Tarax

[londoneye]

My money-saving tip is buying Tarax instead of Eparcyl.

One box of Tarax for 6 months costs same as Eparcyl for three months. Admittedly around here you have to buy when you see as the supermarket only seems to get Tarax in a couple of times a year and then it's sold out really quickly (wonder why?).

Plus, this is the first year since changing to Tarax with our two septic tanks that we haven't had any smells whatsoever. Could be coincidence of some kind but I doubt it.

And, final point, you don't have to flush the toilet 350 times to get rid of the Eparcyl sludge which seems to hang around for weeks, thereby saving water as well.

Well, I suppose it's a small saving, but saves me at least 30 euros a year (with two septic tanks)!!

We don't use either of these products (just stuff naturally produced) so save even more money - though ours is just a 1 fosse dwelling.

Only ever used Eparcyl twice - once to restart the fosse after it had been emptied and once after I'd finished a short course of antibiotics. No need for 350 flushes to get rid of sludge, just poured the packet into the bowl during a short flush and it was all gone....[;-)]

Hi ok

If you had used Tarax you would not have too, with Tarax you can use bleach and take antibiotics with " sans danger pour fosse septic "

I have to admit I have never tested the (paraphase) 'ok with antibiotics and bleach' properties of Tarax. Frankly it sounds a little scary - something that is resistant to antibiotics is not rocking my boat but worrying me - but hey ho !

Works for me.
