  • hi sir, i'm just wondering what bacteria is mixed with the waste and water?

  • @freetazz

    Good question. I use the freeze dried septic pak bacteria for Septic systems available at the hardware store.

  • @LordVaader But can we culture our own bacteria? so that we won't keep on buying?

  • @freetazz

    Yes, the bacteria will grow itself after you get everything started. If you want a cheaper alternative to septic paks use animal waste including cow dung or dog waste, ect.

    The white stuff is expand a foam to provide surface area for the bacteria to grow throughout the liquid levels. I use a biogas filter as my backflash arrestor. Please see my video, Biogas Filter.

  • @LordVaader so would the white stuff lining the bottom help prevent rust? i noticed your tank doesn't have a flashback arrestor why is that?

  • @muzicalman

    The barrel does not have a plastic lining. Plastic lining would keep metal from rusting due to hydrogen sulfide accumulation. A plastic barrel is actually a better choice then metal.

  • does that barrel have an inner plastic lining and would it be necessary?
