I purchased the Septic Genie following a large amount of research and three years of having our septic tank pumped every few months. The 500 gallon septic tank and leach bed were installed in 1973. We moved to this residence in 2020. I believe the leach bed had been clogged for many years. I tried every type of additive I could find to clear the tank and leach field. None worked. Bids for a new system were $10,000 - $15,000. I had the tank pumped and let it fill naturally before installing the Genie.
I installed the Septic Genie myself. It was simple and easy. As the instructions warned, the smell was tremendous for the first 24 - 48 hours. Following that the odor was gone. It as been 2 weeks and the overflow has ceased and the level is slowly dropping. There is no longer any scum nor visible solids.
Due to the age of the system and level of clogging I do not expect immediate results.
The Genie is definitely working and I will continue to monitor it as time passes.
This is an easily installed and effective system.
Thank You.
My wife and I currently have four tenants sharing our 2 1/2 story house with us. Before Septic Genie and with just one tenant we were experiencing a failing leach field. It's been over three years now and with just an annual SG Tab were able to live like normal without worrying about back-ups or scheduling laundry.
It really works. It really is a game changer, and the Customer Service is on par with Nordstroms. Most Satisfied, Mike and Julie
From what I can tell it is working awesome when I check levels it where it should be before putting in the system it was over full very happy with the outcome
The lady I spoke to was so very helpful and never made me feel rushed. She made the process of ordering very smooth.
