by.
