Bio-Recup+ | Rainwater Tank Maintenance | Plastic-Free!
Eliminates odours from your rainwater well, harvesting tank & water butt.
Bio-Recup+ is a highly effective, biological product in completely plastic-free packaging. It works using non-pathogenic bacteria and micro-organisms that break down organic material in the rainwater tank without releasing unpleasant odours. This helps prevent smells from developing in the water. Because Bio-Recup+ is entirely biological and contains no biocides, the water can be safely used for tasks such as laundry, flushing toilets, and garden irrigation. The product is also suitable for use in water butts.
Additionally, the product can help reduce algae formation by removing the nutrients algae need to grow. As it doesn’t kill algae directly, some patience is required.
The packaging contains 150 grams. It’s easy to use: simply dose a few tablespoons (15 grams each) of Bio-Recup+ into your tank. The exact amount depends on the size of your system. For dosage guidelines, see the tab: Instructions.
This product is 100% biological and carries no hazard label. Naturally, keep out of reach of children.
How do I use Bio-Recup+?
The maintenance dosage is recommended during the warmer months; it’s not necessary in winter.
Does your rainwater tank produce a strong odour? Then it’s advisable to temporarily increase the dosage. This is completely safe for both the tank and the use of the water.
How to dose?
There are two ways to apply this product:
- Directly into the tank: Spread the product evenly over the water surface.
- Via the pipes: First mix the product with water in a separate container. Stir well (the product does not dissolve!) and then pour it into the pipes.
