Updated: December 8, 2010 AEROBIC SEPTIC TREATMENT - A New Application For Na ture’s Original Technology ABG Technology Report - PART 1 As a home inspector in a vacation resort area of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, I have met a variety of people from all walks of life and interests. During an inspection in Sonora, California, I found the property owner was a close friend of my neighbor. We had a brief conversation and I didn’t think much of it. A few days later my neighbor and this man came to my house. My neighbor suggested I might be interested in a product they were looking to promote. They thought my connections with the local real estate industry might be a valuable resource for getting information about this system into the public’s awareness. My neighbor also thought my previous experience with waste antifreeze treatment and hazardous waste transportation might be helpful as well, particularly with my experience in dealing with the State and local government. I sat down with them and they told me about a process called ABG. ABG stands for Aerobic Bacteria Generation. They told me about a company that had invented a system that could prevent septic drainfield failure and with it I would probably never have to pump my septic tank again. They said it could be installed in a few hours and it was very inexpensive. I told them someone was blowing smoke up their *..! My neighbor was quite persistent so we set up a meeting with the inventor. We spent a day with this man and we learned how he had been a septic contractor for over 40 years. We learned why his company had created this system and we learned how it worked. We learned about the several thousand working systems installed in 40 states and multiple countries. Then he shared how his system had solved so many of the problems associated with waste treatment and septic drainfield failure. He told us about the extensive research conducted on the system by several independent agencies and shared the many aspects that his system had been proven to achieve in the real world. Some of those aspects included:

• Prevents or greatly reduces the possibility of drainfield failure • Installs and operates from within an existing septic tank • Digests 95% of organic material in the septic tank • Reduces or eliminates the need for tank pumping • Will not destroy landscaping • Operates on power use equivalent to a single 40 watt light bulb • Has saved property owners thousands of $$$ • Installs in a few hours • Begins cleaning the septic system immediately • Lowers ground water contamination • Eliminates septic odors completely • Is IAPMO approved for removing BIOMAT

• Is NSF 40 approved • Is environmentally safe • Requires NO permits (in most jurisdictions) • Requires NO engineered plans • Requires NO monthly additives • Requires NO heavy equipment to install • Is portable. It can move when the owner does • Can be installed by the property owner if they desire to do so • Makes septic systems self-cleaning, self-renewing and worry free.

The ABG system is capable of all this by design. Its purpose and function is to eliminate the primary cause of septic system failure and reverse the effects by removing the source of Biomat clogging and breaking down the Biomat. This aerobic bacteria generator system is comprised of three basic components.

1. A cylindrical appliance that is physically installed in the septic tank, cesspool or whatever containment is in place for receiving waste.

2. A powerful blend of facultative soil bacteria 3. A 40-watt low pressure, low volume, quiet operating diaphragm air pump.

The ABG appliance is installed into a single volume tank, or a chamber of a septic tank where the natural, powerful facultative soil bacteria begin their colonization and are continuously inoculated into the septic liquid. The bacteria colony is initially started with a textile sack containing 40 to 50 billion facultative soil bacteria spore. As soon as they are immersed in the septic liquid the bacteria become active and their colony begins to grow. These microbes colonize a lattice that coils around the core of the appliance. The ABG unit’s unique airlift design circulates between 20,000 and 30,000 gallons of liquid through the unit each day. This circulating effluent passes over 150 ft2 of surface area within the appliance, where a dense colony of these powerful facultative

bacteria attach themselves. Also, because it is a very efficient aerator of effluent, and with a constant flow of oxygen in the septic tank, the biomat creating anaerobic intestinal bacteria die. The facultative soil bacteria replace the weak intestinal bacteria and the septic system is continually inoculated with facultative bacteria. In this oxygen rich environment with a massive volume of organic material, the facultative bacteria colony doubles in size roughly every 20 minutes. The more waste material that must be digested, the larger the colony grows. It is entirely self regulating in this regard, and the digestion is so complete that regular tank pumping is potentially eliminated. Using the garbage disposal and dishwasher can now actually help generate the very microbes that will maintain your septic system. This is unheard of in a standard anaerobic system and some jurisdictions even ban garbage disposals where a septic system is installed.

As the effluent passes over the attached facultative bacteria, they multiply in response to, and digest, any additional food. Within a few hours, hundreds of billions of these microbes are generated and literally devour the biodegradable waste. While they continue to digest the organic material in the septic tank, they continue to multiply and huge numbers of them travel with the highly treated septic effluent into the disposal field. The treated septic liquid is now very low in organic food material, starving the resident slime producing anaerobic intestinal bacteria that caused the biomat clogging. The slime itself becomes food for the powerful facultative bacteria generated by the ABG system. This process opens the soil surfaces of the leach trench so septic liquid can pass into the aerobic soil again, which is actually their natural environment. They colonize the soil of the leach field and keep it open. Biomat clogging cannot reoccur and the system cannot fail from biomat clogging as long as the ABG system is operated. A secondary benefit of ABG technology is that ammonia from the tank is no longer converted to stable nitrates (as in some ATU systems) that can contaminate groundwater. The facultative soil bacteria, being tolerant of ammonia, allow them to thrive in a non-competitive environment. The ammonia concentration within a normal residential septic tank is toxic to other aerobic bacteria that might migrate into the tank through the air stream or somehow survive the passage through our digestive tract. This fact allows the facultative bacteria to devote their entire biotic energy to digesting our waste and not competing chemically with other resident species of aerobic bacteria. Testing for ammonia in the effluent of the septic tank will indicate the relative health of the facultative bacteria community within the system. As long as the ammonia remains within normal residential concentrations, the facultative bacteria have a healthy community. In the nitrification process, the powerful facultative bacteria convert the nitrogen in the ammonia to gaseous nitrogen and carbon dioxide, which escapes harmlessly into the atmosphere. Additional testing of the septic effluent indicates near zero levels of nitrate and nitrite contamination, the very compounds attributed to water pollution in our lakes, streams, rivers and oceans. The data from on-going testing continues to astonish the engineers and officials involved. Additional data indicates great reductions in fecal bacteria contamination as well. Now you can understand why I became very interested in Mother Nature’s invisible “Nanotechnology”. We use bacteria in the production of many food products, beverages, medicines and even cleaning oil spills on the open sea. The ABG System has harnessed some of the most primal elements of Mother Nature; her oxygen, her water and some of her tiniest of creatures to solve one of our most desperate of problems.

THE NEXT STEP IN MY RESEARCH. SHOW ME THE THING WOR KS Even with all that I had learned, read and was told about ABG technology, I was skeptical, but if it was half as good as implied, I could see definite benefits for my own home, and those of my neighbors and friends. So I bought a unit. The inventor himself installed it in about four hours including the time he spent teaching me every aspect of the operation. It takes us an average of 3-4 hours to install a unit. Three days later, I opened a tank lid for a look. There wasn’t much to observe. I saw bubbles from the air being pumped in and the scum layer on the top of the water was already partly gone. What was also NOT there to observe was any smell. I kid you not! If you have even been near an open septic tank, the odor can be very strong, distinct and often oppressive. In only three days, my septic system had no odor, even with it being agitated with air bubbles. Well, it actually had a faint scent of what smelled like Windex Window Cleaner. My septic system had the fresh smell of Windex Window Cleaner! Do you know how remarkable that is? My system had not displayed any symptoms of failure prior to the installation, but apparently there was something going on in the drainfield, because since the system was installed, the water level has gone down in the tank. After over five years there is no observable sludge or scum in my tank. The ABG unit in my septic system was manufactured by SludgeHammer Group, LTD.

Testimonials

"I do 50% of my business in the months of June, July and August. There is no gooey crust, I doubt that I'll ever pump the tanks again, the sediment is gone, and the water in the field is barely detectable. This total rejuvenation took place at our peak volume period." David Beier Chief Proprietor, Walloon Lake Inn, Travers County, MI

“A single unit, set in the solid side of the septic tank at the visitor center, Armstrong Woods State Park, has improved performance to where we now have a properly functioning leach field. We have not pumped the tank for a year and, at present there is not a build up of solids that requires pumping and the leach field is taking all liquid delivered to it." Roy H. McNamee District Maintenance Chief, California State Park and Recreation

"Our family had an [ABG] system installed in our septic system about 1 year ago. We had been having major problems with our leachfield and our tank was not draining properly. This usually resulted in backups into the house - into the tubs and showers and causing the system to be totally unusable. After the installation of the [ABG] system, and within just a short period of time, we noticed a major improvement. This improvement continued and I'm glad to say we have been backup free ever since!" Julie K Santa Cruz County, CA

“It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since you installed my System. It works great!!! At first I did not believe that something so simple works so well. I was facing a $600.00 charge just to pump the tank out! Next, I was facing the real possibility of putting in a whole new system – cost $50,000, new landscaping $10,000, and having to replace part of our vineyard $10,000. That’s $70,000 and a huge mess… Thanks again, Wally” Sonoma, CA

ABG Technology Report - PART 2 The Aero-Stream® Remediator® and Pro-Line™ Kits are also popular products that have gotten rave reviews for a number of years. The Aero-Stream product line is very affordable, easy to install and an Internet discount is available through this report. In the past, a property owner had limited options to resolve a failing or failed septic system caused by a clogged drainfield. The most common solution involved replacing the clogged drainfield and septic tank. Replacement systems generally cost from $5,000 to $40,000 or more, depending on the type of system being replaced. The New Solution For Failed Septic Systems Aero-Stream® has designed and developed a retrofit aerobic system for onsite septic systems. The Aero-Streams® Remediation System restores and extends the life of failed or failing septic systems by creating an environment that promotes the growth of aerobic bacteria. You save thousands of dollars and avoid all the hassles and problems that come with replacing your current system because the Aero-Stream® equipment is installed without excavation. The aerobic treatment of sewage has been in use for more than 100 years. Nearly every municipal wastewater treatment plant utilizes aerobic treatment as one of their primary treatment processes. This process is robust, fast and efficient at cleaning the wastewater. Aero-Stream® applies this same technology to your personal septic system. By changing the environment in the system from anaerobic to aerobic, 90% of the waste solids are consumed by the aerobic bacteria in your septic tank. As a result, less organic material leaves the tank as food for the biomat producing bacteria present in the drainfield. In addition, aerobic bacteria and oxygen rich water also flows into the drainfield and creates an environment where aerobic bacteria consumes the biomat. With the biomat being consumed and dying off, the drainfield becomes permeable again and system function returns to original levels. The Aero-Stream® Remediation System has been installed in virtually every septic system configuration and any type of distribution component, including: drainfields, trenches and chambers, gravel and pipe fields, dry wells, seepage pits, mounds and sand filters, and cesspools and lagoons. The Aero-Stream® Septic Remediation System does not modify soil structure, however, it can optimize your system performance in all soil types -- even those with high clay content. Immediately after the Aero-Stream® Remediation System is installed, the restoration process begins. Solids inside the septic tank are broken down and highly oxygenated water begins restoring your drainfield. Odors, an indication of a failing septic system, disappear and wet spots and ponding begin to dry.

When should the Aero-Stream® System be used? We strongly recommend an Aero-Stream® Remediation System be installed in all residential septic systems as preventative maintenance but should definitely be installed if the septic system shows signs of:

• toilets that are slow to flush • sewage backing up in drains • foul smelling liquid above the septic system drainfield • backflow from the septic field during pumping

Testimonials from http://ratepoint.com/profile/6108 “As of this writing, I am completely satisfied with the Aero-Stream system and below is an email I sent to the Aero-Stream Company: Karl, I wanted to email you and let you know how our Aero-stream system has been performing since I installed it on May 12, 2010. After six months of operation, the surface "water" that was seeping from the farmhouse cesspool (installed in the early 1900's) and the sewage odor has disappeared. The ground in the yard around the cesspool is dry (again) and is going to be landscaped next spring (2011) as a functional area. As I mentioned, the odor is completely gone, even when we remove the concrete lid to inspect the Aero-stream system and tank. I must admit, I was very skeptical that your system would work, especially after reading some web sites stating that these type of aerobic treatment systems do not perform as advertised. At this time, our system is working as you have stated. Another reason I decided to purchase the Areo-stream is because my son purchased your system about 1 1/2 years ago and I actually witnessed his septic system change from a nearly failed system (he had to have his tank pumped approx. every 3-4 months but has not had it pumped since he installed the Areo-stream) to a functional septic system. I will keep you up to date on my system.” by Donald A. Dale, AIBD on 12/02/2010

“Had a somewhat spongy backyard and was pumping the septic 3 times per year. Was told by the pumper (who's brother has a Septic installation business) that the system was "beyond recovery" and needed a new field to the tune of "Oh, around $18,000". Don't remember how I found out about AeroStream but figured anything was worth a try. Installed the unit in late March 09. No more pumping, no more spongy backyard, no more worries. A friend of ours, at our recommendation, installed a unit in his "failed" septic system. He's also singing it's praises.” by Wayne-WI on 12/02/2010 “This product worked for me. I noticed a difference in just a few weeks time and slowly (five months later) my field is working normally.” by Chesser on 11/15/2010 “i have been a customer for about 6 months with aero stream and to say the least i am very satisfied,my septic field was failing and i wasnt about to spend money i didnt have, so i started looking for options and found AERO-STREAM website now i must admit i had my doubts but i thought id give it a try considering i had to do something,where i live septic fields run from ten thousand to twenty thousand dollars.i called AERO-STREAM and the first thing i noticed was that i was talking to a person not a computer,that scored points with me right away! not only did they answer all my questions but also gave me another number to call on weekends if i had any more.i ordered the product and within a couple weeks it came to my door,the directions were easy to read and it was together in no time.seven months later my field has dried up,my grass has come back,and no more smell!! thank you AERO-STREAM for making me a believer, i have had people come to my house and look at your product and ask me questions,i did not hesitate in telling them how good your product was thank you again...”. DARYL MCCREA NEW BRUNSWICK CANADA by DARYL MCCREA on 10/21/2010 “I live in Central Florida and my drainfield developed a wet spot just two years after being replaced. The Septic Contractor who installed the drain field and others who came out to look at it all said it appears to have failed due to hydro overload and would have to be replaced again. The lowest price I was given was $4,000. Although it meets the minimum required, the size of my drainfield is two small for a 4/2 with four people. I have no other locations large enought to put a new drainfield and I did not want to throw another $4,000 down the same location when it would most likely fail again in two years. I found Aero-Stream on the internet and after reading the reviews and guarantees, I decided to give it a shot. That was a few months ago, right before the rainy season. The system was easy to install and the customer support was excellent. The wet spot immediately dried up after installing it. (of course pumping help) I have noticed that the wet spot reappears after a heavy rain fall. However, it seems to dry up fairly quickly as compared to it never drying up before I install Aero-Stream. It has only been a few months and may be too early yet to tell if this system will work over the long haul. I have not opened the tank since installing the system to see how clear it is. To do so, I have to dig several feet down. So far I am happy with the results and would recommend purchasing this system instead of paying for a new drainfield.” by Michael Deal on 10/08/2010 “Here is why I have to give Aero-Stream five stars: One, the concept. My leach field had to have air to break up the mat that must have formed and prevented the effluent from seeping down into the soil. Instead it was appearing in lush grass over my leach field and raw effluent at the end of my leach field. Drive by a sewage treatment plant and you will see that they are adding AIR, just as Aero-Stream does. After just two months my Aero-Stream system is already working. Two, the service. Don has been fantastic! Checking my photos, Making corrections, and offering encouragement. In short, great customer service and a great product....” by Al Hoeckley on 08/06/2010
