Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to install the Biodigestor?

Observe your garden to find a spot where water does not stagnate, ensuring proper filtration. Perform an absorption test before installation following the instructions. This is the most important step, as it forms the foundation for effective operation.

At what distance from a fruit tree should the Biodigestor be installed?

Preferably, install it at least 3 meters away to ensure effective waste filtration and optimal use of leachates.

What is a leachate?

It is the liquid resulting from the percolation of a fluid through a solid, providing nutrients for your garden.

What are bioenzymes?

It is a bacterial formula used for the accelerated decomposition of organic waste.

Can I combine dog and cat waste?

Yes, be careful not to dispose of the litter in the biodigester, as it could cause a blockage.

Will the container fill up?

Yes, this may be necessary if your pets’ waste production exceeds the soil’s filtration capacity.

Can my Biodigestor get clogged, and what should I do?

During the rainy season, excess water may saturate the soil and raise the water table, reducing filtration. We recommend doubling the catalyst dose for one week while decreasing the amount of water added. After this period, return to the regular weekly dosage. If the issue persists, please contact us.

I noticed that during a heatwave, an unpleasant odor started to appear. What should I do?

Heat accelerates the decomposition of waste and promotes the formation of vapors and bacteria. To control this, we recommend increasing the dose of bioenzymes and water. Apply it alternately, one day yes and one day no, for one week. Afterward, return to the regular weekly dosage.

I see mosquitoes and flies in the pit. What should I do?

Your pet’s waste can attract these little creatures, and they may lay eggs. To control this, add a little more water along with a few drops of alcohol.

I notice a kind of mass, already degraded, but I am concerned that it looks somewhat stagnant.

The feces and their filtration will depend on climatic conditions, pH, and their volume. It is recommended to increase the dose of bioenzymes and water during this period to support biodegradation. Apply on alternating days for one week, then return to the regular weekly dose.

My pet ate the bioenzymes. What should I do?

There is no history of toxicity from ingesting them; however, you should drink plenty of water and consult your veterinarian.

My dog is very smart, and I’m worried it might open it. How can I secure it?

The biodigester comes with a safety harness, which you can use for your peace of mind.

I have young children. Is it dangerous?

Remember that minors should always be supervised to ensure their safety and well-being.

Can biodegradable bags be disposed of in the Biodigestor?

No, these break down within 14 to 28 months, which could obstruct your pit. Considering that after they disappear, the organic waste would start to degrade, it would cause your filtration to become stagnant.

Can I dispose of pet waste in the Biodigestor using supermarket or market bags?

No, these are generally not biodegradable and usually disintegrate over 15 to 45 years, depending on the polymer used in their production. This would cause an obstruction in your pit.

Does it require maintenance?

It is recommended to desludge once a year and/or when saturation is observed due to demand (minimum filtration). Stop adding fresh waste, but continue adding the weekly dose of the catalyst and water for 3 to 4 weeks. Monitor that it integrates into the composted mass. Remove sludge with the help of a gardener and place it in the garden and ornamental plants.
