Air infused septic system

What do you guys on the OB use as a bacterial agent in your septic system. I have heard from someone that Rid-ex is not the best additive. Thanks for the input. I had to change a sump pump yesterday. It had been working for a number of years so not unexpected. Just never a good time. :violin:...

These may be just what you are looking for. I've had one for 10+ years with zero trouble. Worked on a steep hill behind my home in Ga. before moving back to La. where I mow 2 acres. https://www.cubcadet.com/en_US/zero-turn-mowers/z-force-sx-48/47RTDGJB010.html#prefn1=series&prefv1=Z-Force%C2%AE%2...

Whatever you decide to buy stay away from the homeowner quality mowers at the big box stores. Go to a dedicated dealer and get the highest quality that you can afford. I believe you would be happy with either of those brands. ...

Friend of mine has a 90 yammy 2 stroke, if he chokes it to try to start it he'll flood it and he needs to grind the hell out of it to make it fire. If he leaves the throttle in neutral and turns the key it will fire. He learned this from another 90 yammy owner at the landing. ...
