ordered a bucket, but wife worried about the worms growing too big and coming up the toilet, but decided to just use em for bass fishing, worked great.
It’s my understanding that worms breathe through pores in their skin. Therefore requiring an oxygen rich substrate. Even worm numbers in soils fluctuate due to the type of soil and its oxygen content. A septic tank is an anaerobic container [excluding the top inch or 2]. So basically how do the worms breathe in a septic anaerobic environment ?.
Great comment. I have another question. If the worms works as stayed in video. You will not have aludge and fat/grease build ups. But you should have millions of worms, if they do live. How do you remove them from the tank
We just do things different here in Southern California. What’s a “Sokoy” (I did see in your animation you are saying SOAK AWAY. Anyway, we call them leach fields. And they aren’t in soil, if properly constructed and up to code (legal). A leach field consists of perforated pvc pipes (holes approximately 1/2” in diameter and existing approximately 1/4 the way up the pipe-on each side- from the bottom) laying perfectly flat on 30”+ of crushed rock, then covered in crushed rock. We prevent soil from fouling our leach fields. And our tanks have 2 chambers separated by a “baffle wall” and connected by a hole at the bottom of the baffle wall. On the “inlet” side, the solids float and undergo natural deterioration. Only liquids can pass to the “outlet “ since most the solids float and can’t pass the baffle wall. Works well. Never heard of worms. Then again, I’ve never heard of a leach field set in soil. Not a successful one.
Fats, Oil, and Grease, which is commonly referred to as FOG floats on the surface of the wastewater inside the Septic Tank, because oil and water don't mix. As a result, the Outlet Baffle is what protects the Leachfield/Drainfield or "soakaway" as this guy likes to call it, from allowing the FOG to escape the tank. In other words, if the Outlet Baffle is a PVC Sanitary Tee with an Effluent Filter, then it's virtually impossible for any FOG to end up in the Leaching Field. In fact, if FOG is really a concern, then install a secondary tank or a tank with multiple compartments, because in conjunction with a Proper Outlet Baffle, you can pretty much eliminate the risk of any FOG escaping. However, multiple compartment tanks are more expensive to maintain, but typically don't require pumping as often due to increased capacity and longer retention time. By the way, Effluent Filters work great, but require routine cleaning a couple of times a year depending on how quickly they plug up, but in a secondary tank or auxiliary compartment take longer to clog, which is another reason to upgrade to a larger tank with multiple compartments or add another tank. The point is, you don't need worms or any Septic Tank additives in your system... completely unnecessary.
Worms in my yard come up out of the ground when the soil is waterlogged to breathe, common sense would tell me they would die almost immediately in an environment like a water filled septic tank. Sounds snake oily
do the worms eat the cleaning products/chemicals in the tank that had destroyed the good bacteria, and all those baby wipes too? without dying before the work is done? what's the avg cubic ft/hr.?
So I have a new house. Not even two years old. Septic floods around the tank every time it rains. I mean every single time it rains. There is some lower spots left from the tank install and they fill with water that smells of sewage. Is my tank cracked or something? Is the pipe going into it not sealed off in the hole and rain water is able to seep around it and overflow the tank?
Have you tried adding food dye to the inspection hole before the tank. Then empty a bath full of water and see does it go straight to the tank or leak at the joint.
what happens to the biomass of the worms? they eat the fat and other stuff...but then do you have a massive worm colony? do they die off? find equilibrium? also, based on watching worms they seem to die when they get too wet.
You can also look into adding a greywater only system for bath and dishwater that can be easily fitered and used to irrigate plants and grass, separate from your black water toilet water that must go thru septic sanitation
@@lilylily8711 I live in a very clay RICH area. Clay is NOT good for a leach bed. Not at all. So it might not be a septic tank problem per se, rather a poor soil quality leach field with a large family this can become a problem quick. An aerator is never a bad idea.
@@ojdidit34 how was your system before? I agree though have seen aerators take ages to show improvement. Filters galore - on washer, all drains, outlet pipe - and digesting the waste are a must.
Flushable wipes that are not Flushable causes a lot of these problems and the filter on the incoming line that health departments make us put in them. The filter clogs. Jerk it out. LOL If the tank is full nothing is wrong with it. If it is over flowing you have a problem. :)
You know the worst thing I could possibly think of is that some long thing like a snake is sitting in your toilet while you're sitting on it and either goes up the little hole that you got sticking down there or who knows it may eat you and I've never heard of septic tank fertilizer the first part of this is so true of the chemicals what they do is terrible but I really wonder about this product guys are really good salesman you go to a doctor and you find out you got worms ouch all of a sudden you don't they have to take a crap anymore there's a selling point just kidding
@Chef Mime Most soaps have detergent in them.....and bleach is used for cleaning white clothing. That's what does the harm. Seems like a person needs a regular septic system and a "grey" water system to keep them separate.

I’m with you Ross; what stops them from drowning?
do the worms eat the cleaning products/chemicals in the tank that had destroyed the good bacteria, and all those baby wipes too? without dying before the work is done? what's the avg cubic ft/hr.?
I'm holding out for the free Caribbean cruise offer...when will that be available again?
Basically you want your septic tank dirty as possible.. Not clean, avoid cleaners.
thanks for the comment
I am from Asia and willing to pay the shipping. Am just not sure if you do deliver
What do you do in cold climates in regards to the worms?
Hi, thank you for your question. In colder climates the worms go into hibernation.
So I have a new house. Not even two years old. Septic floods around the tank every time it rains. I mean every single time it rains. There is some lower spots left from the tank install and they fill with water that smells of sewage. Is my tank cracked or something? Is the pipe going into it not sealed off in the hole and rain water is able to seep around it and overflow the tank?
Have you tried adding food dye to the inspection hole before the tank. Then empty a bath full of water and see does it go straight to the tank or leak at the joint.
if you get water from your sink(all of our water is clean so we can drink out the sink) and it smells bad almost like feces what does that mean
Your drains need to be treated
Also roots from nearby trees are a common problem
what happens to the biomass of the worms? they eat the fat and other stuff...but then do you have a massive worm colony? do they die off? find equilibrium? also, based on watching worms they seem to die when they get too wet.
The worm just keep on reproducing and replacing the older ones that die. Worms eat everything in the end. Even us :-)
Watch the first 22 seconds of this video. That is your answer. No need to watch any further.
Thanks for your comment.
Sarcasm metre has broken.
Will the worms come back in the summer after a cold winter?
So no soap or shampoo for showers ? How I will wash my dishes only water ? 😞
same question
Thanks for your comment. You can use those products, but you must use plant based cleaning products.
You can also look into adding a greywater only system for bath and dishwater that can be easily fitered and used to irrigate plants and grass, separate from your black water toilet water that must go thru septic sanitation
If the septic tank water leak and goes to neighbouring farms what to do that land cannot be agriculture
I do not understand. Sorry
Or you can just fertilize your crops with human waste like North Korean and develop digestive worms from the crops yields!
@@MrMkapusta 😳
How come my outside still smells after it was pumped about a week ago? Smells like a cow pasture.
You have waste buildup in the drains, drain field lines and soil. I have quite a few years of experience.

Is that available in INDIA
No. Sorry
Has anyone had any type of success with this product?

Thanks for the comment
Today's a special day! 😆
has anyone tried this?
Mando Rodriguez it’s not good to do. It has to do with aerobic vs anaerobic.

Made me chuckle
can the soakworms survive to waste water from dishwashing, shower and laundry??
Thanks for your comment. Yes they can. Worms are very hardy creatures, and can survive in very harsh conditions.
Not only will worms die in a septic tank but the less chemicals the better to avoid killing off the useful bacteria
Interesting idea, but won't continued use of soaps, household cleaners and bleach kill the worms??
@Chef Mime Ya....isn't it funny how they haven't answered my question.....and probably WON'T??
@Chef Mime If they're getting into your tank, your tank is cracked and leaking.
@Chef Mime Most soaps have detergent in them.....and bleach is used for cleaning white clothing.
That's what does the harm. Seems like a person needs a regular septic system and a "grey" water system to keep them separate.
Now your six to eight hundred dollars worth of worms all die from the toxic cleansers and chemicals.
WTF did i watch just now!?!?…..
🤣
Is this a f in joke of April fools ???
