Grease Traps
- For best results, start with a clean grease trap.
- Add directly to the trap 1 liter of Cantol Bio-Drain per 25cu.ft. (156 gallons) capacity, or 1 liter per 0.7cu.m (702 liters)
- One week later, begin preventive maintenance treatment schedule.
- For traps that have been in use where a top crust is visible, add 1 liter per 25cu.ft. (156 gallons) or 1 liter per 0.7cu.m (702 liters) capacity directly to the grease trap. Repeat every 3 - 4 days until the top crust disappears and then begin the preventive maintenance schedule.
- If the grease trap is not treated first, it may receive more grease than it can handle and become overloaded.
- Use this initial purge treatment after closing or at non-peak hours, This initial purge will help establish the colony sooner accelerating desired results.
Preventive Maintenance
- Cantol Bio-Drain should be used daily to keep the culture in the grease trap at its full colony strength.
- Treatment should take place at the close of business or non-peak hours.
- First, run lukewarm water down each drain leading to the grease trap for 5 seconds to clear the line of any harsh chemicals which will reduce the biological activity in Cantol Bio-Drain.
- Cantol Bio-Drain should be added in a sink or pipeline closest to the trap.
- Treat the grease trap according to size with Cantol Bio-Drain daily. Use the following guide:
Size Of Trap Treatment (Ounces Per Day) 5cu.ft. (31 gals.) or 0.14cu.m (140 liters) 1 (28ml) 20cu.ft. (125 gals.) or 0.57cu.m (563 liters) 4 (114ml) 40cu.ft. (250 gals.) or 1.13cu.m (1125 liters) 8 (227ml) 80cu.ft. (375 gals.) or 1.70cu.m (1688 liters) 12 (341ml) For larger grease traps, apply four ounces for every 20 cubic feet (0.57 cu.m) every day.
- Let Cantol Bio-Drain stay in the drains overnight.
- The next morning, run lukewarm water down each drain for 5 seconds to flush the mixture into the grease trap.
- The recommended quantities will take 21-25 days to build to full strength.
- Dosage should be increased proportionately if there is an abnormal flow of solid waste.
- After the treated grease trap is in operation for at least 30 days, the depth of the grease layer should be checked. If the layer is deep (1 inch/2.5 cm or more), it indicates that the daily treatment dosage should be increased. If no grease layer is present, it indicates that a possible saving can be effected by decreasing the daily dosage.
NOTE: Do not use Cantol Bio-Drain where disinfectants, chlorinated dishwashing products, or very hot water (160°F/71°C or higher) will follow the treatment.
Drain Lines And Down Pipes
- Pour the recommended quantity down every drain or downpipe a minimum of 2 times per week to a maximum of 4 times per week, depending upon the usage of the building.
- Begin on the lowest floor and proceed upward, one floor per day, until the entire system is cleaned and flowing freely.
- If the line is dry, follow with a cup of lukewarm water.
- Once conditions are under control, continue treatment from the top floor only.
- Recommended dosage is as given below in the table
Pipe Size Cantol Bio-Drain Dosage 2inch (5cm) 3oz. (85ml) 2 - 4 times/week 4inch (10cm) 6oz. (170ml) 2 - 4 times/week 6inch (15cm) 9oz. (256ml) 2 - 4 times/week 8inch (20cm) 12oz. (341ml) 2 - 4 times/week - Dosage should be increased proportionately if there is an abnormal flow of solid waste.
- Apply Cantol Bio-Drain at the end of the day or during the lowest use period.
- Keep the schedule of treatment so that established colonies are maintained.
NOTE: Do not use BIO-DRAIN where disinfectants, chlorinated dishwashing products, or very hot water (160°F/70°C or higher) will follow the treatment.
- Application Equipment
- Use portion aid with a liter or gallon containers.
- Screw on the portion aid and squeeze the liter or gallon bottle and allow Cantol Bio-Drain to rise to the proper ounce level.
- Tip the bottle over and pour from the portion aid into the drain or grease trap.
- Provides for a clean, accurate, controlled manual dispensing of Cantol Bio-Drain.
- To automatically dispense Cantol Bio-Drain into drains and grease traps, use the Cantol recommended feeding and proportioning device.
- Directions for Use
Septic Tanks
- Initial Treatment: Use 17 ounces per 25cu. ft. (156 gals.) capacity or ½ liter per 0.7cu. m (702 liters). Pour into the toilet and flush.
- Preventive Maintenance: Use 6 ounces (227ml) per week for every 12 people using the facility. Pour into the toilet and flush.
- If the septic tank has become clogged and is giving off bad odors, add 1 gallon (4.5litres) directly to the septic tank through the manhole. Add every 3 days until conditions are normal.
- After the tank functions properly, begin a preventive maintenance schedule.
NOTE: Apply Cantol Bio-Drain at the end of the day or during the lowest use period.
Porta-Toilets
- Initial Treatment: Add 1 gallon (4.5litres) directly to the holding tank.
- If necessary, add water to cover the solids.
- Preventive Maintenance: Use 17 ounces (½liter) each week for continued waste digestion, making sure the waste surface is kept moist.
- Repeat initial treatment each time the toilet is pumped.
Recreational Vehicles, Boats And Marinas
- Initial Treatment: Add 2 ounces (57ml) per gallon (4.5litres) of water to the toilet holding tank.
- Preventive Maintenance: Use 1 oz. per gal. (6ml per liter) of water each week or as needed depending upon use.
- For use at a dump station, add 1 gallon per 50 gallons (4.5 liters per 225 liters) of tank capacity followed by 17 ounces (½ liter) per week. Repeat after every cleanout.
Sump Pumps Or Lift Stations
- Initial Treatment: Use a purge treatment of 12 ounces (341ml) of BIO-DRAIN applied weekly either directly or to a line leading to the pit.
- After the accumulation of solids in the pit has been digested, add 6 ounces (170ml) of Cantol Bio-Drain weekly either directly or to the line leading to the sump.
- Cantol Bio-Drain will help keep the sump free of accumulated solids and odor.
Waste Treatment Plants, Lagoons And Ponds
- Add BIO-DRAIN at a point to give the longest detention time in the plant: influent stream, settling tank, filters, lift stations.
- Initial Treatment: First 7 days add 3 gallons of Cantol Bio-Drain per million gallons of waste or sewage (3ppm.) or 14 liters per 4,500,000 liters, for the next 7 days, add 2 gallons of Cantol Bio-Drain per million gallons of waste treatment (2ppm.) or 9 liters per 4,500,000 liters.
- Preventive Maintenance: Add 1-gallon Cantol Bio-Drain per million gallons of waste or sewage (1ppm) daily, or 4.5 liters per 4,500,000 liters.
- The action of Cantol Bio-Drain requires approximately 30-90 days to reach maximum results. Maintain treatment dose daily.

- Add 2 gallons (9 liters) of Cantol Bio-Drain directly to the distribution box – the collection box in the pipe that leads from the septic tank to the drain field.
- This purge treatment should be done weekly until ponding or odors in the fields have disappeared.
- If the distribution box cannot be found, then add 3 gallons (14 liters) of Cantol Bio-Drain directly to the septic tank through the manhole. Keep applying 3 gallons (14 liters) per week until the cap or crust in the septic tank is gone and ponding in the drain field has disappeared.
- Once the drain fields are under control, regular preventive treatment as given under “Septic Tanks” will insure continued proper operation.
