Historical background on production
The Roebic Corporation has been conducting laboratory research since 1959. Initially, the company was engaged in the selection and cultivation of colonies of microorganisms to provide environmentally friendly products to the US domestic consumer market. The developments were based on known types of bacteria of rotting and decomposition.
By selecting and growing in an alkaline environment, the bacteria have become resistant to various wastewater compositions. Thanks to its success in breeding, Roebic has become a leading supplier of patented products and plumbing fixtures throughout the United States.
Subsequently, the corporation entered the international level and began supplying goods to foreign markets. ROEBIC Corporation has developed and patented lines of bacterial cultures that actively digest residues of fats, oils, proteins, starch and cellulose.

The corporation's main product line consists of the five most popular biologically active agents. The full range of products includes more than 35 items. They are used not only in private households, but in highly specialized industries.
All products are environmentally friendly. It is certified by international environmental organizations. The quality of products is controlled by the corporation and is constantly improved through scientific activities.
Regardless of the degree of cleaning performed, all septic tanks and cesspools must be cleaned by vacuum cleaners, and ground treatment systems must be cleaned by the owners. When using bacteria, the periods between calls for vacuum cleaners increase significantly (+)
ROBIC: number of interaction with the world “4”
People whose expression number is four are rarely attacked by doubts and worries. Typically, “fours” know exactly what they want and have a great idea of how to achieve it. Yes, few things come easy to them, but the efforts made are never in vain; in other words, such a person rarely wins the lottery, but never works without proper compensation. The average “four” student is the hope and support of his family members, relatives and colleagues. It is he who usually replaces the boss when he is sick or on vacation, gives sensible advice, advises colleagues, corrects the mistakes of others and resolves the most important issues. In his work, such a person often becomes indispensable, and an excellent addition to his outstanding business qualities is his reluctance to participate in behind-the-scenes intrigues and any dubious transactions.
“Fours” at first glance give the impression of serious, thorough and reasonable people - and this is not an illusion, that’s exactly what they are. Any negligence for them, if not an enemy, is undoubtedly a negative and unpleasant factor, and people of the four spend a lot of energy on fighting it. Preferring to stay away from any risky undertakings and dubious enterprises, “fours” are usually content with what they have, but provide themselves with maximum comfort and coziness at every stage of life. Extremely honest towards others, they expect the same from others; by lying even in small things, you can ruin your relationship with a “four-spirit” once and for all.
People of the Four, as a rule, do not recognize half measures, but they are practical and rational enough to make concessions in some cases and even allow themselves to be commanded. The behavior of a “quad” is subject to logic and is usually quite predictable for others; his goals are clear and his desires are feasible.
“Fours” pay a lot of attention to their family; constancy and responsibility are perhaps the most pronounced traits of their character. Taking care of loved ones and trying to satisfy their needs as much as possible, people of four, as a rule, strive to control the situation and not lose sight of even the most insignificant events. The “Four” may not be the recognized head of the family, but there is no doubt that not a single decision will be made without his approval.
The mistake of a “four-speaker” can be the desire for the benefits of life that are not necessary for him. Thus, wanting to comply with the wishes of parents, marriage partner or children, such a person drives himself into the trap of depression; Having learned to understand himself well and listen to his own intuition, he, on the contrary, is happy.
General principle of biological treatment
The life of bacteria is directly related to waste processing; the more food there is, the faster they multiply, forming colonies. Having multiplied to the required quantity, they are capable of processing up to several kilograms of solid insoluble residues contained in household wastewater per day.
Bacteria and fungi occupy a special niche in the structure of the ecosystem. They support the cycle of substances in nature. Plants synthesize organic substances from inorganic ones. For example, oxygen is obtained from carbon dioxide, and chemical elements are converted into organic ones.
In turn, the resulting organic substances are consumed by higher animals and converted into more complex compounds. Bacteria transform organic residues, decomposing them into simple elements. Thereby closing the cycle of substances.
The figure clearly shows the role of each participant in the ecosystem. Plants produce substances necessary for the life of animals, which in turn consume and transform them. Bacteria decompose complex organic compounds, thereby providing plants with food (+)
If food for bacteria and other decomposers runs out, their numbers rapidly decrease. Dying bacteria make room for plants, which in turn receive a nutrient medium for existence.
Thus, the sludge from the bottom of the cesspool or tank where the bacteria were used serves as an excellent fertilizer.
Water processed in a septic tank is free of the smell of sewage and can be used to water plants in the garden. However, it is worth noting that the bacteria must be resistant to household chemicals.
The drains contain a large amount of not only organic substances, but also residues of detergents that are used in any family. Bacteria for septic tanks "Doctor Robik" are bred taking into account the increased alkali content in wastewater.
This means that they are able to survive and process not only organic matter, but also various foaming additives. This makes the manufacturer a leader in the production of bacterial cleaning products.
For cesspool
The accelerator for compost heaps and pits, based on compositional formula 209, is saturated with special soil microorganisms.
It affects any organic matter, accelerates the ripening of compost mass and forms humus in the shortest possible time.
The result of decomposition is the production of a balanced compost mass, useful for any type of soil.
Rules of application
Monthly use involves first flushing the compost pit or pile with warm water:
- the contents of the package are scattered on top of the wet compost;
- powder, on the surface of the compost, is sprinkled with a layer of garden soil;
- The soil backfill and powder are mixed thoroughly.
The contents of one package are enough for one-time use on an area of one and a half square meters.
The drug is safe for humans, animals and vegetation. Keep out of the reach of children.

Additional feedback on usage features
"Doctor Robik 509" will be able to restore the system if used according to the instructions. For example, the temperature readings when pouring the cleaning agent must be positive. If there is a need to clean the collector, then the reagent must be poured into the drain hole, and then washed off with water several times.
If you are treating bathrooms that are used far from residential buildings, it is recommended to pour the composition into a cesspool. Consumers are advised to follow the manufacturer's recommendations when the cesspool has not been used for a long time. When the waste mass dries out, it is necessary to pour 2 buckets of warm water into the tank.
Tips for purchasing bioactivators
It is necessary to select a suitable bioactivator based on the type of septic system and the frequency of its use.
There is no point in buying “Doctor Robik 509” if the sewerage system is installed in the country house and is used only in the warm season. In this case, make a choice in favor of a more budget-friendly bioactivator, for example “Doctor Robik 109”.
You definitely need to pay attention to the quality of the packaging. This will protect you from purchasing a low-quality product. Popular products are often counterfeited. It is advisable to buy biological products in trusted specialized stores that comply with the rules for storing microorganisms.
You cannot purchase drugs that are sold by sellers outdoors during the cold season. Also, you should not buy drugs that are exposed to the sun during the warm season. Temperature fluctuations kill bacteria and reduce their numbers. Which inevitably leads to a lack of effect in cleansing the septic system.

Negative reviews
Before you make a purchase, you need to read reviews about “Doctor Robik 509” for cesspools and septic tanks. According to the owners of private real estate, on the territory of which local treatment facilities are installed, the described composition also has some disadvantages. For example, during frosts the drug works more slowly. When the pit freezes, it is not recommended to use biological agents. Buyers emphasize that the cost of this mixture is higher than universal chemical destructors. However, the price is compensated by the safety of use.
Instructions for use of bacteria
Any biologically active drug needs to be used correctly. If you do not comply, there is a risk that you will not get the expected effect.
If all actions and preparations are carried out correctly, the unpleasant odor will decrease within a few hours. The effect of using the drug can be assessed after a week.
Sequence of preparation of the product
Preparations based on bacteria are produced in the form of liquids and powder mixtures. Using a liquid product is not difficult and does not require special preparation, unlike mixtures. Simply pour the required amount of liquid into the sink or toilet and rinse with warm water.
Powdered products must be handled differently. If you open the package, you can smell the smell of bread bran. This substance is food for bacteria and contains a variety of nutrients.
While the bacteria are in suspended animation (sleep is sleep), they do not need food. But as soon as this substance gets into the water, they wake up and begin to consume feeding. During this period, their active reproduction occurs.
This is what bacteria look like in a state of suspended animation. Large granules visible to the naked eye - bran supplement. Since the content of microorganisms does not exceed 5% of the volume of the entire package, it is necessary to create favorable conditions for them
Before introducing bacterial cultures into a septic tank or reservoir, it must be emptied. Despite their resistance to alkalis, bacteria are sensitive to chlorine and other aggressive disinfectants. These products include chlorine and chlorine-containing cleaning compounds.
If wastewater containing these substances is not pumped out, the introduction of bacteria will not be successful and will lead to the death of microorganisms. The empty tank must be filled with some warm water.
After the bag is unsealed and the septic tank is prepared, the contents must be poured into a bucket of warm water. The volume of the bucket should not exceed ten liters. The density of bacteria should be sufficient for rapid emergence from the dormant state and subsequent use of fertilizing.
The optimal temperature for breeding bacteria is from +5°C to +10°C. At higher temperatures, some types of microorganisms that are sensitive to temperature fluctuations may die.
After use, the container must be washed thoroughly. There is no need to add foreign substances to the water. The contents of one package will be enough
After the microorganisms are placed in an aqueous environment, the container must be placed in a dark place. This is necessary in order to preserve light-sensitive microorganisms.
They are bred to live in conditions where there is no daylight and its presence can negatively affect their life. In addition, it is necessary to observe the temperature regime. Do not keep the container in a room whose temperature is outside the range from +5°C to +20°C. The container must stand for at least 6 hours.
During this time, the release of small gas bubbles should begin. This indicates that the microorganisms were stored in good conditions. In this case, they can be placed in a container or septic tank.
After a few hours, the number of microorganisms will begin to actively multiply. The unpleasant smell of sewage from the sewer will be noticeably reduced. At the same time, the process of cleaning the walls and bottom of the container from grease deposits and other organic residues will begin.
The video shows the process of introducing microorganisms into the drainage pit:
Features and storage methods
To maintain the cleaning effect at the proper level, it is necessary to periodically add bacteria to storage tanks and septic tanks. For powder mixtures, it is necessary to maintain the temperature range from +5°C to +25°C and the integrity of the packaging. It is not recommended to store the product for more than 3 years from the date of manufacture.
Liquid products in plastic canisters must additionally be stored in a dark place, avoiding exposure to sunlight. Since the microorganisms contained in the canister are anaerobic, the lid must be tightly closed.
This will reduce the amount of oxygen and increase shelf life. Just like for bulk mixtures, you need to maintain a temperature range from +5°C to +25°C.
Release form
Products from the series are produced in liquid and powder form. The first option is a ready-to-use activator; it only needs to be diluted with water in the required proportion (indicated on the package).
When dry, spores can be stored for quite a long time, which is convenient. In order to activate dry spores, they are filled with water. It is not recommended to use the drug in dry form, since the activity of the spores is greatly reduced and they act slowly.
Doctor Robik products are produced:
- in powder form. Typically, the addition of water is required to activate powdered bacteria;
- in the form of a liquid concentrate.
A series of biological products, depending on the area of application and active ingredients, is divided into digital designations 109, 209, ..., 809. Let us analyze each product separately.

Reviews from consumers of Dr. Robik's drugs are mostly positive. You can see one of them in the video.
Biological products cope well with various types of pollution in both septic tanks and cesspools. When using this or that product, you must strictly follow the instructions on the packaging.
How to prolong the effect of biological treatment?
Like any other microorganisms, “Doctor Robik” bacteria require special conditions to maintain vital activity and reproduce.
Compliance with a number of rules will improve the efficiency and duration of microorganisms:
- The water level in the septic tank or container must be at least one third of the tank’s volume. Otherwise, there will not be the necessary space for development.
- The temperature regime must be observed. This means that wastewater should not be allowed to freeze. In the case of shallow cesspools, this is inevitable, and therefore in the winter season there will be no effect from the work of microorganisms.
- Do not drain water whose temperature exceeds +60°C. This will lead to the death of microorganisms. The septic tank must be constantly used. Otherwise, the bacteria will not have enough food, which will lead to a reduction in the colony and extinction during prolonged periods of inactivity.
- Do not flush any remaining medications into the septic tank, as microorganisms are not resistant to antibiotics and other agents.
- Frequent use of bleach and other chlorine-containing products should be avoided.
By following these recommendations, you can significantly increase the lifespan of microorganisms, as well as save on pumping wastewater with a sewer machine.
Purified water enriched with minerals can be used for watering plants in a personal plot, since the amount of harmful impurities does not exceed sanitary and epidemiological standards. If there is a cesspool on the site, then the sludge from its bottom will be suitable as organic fertilizer.
What else do you need to know about the product?
The principle of operation of Doctor Robik 509 was described above. This composition refers to specialized products that allow you to process compost and dissolve fossils. In order to enhance the effect of the activator, the cesspool should be cleared of liquid waste. This will help dissolve problematic accumulations and eliminate rotting processes, which quite often occur at the bottom of the storage tank.
After the “Doctor Robik 509” product has been used for the septic tank, and its effect has been completed, it is recommended to pump out the resulting liquid mass, which was formed as a result of the work of the organic destructor. It can be used for watering the soil or fertilizing. This measure is not mandatory for an open cesspool.
Conclusions and useful video on the topic
Practical recommendations for the use of bacteria to clean septic tanks, an effective method of preparing the working staff for launch:
