Drain Field Cleaner Tablets by Dr Pooper. Clears Septic Tanks and Drain Fields of Tough Clogs, Scum, Sludge AND Eliminates Odors FAST - Aerobic & Anaerobic Systems - Easy to Use, Just Flush.

Update:Our lines were just too far gone for this product to be a long-term solution. We had to just bite the bullet and install new leach field pipe.Previous home owners had used corrugated plastic in a sock. Never use this as the sock immediately clogs.Reinstalled with 150 yards of PVC surrounded by river rock, 5 ft. deep. Then plastic cloth over that, then dirt.While doctor pooper helped temporarily, we lost the battle.----We had a squishy and pooling drain field (leach field). We're in the country and it wasn't a huge deal as our leach field is 150 yards out and in a pasture and far down a hill. So, there was no chance that it would back up into the house since the water was eventually coming out and pooling. However, we all know that this isn't what it's supposed to do and not the optimum situation for the cattle that we're planning on having out in that pasture.We had just moved into our very rural home in East Texas that had been very neglected for several years and eventually abandoned a couple years prior our purchasing the property. We bought the home not realizing the septic was pooling because of the vegetation that had been allowed to grow up in the pasture. It was a cash purchase and we knew there were a lot of issues with the home and it was a fixer upper.In any case, after mowing / shredding the pasture and discovering the pooling, I made sure to remove any saplings or small bushes from anywhere near where the pooling was occurring. I found a big root ball directly above the line that was close to the pooling area and removed a large root ball with our tractor and then used copper sulfate to insure that any roots in the leach lines were addressed. Still 5 months later, the leach field was pooling and squishy.I contacted a local septic service that advised me that it would be a huge expense to replace my leach field due to the old anaerobic system we have. The county would get involved, there would need to be an update of the tank, etc. and to try whatever I could on my own to get the lines unclogged and flowing all down the lines. They also advised to add more top soil since erosion had stripped our leach field of at least a foot of dirt. Fair enough. I leveled the leach field as well as possible with more topsoil, immediately.After that, we were still pooling and that is when I decided tried Dr. Pooper and Roebic K-570-Q Leach And Drain Field Opener Concentrate. After three bottles of the Roebic, I was still seeing pooling when we would do laundry or wash dishes (along with normal water usage). I then found Dr. Pooper and decided to give it a try.I don't know if it was a combination of the Roebic and the Dr. Pooper, but I really don't care either way. But, after about the fourth application of Dr. Pooper, our leach field began to dry up. So, my theory is that the previous owners never really did much to make sure the lines were biomat and grease free and put a lot of fish grease down the drain over the years (they were avid fishermen). Once I started to use the Dr. Pooper tablets the results were pretty immediate. I've ordered another bucket and am going to get through those treatments and see where it is then. Then I'll follow their maintenance dosage of one tablet, every two weeks.I was a skeptic but definitely a believer now. I realize that this won't work for some situations. However, if grease and bio material have clogged up your leach line holes, this is definitely worth a shot before spending 15k on a new leach field.That's our story and I'll update this review as things progress.

I dropped a few tablets directly into my septic tank as the septic guy recommended and you can literally watch it start to work as bubbles were coming up to the surface wherever I dropped every tablet. Very cool to see it having a "chemical reaction" I guess you could say.

Order by description and product now being packaged in a sealed bag. The picture of the sealed bag shows that it holds 20 tablets, received the plastic container with 15 tablets. I have have had good results with this product, the problem was I dod not feel I received what I had ordered, felt scammed.

We just had our septic pumped and was told by the technician that if there had not been so much sludge, we could have probably gone another year without pumping out. This came highly recommended by them to keep those pipes and tank flowing as they should.

So, seems to be working wonderfully. I was lax and my septic system was neglected for years and years with no penalty. A few months ago, the chickens came home to roost, a backup in the downstairs toilet, after a shower upstairs.After finding the long forgotten cap to the septic in the front yard, it was revealed to be full of solids. The septic tech kept taliing about system failure. I said, pump it for today, get me working, and Id deal with the percussions as it filled again.I was watching slow toilet flushes, not very effective, sometimes two flushes were needed.In my mind, I feared the septic had failed. Reading that failure has a few symptoms. You could have tree roots thatbreal your system, or more likely the drain field conduits are clogged with grease and matter.I was concerned, I started a RidX discipline every few weeks… a little better. So I wondered if there was a cleaning service, and found this productAs directed, results almost immediately, strong quick flushes… meaning the water has somewhere to go easily. With each 3 day dose, better and better. Almost done with the container, but ao obviously fixed. As spring comes, Ill have them inspect again, but I think Ive done it.This price is a good first attempt versus a septic tank repair or replace.Thanks.

First, thank you for changing to more earth friendly packaging! I had a very basic, ancient septic system with no problems, no back ups, smells, etc. However, while mowing last year I discovered the drain field very unhappy. No grass growing and muddy. I figured it was time to get a new system. I came across this product and thought what the heck. It saved me thousands by avoiding a new system! Grass is back, soft area gone. Gets a little wet when it pours and I have forgotten to treat it, but a couple treatments and it's back to happiness. Great product! Definitely recommend

I ordered the package with twenty tablets. I received the old container with 15 tablets. If it works that may be enough, but i like to get what i ordered and paid for.

Haven’t had a chance to use it yet but I’m hopeful it’s a good thing
