How can this be alive if it is sealed in plastic ?

In Evolution theory, germs, whether, bacterial, fungal, or viral, were the first "life" so they've been around for almost as long as the Earth has. They've had to weather all sorts of problems in that time. Most germs can form cysts or spore forms in dry or adverse conditions which reactivate when there is water available again. That's why they can still be alive while dried out. And that's also why there can be such a thing as the "Mummy's Curse" and it's not BS. Germs can live an incredible amount of time. I think some idiot scientists are currently trying to reactivate some Black Plague just to see if it will work. We'll know it worked if there's an outbreak. But they'll never admit it was on purpose. If you put on gloves, and are careful, I'm sure you can cut open the Not Really Plastic bag and pour it out into the toilet. I think they use it to keep you safe from the germs. But I agree with your concern that... how do I know it's plastic? I mean, I don't want to risk putting plastic down the john. Even if it's supposed to dissolve. So cut it open if it worries you. Just have respect for the critters and don't get them on you.

Will it hurt if used more than onece a month?

No, it won't hurt at all. Hope this helps! :)

I have twp sewage & have been using ridx for about 2 years & it helped with keeping the line o8pen to the twp pipes. if I buy this am i wasting my $?

I am about to purchase another years supply of this septic treatment. It is working as advertised. When I bought this product three months ago, my system was failing. The grass on the cover has returned. Over the cover is now dry (not swampy). It is not expensive and it works!

Will this product work in my green cone solar composted? I have it in my vegetable garden.

Absolutely, it will help produce, activate, and recharge the enzymes needed to decompose solids... One quick recommendation: if there isn't a lot of liquid in your composter, I'd suggest opening the packet and sprinkling the contents instead of waiting for the packet to break open by itself. If there are plenty of liquids, then dropping the entire packet in will work just fine!

Well worth your money to keep your septic balanced!

These septic tank treatment pods were recommended to me by a co-worker. They are easy to use, just place into your toilet and flush, and do this once a month. Before I bought these, I was noticing a smell coming from my basement pump that goes to my septic. I used this about 2 weeks ago and I have noticed the smell is gone. This treatment offers the bacteria balance the septic needs. This is definitely worth your money and quite effective in a timely manner.

Excellent product for the septic tank

This product is a must have for any home. I was having a small issue with my septic tank and a scent emanating from.the run off. I only used 3 since our septic tank is 9 ft deep and about 6 ft wide. The functionality of this product and the speed at which it worked is astounding. The scent is gone . It's very effective, excellent product quality. I would highly recommend this product.

No need to wait overnight to flush or full of chemicals

I've used this product for 3 years and it's the best. With 3 kids in the house, using Rid-X per the directions of not flushing the toilet overnight is difficult. I'm not sure what makes this product just as effective, if not moreso, but it does. It's biodegradable, isn't full of chemicals and being a layman in this field, I imagine it's introducing the natural bacteria into the septic tank that can die over time that breaks down all of the "stuff". Easy to use, I came back to buy again tonight so thought I'd leave a review. I haven't needed my septic tank serviced since I've used this product in a 4-5 person home.
