Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long will Does Pit Latrine Digester take to reduce the level of my pit latrine?
Depending on the amount of waste and the contents in the pit, a reduction in the level of waste can be seen within the first week. In most cases, a significant reduction is seen between 2 to 4 weeks after the first application of the shock treatment. Please remember that the shock and maintenance treatment needs to be followed through completely for the best results. Do not throw any nappies, rubbish or plastic bottles into the pit, as these cannot be broken down – it is meant to break down human waste.
-
Should Pit Latrine Digester be mixed with water?
Yes, if the pit latrine is dry on the inside, mix the contents of a sachet of Pit Latrine Digester with water and pour evenly across the surface of the pit.
