| Since we last looked
at Biomagic there has only been a minor change. It is now available in a slightly
fragranced variety and it has the slighest of green colour. The Australian manager
Jacquie Harris proudly shows off the new product below. If you care
about the environement this is the ideal chemical of choice. It can safely be
put into a septic system, as it simply accelerates decomposition. Many products
on the Australian market are simply very strong deodorants - you end up hating
the smel of the chemical more than the stuff you are trying to "mask".
Others, particularly those using formaldehyde, simply "preserve" the
contents - yes it's the same product used for embalming and preserving your appendix
in a bottle. Biomagic MUST be measured. It's a shame it's not marketed
in an easy to dose bottle, like one other brand on the market. It works fantastically
well in cassettes in "virgin" condition. If you use it in an old tank,
then it must be scrubbed clean with a toilet brush etc. It is a good move to put
a double strength brew in the cassette and stand it on its end for three days
or more. If you have been to South Australia chances are your tank
will have crusty evil looking sediment deposits. Rather amazingly these mostly
fall away with just this simple soaking. It also does wonders for the main seal
and removes all those white powdery deposits. We also put 100 ml into our sullage
tank each month and leave it in there with the tank full for around a week. When
you open the valve you will find the water totally clear with zero odour. Rather
amazing stuff! Also keeps ants away if sprayed on the wheels. |
