Question 1

Can I take the cap off and use manually in disposal? or is the cap tamper resistant? Another reviewer mentioned this & I just want to make sure I can.

Accepted Answer

This is set up to provide a metered amount during disposal use, you do not want to do this manually because you'll end wasting a lot.   The are a lot of other products out there to add to a septic system manually that work great.  Don't waste your time and money trying to do it with this item.

Question 2

Do i still have to use rid-x in my septic even though i have this disposal with the enzyme solution that does the same thing as rid-x?

Accepted Answer

I have been using this Bio charge since 1998, the only thing I do other than the bio charge is pour outdated butter milk down the drain. The butter milk is not a regular thing but it is noted that butter milk carries the enzymes  for digestion. I do this seldom so it is not an issue with me.. I suspect that the Bio charge is enough. Of course, it does not hurt to add some other additive, other than Rid-X, once in awhile but that may be overkill and not a must. I do monitor the bio charge container to make sure it is injecting properly, when it appears to be empty, I will change the container out and pour any left into the bottle into the disposal with water running...

Question 3

How often do you have to change the bottle of septic solution?  Thank you

Accepted Answer

I think they recommend every 4 months -- but it really depends on how much you use it!  I hope this helps!

Question 4

Is it safe to use another fluid to refill the biocharge cartridge?

Accepted Answer

I don't think I would do that, but that is just me.  The product only releases when gd is in use. If the other product was more concentrated I don't know what it would do to the plastic. I would say it is for one time use over a 3-4 month period.
