Dr. Pooper Septic Drain Field Cleaner Tablets – 20 Count, 10 Month Supply

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.

Purchased this as kept getting sewage smells in our home. Been using for almost 2 months and the toilet water is the clearest we’ve ever seen it. Smells are much less now. Also bought the toilet bd sewer cleaner. Both products work well!

I bought this product out of desperation. The lowest line of my leach field was flooded and full of bugs, and I was only days away from hosting a party at my house with almost 100 people invited. I started using the product heavily the first day, followed by two pills once a day.The day after the party, I went to check the leach field, expecting the worst. To my surprise, it was completely dry! There’s no way anything other than this product could have helped with the problem.Maybe it works especially well with my soil or my specific situation, but I can honestly say that I highly recommend it!

I am well into this bag of Accelerator and I can't tell if it's going to fix the problem or not.. After reading all of the reviews, I will give it a little more time!The product comes in cake/large pellet form so you can add them one or two at a time to the toilet bowl, which is great - no measuring. I think the price is a little high, but I may be bias at this point. I have had minimal results so far. I will update the post in a week to say if it did or did not work well.

This product is really good.

Bought this product because my downstairs toilet was making gurgling noises every time I flushed the upstairs toilet. Though maybe there is a clog. Use the entire product in a matter of two week in both toilets. No change. Maybe the issue is not a clog drain...

Does what it says it will do.

So, first off, great product, really helped clean my septic system!However, why am I not allowed to play in the street while using this product? I only ask because my time playing in the street shouldn’t be dictated by “big septic”. If you would be so kind and lift the ban on street antics while carrying your bag of field cleaner additives, I would be very thankful.Seriously, great product:)

Works well
