InSinkErator CG Evolution Septic Assist Bio Charge Replacement Cartridge, 16-Ounces, Blue, 12 Ounce

It works fine

UPDATE: After almost 2 years, we had a septic pumped this a.m. No problems re fat/grease or anything else that could be attributed to a disposal. In fact, there was a problem w too much liquid in the tank. The septic man said it would rectified by rinsing the septic filters every 6 mos. SO I say the InSinkerator passes muster! Definitely keeping the 5 star rating. The only thing that I wonder about is that the BioCharge does not go down very much and we've had same bottle in for 4 mos+. We replaced the one before it because I thought there might be something wrong w the container since that one was going down at such a slow rate, too. Anyone else have this same experience w BioCharge? It seems to be adding just it needs to dissolve or act on the fats/solids though because, as I said, there was no problem reported, and it had been TWO years since we last pumped.When we remodeled our kitchen a year ago we had the Insinkerator Evolution Septic Assist installed. We had lived 20 years without a disposal because of being on a septic system. Unfortunately, we did not read the instructions to the disposal and did not realize we had to replace the BioCharge - I didn't even know there was anything to replace. So last week we ended up on a Saturday having to call the septic pump people because of a clog in the pipe. The guy showed me all the grease and food gunk causing the problem and said a disposal cannot be used w a septic system So we decided we'd been sold a bill of goods and were not going to use the disposal anymore. Then, I thought I might as well look at the instructions for the heck of it and now have ended up here. After reading the positive reviews of other septic system homeowners, I am ordering 4 BioCharges, with plans to use them over the year, then have the septic yearly pump-out and see the results. 'Sure don't want to end up having to pay $500 to get unclogged again.I will post again after the year has passed with the outcome.A question: I was wondering if you who have had good experience follow the directions exactly on putting the food into the disposal - ie running cold water first, then slowly feeding food in, then running more cold water, etc?PS Because I had to rate this to submit my review, I gave it a 5* based on others reviews w similar situations to mine.

Works as describe

If your InSinkErator has a septic assist charge, then you need these. This is the exact same part as the original that came with our garbage disposal.

Product is fine - packaging might need review

Perfect replacement, fit, works as supposed to

When we moved into our house 17 years ago, we learned we had a garbage disposal that used this. 7 years ago we replaced the disposal with a new InSinkErator. We have consistently used Bio Charge and also a monthly tank treatment and have had NO problems with our septic tank. We have not had it pumped since RIGHT before me moved in. We aren't stupid and do not put grease and stuff down the drain, but I believe the BioCharge and monthly treatments have kept our tank in optimal working order!

I've been using the Evolution Spetic Assist disposal since 2013. I can't testify as to the actual efficacy of the bio charge's ability to help decompose stuff in the septic tank because I have no way of knowing what is going on in there. Suffice it to say I haven't had any problems with my septic tank, so I assume it's doing its job fine.I decided to write this review to point out that it's very easy to install this cartridge incorrectly and that you have to push the cartridge all the way in to the unit to hear TWO clicks. You have to make sure you hear that second click. Otherwise, the liquid will not dispense and even worse the cartridge may just fall out of the unit.Another way to do it is to press and hold the button down while you push the cartridge upwards (this is what the instruction manual suggests). If you do it this way, you will only hear the second click. Either way, you have to make sure that the cartridge is all the way up there with no gap between the unit and the cartridge.I replaced my last cartridge over a few months ago but noticed that the liquid had not been dispensed at all since the installation. Today I discovered that the cartridge was not installed correctly and finally figured out what was wrong.

Works great.

It is great to have a product that requires little maintenance and to have the confidence that your system is being maintained. Is there anything worse than working on a Septic System that has gone south?
