Have you ever fought with your neighbors over sewerage? And we fought. And more than once. Once it almost came to a fight, and the promise of dunking each other’s faces into a stinking puddle is what we have instead of hello :). Isn't that right for you? And I just didn’t know what to do. The worst thing is that formally the problem was on my side. Groundwater, of which there was an abundance this winter and spring, constantly overflowed the well. And then - over the top, downhill, straight onto the neighbor’s property. Believe it or not, it was awkward for me. I wanted to solve the problem, but no one agreed to dig in the winter. But a solution was found. Would you like me to tell you how to use it correctly? product for cesspools and septic tanks Doctor Robik?
How does the drug work?
The most important thing that consumers need to know is that the product is safe for nature. The main active component is bacteria, or more precisely, their spores, which are sown in conditions convenient for them and begin to process solid organic substances.
Important! The type of bacteria that will grow from spores is anaerobic, that is, they work without access to air and react normally to temperature changes.
How the tool works:
- Once in favorable conditions, spores begin to multiply. Entire colonies develop in a septic tank, cesspool, or compost. They absorb solid particles and, digesting them, make them liquid.
- On the first day, a fermentation process is observed, which sometimes causes the formation of gas plugs. After 32 hours, the cesspool/septic tank will work normally.
- 4 days after introducing bacteria into the sump, the unpleasant odor will disappear. By this point, most of the wastewater has already been recycled.
- The life cycle of bacteria is completely completed 14 days after they are started. It is at this time that the manufacturer recommends pumping out liquid waste.
Important! If the pit or septic tank is too silted, then 6 days after the first use the stock of bacteria should be renewed.
Additional feedback on usage features
"Doctor Robik 509" will be able to restore the system if used according to the instructions. For example, the temperature readings when pouring the cleaning agent must be positive. If there is a need to clean the collector, then the reagent must be poured into the drain hole, and then washed off with water several times.
If you are treating bathrooms that are used far from residential buildings, it is recommended to pour the composition into a cesspool. Consumers are advised to follow the manufacturer's recommendations when the cesspool has not been used for a long time. When the waste mass dries out, it is necessary to pour 2 buckets of warm water into the tank.
Advantages and disadvantages
The biological drug, as its instructions say, is absolutely safe, and it has other advantages, but it is not without its disadvantages.
Advantages:
- Breaks down large solid particles.
- Eliminates uncontrolled growth of pathogenic bacteria.
- Removes unpleasant odors.
- The amount of wastewater is reduced, which means there is no need to call the vacuum cleaners too often.
- The drug improves the performance of the septic tank.
- Does not damage the pipeline.
- Availability.
Among the negative qualities:
- Bacteria work best at temperatures above +4; if it is lower, the microorganisms may die, which means they will have to be reintroduced into the septic tank/cesspool.
- Costs more than chemicals.
Important! When choosing a product from the Doctor Robik series, you should pay attention to its type. There are different compositions for a septic tank, a cesspool with overflow, a sewer well, and compost. In conditions other than those for which they are intended, bacteria will not work efficiently.

What determines the effectiveness of bacteria?
Temperature readings during the period of using the “Doctor Robik” product for cleaning a septic tank, cesspool and composting organic matter must be positive.
When cleaning the collectors, the reagent is poured into the drain hole, after which it is washed off several times with water.
When treating bathrooms, away from residential buildings, the solution is poured into a cesspool.
Long-term non-use of the cesspool and drying out of the waste mass requires first pouring a couple of buckets of warm water into the tank.
In winter and severe frosts, cleaning activity slows down or stops, so it is necessary to provide a comfortable temperature regime for the growth and reproduction of biological activators.
Watch the video about the frequency of use of biological products for cesspools and septic tanks.
Bacteria are living creatures that are adapted to certain environmental conditions. Their activity depends on:
- temperature;
- the presence of sudden temperature changes;
- presence of light;
- amount of oxygen;
- concentrations of xenobiotics (substances foreign to living organisms).
Septic tanks and cesspools require bacteria that can work in any conditions - aerobic, anaerobic, with aggressive environments with an alkaline or acidic reaction. For cesspools that do not have a sewer drain, microorganisms that are sensitive to household chemicals are suitable. If all the wastewater from the house is drained into a septic tank, then microorganisms with high resistance to alkalis are needed.
The life of bacteria is directly related to waste processing; the more food there is, the faster they multiply, forming colonies. Having multiplied to the required quantity, they are capable of processing up to several kilograms of solid insoluble residues contained in household wastewater per day.
Bacteria and fungi occupy a special niche in the structure of the ecosystem. They support the cycle of substances in nature. Plants synthesize organic substances from inorganic ones. For example, oxygen is obtained from carbon dioxide, and chemical elements are converted into organic ones.
In turn, the resulting organic substances are consumed by higher animals and converted into more complex compounds. Bacteria transform organic residues, decomposing them into simple elements. Thereby closing the cycle of substances.
If food for bacteria and other decomposers runs out, their numbers rapidly decrease. Dying bacteria make room for plants, which in turn receive a nutrient medium for existence.

Thus, the sludge from the bottom of the cesspool or tank where the bacteria were used serves as an excellent fertilizer.
Water processed in a septic tank is free of the smell of sewage and can be used to water plants in the garden. However, it is worth noting that the bacteria must be resistant to household chemicals.
The drains contain a large amount of not only organic substances, but also residues of detergents that are used in any family. Bacteria for septic tanks "Doctor Robik" are bred taking into account the increased alkali content in wastewater.
This means that they are able to survive and process not only organic matter, but also various foaming additives. This makes the manufacturer a leader in the production of bacterial cleaning products.
Like any other microorganisms, “Doctor Robik” bacteria require special conditions to maintain vital activity and reproduce.
Compliance with a number of rules will improve the efficiency and duration of microorganisms:
- The water level in the septic tank or container must be at least one third of the tank’s volume. Otherwise, there will not be the necessary space for development.
- The temperature regime must be observed. This means that wastewater should not be allowed to freeze. In the case of shallow cesspools, this is inevitable, and therefore in the winter season there will be no effect from the work of microorganisms.
- Do not drain water whose temperature exceeds 60°C. This will lead to the death of microorganisms. The septic tank must be constantly used. Otherwise, the bacteria will not have enough food, which will lead to a reduction in the colony and extinction during prolonged periods of inactivity.
- Do not flush any remaining medications into the septic tank, as microorganisms are not resistant to antibiotics and other agents.
- Frequent use of bleach and other chlorine-containing products should be avoided.
By following these recommendations, you can significantly increase the lifespan of microorganisms, as well as save on pumping wastewater with a sewer machine.
Purified water enriched with minerals can be used for watering plants in a personal plot, since the amount of harmful impurities does not exceed sanitary and epidemiological standards. If there is a cesspool on the site, then the sludge from its bottom will be suitable as organic fertilizer.
For cesspool
The accelerator for compost heaps and pits, based on compositional formula 209, is saturated with special soil microorganisms.
It affects any organic matter, accelerates the ripening of compost mass and forms humus in the shortest possible time.
The result of decomposition is the production of a balanced compost mass, useful for any type of soil.
Rules of application
Monthly use involves first flushing the compost pit or pile with warm water:
- the contents of the package are scattered on top of the wet compost;
- powder, on the surface of the compost, is sprinkled with a layer of garden soil;
- The soil backfill and powder are mixed thoroughly.
The contents of one package are enough for one-time use on an area of one and a half square meters.
The drug is safe for humans, animals and vegetation. Keep out of the reach of children.
Rules of application
Before using Dr. Robic on your sump pit, you should run warm water over the pile or compost pit. The contents of the package must be scattered over the wet compost. Next, the layer is sprinkled with garden soil. The soil backfill and powder must be mixed. The contents of one package will be sufficient for one-time use on an area of 1.5 m2.
Release form
Products from the series are produced in liquid and powder form. The first option is a ready-to-use activator; it only needs to be diluted with water in the required proportion (indicated on the package).
When dry, spores can be stored for quite a long time, which is convenient. In order to activate dry spores, they are filled with water. It is not recommended to use the drug in dry form, since the activity of the spores is greatly reduced and they act slowly.
