smelly dishwasher

The odors may be a backup of gases from your septic tank. If this is the
case, this problem can be easily and cost effectively solved by the use of
Bacteria Concepts’ SEPTI-MATE and SEPTI-SHOCK.

When used on a regular basis, these products help to greatly reduce or
eliminate bad odors from the septic tank, slows down the sludge build-up
process, maintains proper biological activity of the septic tank and where
applicable, keeps leach fields free-flowing. Thus, the source of the problem
is targeted.

If the odors are caused by organic waste build-ups in the drain pipes, you
can use Bacteria Concepts’ DB-X100 on a regular basis to keep drain
free-flowing and choke free. Since the live bacteria in DB-X100 degrade the
organics in the pipes, the source of bad odors is also removed. For regular
maintenance, a dosage of about 2 – 4oz. (60 – 120ml) needs to be applied
into affected drain pipes, two to three times a week.

We encourage you to contact us to order some product as a cost effective
means to solve the problem.

You will also receive detailed instructions on how to use the product to
solve any problems you may be facing.

Bacteria Concepts manufactures the highest quality bacterial products on the
market. Each contains a scientific blend of multiple strains of naturally
occurring active bacteria, which function precisely to solve a specific
problem. The blend is synergistic, which means that all strains are
compatible with each other and compliment each others activity. The strains
are chosen to be highly resistant to disinfectants, sanitizers, and to hot
water. This feature permits their use in any normal home, commercial or
industrial environment without imposing undo restrictions on accepted
methods or on personnel. All bacteria strains used are non-pathogenic (i.e.
they do not cause disease) and thus, will not harm humans and pets.

Bacteria Concepts products are non-toxic, biodegradable and hence,
environmentally friendly.

I had a similar problem with my dishwasher. I ran some citric acid through it, one complete cycle. Citric Acid is available at any pharmacy. It worked quite niely for me.

Before you go spending any money on chemicals to stop the septic smell that will always be there check to see if the dishwasher drain hose is looped up above the connection to the drain. If it isn’t loop the hose up as high as you can under the sink and attach it so that it doesn’t slip down. This will create a trap so that any the septic smell will not go back through and into your dishwasher. let us know how you make out. Scott T.
