About pipeline maintenance and wastewater treatment
“If it’s not visible, it doesn’t come to mind”
We often take the drainage system for granted. We only pay attention to how important it is and how well it works when we notice the symptoms of a clogged drain, such as a flooded toilet, a slowly draining sink, or a rotten smell. If you have ever had to open a sewage pipe in your home to remove hair or other clogs from the drain, you probably noticed a nasty layer of sludge in the pipe. Over time, this layer continues to grow, which deteriorates the overall functioning of the sewage system.
− The most common solution is for people to rush to the nearest supermarket and buy a strong drain cleaner and clog remover. While these products help in the moment, they cause problems in the long run. When millions of liters of chemical drain cleaners enter the sewage system each year, they place a significant burden on wastewater treatment plants and ultimately cause problems for the environment.
Moreover, the regular use of strong chemicals can severely damage the pipes and the entire drainage system, leading to serious issues and financial damages later on.
The cause of the sludge layers in wastewater
The sludge layer is formed from various materials that enter the pipeline along with the water. These include fats, oils, greases, hair, soap and detergent residues, etc. Sewage systems rely on gravity, meaning the water flows forward and then downward. In practice, the pipes are continuously flushed with water, but this alone is not enough to remove residual or organic materials from the surface of the pipes. Grease is by far the trickiest, as it does not dissolve in water and easily adheres to the pipe surface. With each use of the drain, more materials accumulate in the pipes. Without maintenance of the pipes, the layer will gradually become thicker over time, eventually causing clogs, flooding, and unpleasant odors.
Clogged drains drive away your customers
When organic waste starts to rot, a hydrogen sulfide smell begins to develop. The smell is very unpleasant, similar to rotten eggs. It attracts various insects, such as fruit flies, which is a clear sign of a lack of hygiene and creates a bad impression of any home or professional facility.
− The saying “out of sight, out of mind” does not apply when we talk about drains. If clogged drains are left untreated, the rotten smell from neglected pipes will start to linger everywhere. Even the most wonderful service will go unnoticed if customers are driven away by insects and bad odors.
Finally, an end to new biological drain maintenance
Fortunately, there are new, sustainable methods for permanently solving the most common drainage problems. The new products are based on biological drain maintenance, leaving only water and oxygen in the pipeline after use. − SmartPipe’s eco-friendly and completely biologically sourced products will permanently solve these problems. The millions of non-genetically modified microbes in the products activate as soon as they enter the drain and literally consume any clog in their path.
Simple, quick, and convenient to use almost anywhere that drainage problems occur: in household kitchens, bathrooms, hotel rooms, etc. With regular use, the products not only eliminate clogs (and the associated inconveniences) but also provide a lasting solution to the problem, all while being easy to use, safe, environmentally friendly, and a step forward in sustainability.
