FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Where is the best place to install the Biodigester?
Observe the place in your garden where water does not stagnate and consequently there is good filtration. Perform an absorption test before installing it according to the instructions. This is the most important thing, it is the basis of good functioning.
At what distance from a fruit plant should the biodigester be installed?
Preferably 3 meters from it so that the filtering of the waste is successful and the leachate is used.
What is a leachate?
It is the liquid resulting from a process of percolation of a fluid through a solid, which will nourish your garden.
What are bioenzymes?
It is a bacterial formula used in the accelerated degradation of organic waste.
Can I combine dog and cat waste?
Yes, taking care not to throw the sand into the biodigester, as it could create an obstruction.
Is the container going to be full?
Yes, it may be in the event that the demand of your pets is greater than the filtration of your subsoil.
Can my biodigester stagnate and what should I do?
It could be the case that in rainy weather the soil will receive excess liquid and the aquifers will rise in level; so the filtration will decrease. It is recommended to increase the dose of your catalyst during this period (2 doses per week) and reduce the amount of water. Then return to the usual weekly dose. If your situation persists, please contact us.
I notice that with the presence of a heat wave it began to present a certain unpleasant odor, what should I do?
Heat favors the degradation of your waste and encourages the formation of vapors and bacteria. To control the phenomenon, it is recommended to increase the dose of your bioenzymes and water. Skip one day if one for a week. Then return to the usual weekly dose
I see mosquitoes and flies in the pit, what should I do?
Your pet's waste is attractive to these animals; when some enter, they lay eggs. To control it, add a little more water accompanied by a few drops of alcohol.
I observe a kind of mass, already degraded, but I am concerned that it looks somewhat stagnant
The feces and their filtration will depend on the climatic conditions, the pH and their volume. It is recommended to increase the dose of its bioenzymes and water during this period to assist biodegradation. Skip one day if one for a week. Then return to the usual 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 go to your veterinarian.
My dog is very intelligent and I'm worried about him opening, how can I ensure this?
The biodigester is accompanied by a safety harness, you can put it on for your peace of mind.
I have small children, isn't it dangerous?
The biodigester is accompanied by a safety harness that you can put on for your peace of mind. Remember that minors must always be supervised to ensure their integrity.
Can biodegradable bags be thrown into the biodigester?
No, these break down in 14 to 28 months, which can clog your pit. Considering that after they disappear, the organic waste would begin to degrade, which will stagnate its filtration.
Can I throw feces into the biodigester with bags from the supermarket or market?
No, generally these are not biodegradable and normally they disintegrate in 15 to 45 years, depending on the polymer used in their production. Which will cause obstruction of your nostril.
Maintenance required?
If it is recommended to desilt once a year and/or saturation presentation on demand (minimal filtration); stop placing fresh feces and continue adding the weekly dose of the catalyst and its water; for 3 to 4 weeks. Observe that they are integrated into the composted mass. Remove sludge with the help of a gardener and place it in the garden and ornamental plants.
