The Science of Sanitation: How Dr Water Loo’s 2-Pill System Naturally Transforms Human Faeces.

When dealing with pit latrines, septic tanks, and French drains, the common approach for many years has been to use harsh chemicals or simply dig a new pit when the old one fills up human faeces. But pouring industrial cleaners or bleach down a toilet actually makes the problem much worse.

The main purpose of Dr Water Loo sanitation treatment is the breaking down of Human Faeces

With the Dr Water Loo treatment, we believe that the most effective way to manage human faeces isn't through toxic chemicals, but through science and nature. Our organically based, two-tablet treatment breaks down the human faeces and restores your sanitation system by addressing the root cause of waste build-up.

The Root of the Problem: Anaerobic Sludge

To understand why Dr Water Loo is so effective, you first have to understand that pit latrines and septic tanks fail due to the build-up of human waste that creates unbearable odors, and swarms of flies due to an untreated anaerobic environment.

Without natural micro-organisms present the breakdown processes are highly inefficient and slow. Worse, these anaerobic bacteria form a thick, solid slime layer on the soil surface and walls of the pit latrine or septic tank. This slimy barrier prevents the liquid within the pit latrine from naturally seeping into the surrounding soil, causing the pit to fill up rapidly and creating a breeding ground for diseases and pests.

The Dr Water Loo Solution: Aerobic Digestion

Through the Dr Water Loo treatment, we developed a completely natural, organically based system to reverse these conditions. Instead of masking the problem, Dr Water Loo introduces exactly what the environment is missing:  the "correct" species of micro-organisms, and powerful natural stimulants.

 

Applied every 12 to 14 days, depending of usage at household, schools, clinics, etc. the Dr Water Loo treatment does the following:

 

  • Microbes: It introduces naturally occurring micro-organisms that are specifically chosen for their ability to aggressively digest human waste. (Note: These microbes are sourced from nature but propagated in a laboratory to ensure they remain pure and uncontaminated by alien organisms).

  • Fragrance: It releases specific fragrances designed to completely eliminate bad odors, rather than just masking them.

  • Stimulants & Nutrients: The specific organic acids and nutrients. These act as an energy boost, stimulating the applied microbial population to establish quickly and work at peak efficiency.

What Happens After You Drop the Tablets?

Once the two tablets mixed with 2-4 Liters of water (to activate the processes), hit the pit or septic tank the science goes to work immediately:

  • Rapid Sludge Reduction: Within just 2 to 3 days of the first treatment, the level of a full pit latrine will drop by at least 35 cm, saving households from having to relocate their facilities due to a full pit latrine.

  • Dissolving the Slime Barrier: The energized microbes aggressively eat away the slimy anaerobic sludge layer coating the walls of the pit or drain. Once this layer is digested, natural water seepage into the surrounding soil (and nature takes its course) is fully restored.

  • Pest Eradication: Because the waste is broken down so rapidly and the odors are neutralized, flies, mosquitoes, and maggots lose their food source and begin to disappear within just 3 days.

The Ultimate End Product: Water and Carbon Dioxide

Because the Dr Water Loo treatment is biological and organic, the emissions from this intense digestion process are completely harmless. The solids are efficiently converted into, usable "grey water" within 48 to 72 hours (3 to 4 days).

 

Economic value

This resulting grey water is incredibly valuable. It is completely safe to be repurposed as an agricultural resource to irrigate crops, gardens, and above-ground vegetation. Furthermore, for the servicing companies tasked with pumping or cleaning these systems, the grey water poses zero health risks to handle.

 

 

Safe for People and the Environment

By mirroring nature's own processes, Dr Water Loo treatment achieves incredible results by breaking down human faeces resulting in better primary health and environmental results, without using toxic chemicals. It poses absolutely no threat to humans, plants, animals, or fish, and it actively protects our vital groundwater and river systems from contamination.
