CESSPOOL CLEANERS
For That Faulty Cesspool
Use BLACK CESSPOOL
DIAMOND CLEANER
"Let Nature Do Your Work"
CLEAN - CONVENIENT - ECONOMICAL - LASTS LONGER
PUMPING NOT NECESSARY
Pumping or emptying a cesspool is NOT CLEANING IT, as your filterbed is clogged or your cesspool would not be full.
IT HAS TO BE FULL TO BE PROPERLY TREATED
The cleaner dissolves the solids and eats out the muck and slime that clog the pores in the ground outside of the cesspool wall, relcasing the water, correcting the fault which caused the cesspool to fill. The types of soil and the age and size of cesspool govern the quantity used.
ALL SEWAGE SYSTEMS CHECKED BEFORE TREATMENTS ONLY THE REQUIRED QUANTITIES USED
BLACK DIAMOND SEPTIC TANK CLEANER
Is an acid solution that is used in the tank to clean the filtering area WITHOUT INJURING the TANK in any way. It is used only after the tank has been emptied and allowed to refill with water.
This Is The Only Cleaner That Positively Will Not Injure an Iron or Steel Tank. We Hold Exclusive Rights to This Area.
