FIND YOUR DOSE

How many tubs do you need?

Match your home’s bathroom count to the right supply.

BATHROOMS TUBS NEEDED SUPPLY DURATION
1–2 bathrooms 1 tub 3-month supply
3–4 bathrooms 2 tubs 3-month supply
5+ bathrooms 3 tubs 3-month supply

When in doubt, round up. Extra bacteria never hurt a septic system.

Larger sizes for bigger homes coming soon.

  • Most homes use 1–3 scoops per month.
  • One jar lasts most homes several months.
  • Use one level scoop per toilet, once a month.

If this feels simple, that’s the point. Your system already knows what to do — Maintane just supports it.

BEST PRACTICES

Get the most out of every tub.

Five things every Maintane user should know.

01

Dose the same day every month — pick a date and set a reminder.

02

Avoid antibacterial cleaners, bleach, or drain chemicals on dosing day — they kill the bacteria before they establish.

03

If your system has been neglected or has strong odors, dose twice in the first month then return to monthly.

04

Store your tub in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

05

Maintane works in conventional septic systems, aerobic systems, cesspools, and RV holding tanks.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Dosing FAQs.

The ones that come up most often.

Can I use Maintane if I’m on city sewer?

Maintane is designed for septic systems. It won’t harm city sewer lines but it’s most effective in septic environments where bacteria need to thrive.

What if I miss a month?

Just dose as soon as you remember. Missing one month won’t crash your system but consistency is what builds a healthy bacterial ecosystem.

Is it safe if my kids or pets touch the toilet water?

Yes. Maintane contains only biosafety level 1 bacteria and table salt — the same safety classification used in research labs. Non-toxic and non-pathogenic.

Can I use Maintane down sinks or my garbage disposal?

Yes. While we recommend starting with your toilet — the most direct route to your septic tank — Maintane can be added to any drain in your home. Pour a scoop down a sink, shower, or garbage disposal and the live bacteria will travel through your drain lines and get to work on buildup along the way. If you’re dealing with a slow drain or odor coming from a specific fixture, that’s a great place to treat directly.

How long until I see results?

Most customers notice reduced odors within 24–72 hours. Full ecosystem establishment takes 30–90 days of consistent monthly use.

READY WHEN YOU ARE

One scoop. Once a month. That’s the whole routine.
