Septic Additives: What They Are And Why You Need Them

If you own a home with a septic system, you’ve probably heard of septic additives—but what exactly are they, and do you really need them?

Septic additives are products designed to support the natural biological processes within your septic tank. Over time, waste builds up in your tank, and beneficial bacteria and enzymes work to break it down. Additives help boost these natural processes by introducing extra bacteria or enzymes, making your system more efficient and reducing the risk of clogs, backups, or unpleasant odors.

There are two main types of additives:

• Biological septic additives, which include bacteria and enzymes to enhance natural waste digestion.
• Chemical septic additives, which are harsher and may contain acids or solvents. These are generally less eco-friendly and may even harm your system with long-term use.

At Miller 1 Products, we focus exclusively on natural, eco-friendly biological septic additives. Our formulas are designed to safely and effectively maintain your septic system without damaging pipes, harming groundwater, or disrupting your local environment. They’re also simple to use—whether you prefer our monthly powder concentrate or our versatile liquid enzyme solution that works in cesspools and lagoons too.

Whether you’re maintaining a new system or trying to get ahead of problems with an older one, septic additives are a smart way to keep things running smoothly—and avoid costly repairs down the line.
