Role of bacteria and why Eco Tabs™ tablets
are so effective:

Bacteria can facilitate bioremediation by feeding on excess nutrients that pollute the environment. These excess nutrients are usually present due to human activities (agriculture, sewage, industrial waste, etc…). Pollution of aquatic ecosystems can result in overgrowth of some organisms like algae that negatively impact the oxygen availability in the ecosystem. When oxygen is limited growth of beneficial bacteria is also limited. Therefore, actions must be taken to jump-start the process of bacteria facilitated bioremediation.

Eco Tabs™ tablets are effective because they contain beneficial bacteria that feed on and remove excess nutrients from the environment. In addition, the tabs contain a custom blend of inorganic components that promote bacterial activity. The combination of the beneficial bacteria, inorganic components, and the patent-pending Microdot Separation Technology™ (MST) provide the right combination of environmental conditions that jump-start the bioremediation process. The combination of these factors is what makes Eco Tabs™.

Bacteria, Enzymes or Chemicals?

Bacteria are living cells with the ability to reproduce.  Bacteria are the cleaning factories that nature uses to remove pollutants.

Bacteria consume waste materials and convert it into safe by-products like carbon dioxide and water.

When the waste materials are very complex (such as pond sludge), Bacteria produce enzymes to break it down into simple compounds that the bacteria can digest.

Bacteria contained in Eco Tabs are 100% natural, safe and non-pathogenic and are not genetically engineered or altered in any way.

Enzymes are NOT alive and cannot reproduce.  They are complex chemicals produced by bacteria.

Enzymes are not capable of consuming waste materials, all that they do is convert complex wastes into simple wastes.

Enzymes alone are not sufficient, bacteria are still needed to consume the waste material.  An enzyme product only has half the tools necessary to get the job done right!

Enzymes are not necessarily bad for the environment, but they do not have the advantages that bacteria provide.

Enzymes cannot help in removing pollutants and therefore have very limited benefits.

Chemicals are NOT alive and cannot reproduce.  They can be used to mimic the properties of bacteria or enzymes, but they are mostly environmentally UNFRIENDLY and inefficient.

Chemicals can oxidize sludge and ammonia, but generally only harsh and dangerous chemicals accomplish this.  Less hazardous chemicals are generally not affective.  Chemicals have considerable toxicity issues and are likely to harm fish, wildlife and the general pond health.

Chemicals are hazardous to the environment, and they do not have the advantages that the bacteria provide.  Chemicals are simply not environmentally and ecologically friendly.

How does bacteria replicate?

Bacteria typically reproduce via a process called “Binary Fission”. In this process the original cell is called the parent cell. The parent cell duplicates its internal component, including the genetic material (DNA), and then divides to form two daughter cells. The daughter cells are clones of the parent cell. The daughter cells then continue to grow and divide to produce more cells. If conditions are favourable the bacteria will continue to increase in population size.
