Green Septic Systems in Oregon

(ARA) - The National Water Quality Inventory Report to Congress stated, "... poorly maintained septic systems are believed to cause substantial and widespread nutrient and microbial contamination to ground water." Poorly maintained septic systems are "the second most frequently cited contamination source [of ground water]." You can keep our gound water clean by using the available environmentally friendly septic system products in Oregon.

To address these concerns, Jelmar, the manufacturers and distributors of the CLR brand of products announced a new addition to its home care line, CLR Septic System Treatment.

The treatment works instantly and can be poured down any drain any time of the day. It's a completely environmentally friendly product and is the only septic product on the market that has been developed in conjunction with the EPA. There are no additives or preservatives, with each bottle containing only three monthly uses. CLR Septic System Treatment goes to work instantly, beginning to biodegrade grease and organic matter the minute it reaches the septic tank. Other products contain detergents, preservatives, and inert solid "carriers" that the bacteria attach to, causing backup of sludge that can be expensive to clean and difficult to live with.

CLR Septic System Treatment uses more environmentally friendly ingredients than other products on the market. More than 25 percent of all U.S. households use septic systems. In addition to that, there are 400,000 new septic systems built in roughly 33 percent of new developments. The EPA estimates that most on-site septic systems are more than 30 years old, and of these 10 percent malfunction by backing up onto the ground surface or into the home each year.

By using environmentally friendly products to treat their septic systems, consumers can help protect the environment, safeguard human health and keep Oregon green.

The CLR brand is formulated and produced with attention to quality as well as the environment. The company's septic system treatment has a full money-back guarantee to assure consumer satisfaction.
