Septic systems rely on a healthy level of bacteria and enzymes in the system to break down household waste. Zep Commercial Septi-Pak Concentrated Septic System Treatment replenishes bacteria that common cleaners kill. Monthly treatment helps to prevent system backups and stop unpleasant odors. Simply drop one pouch in the toilet and flush.

It is a bit tough to comment on the total results of this type of product, as it is used in septic systems. The good thing is, that I have had to septic problems since I used it one month ago.
Pros were: Easy to use, just drop the entire packet into the toilet, wait 2 minutes for the product to dissolve, then flush a couple of times. How easy!
The only "con" was that the instructions stated to wait a couple of minutes for the product to dissolve. I had to wait about 5-7 minutes, before the packet was dissolved enough to flush.
Pros: Easy to Use, High Quality, Easy to Install
Yes, I recommend this product.

The days of multiple applications to kill weeds and grasses are over. Just one application of Bayer Advanced Durazone Weed and Grass Killer kills existing weeds and grasses PLUS prevents new ones for up to 6 months. Apply it to the entire zone you want protected against weeds, not just the emerged weeds-creating a weed prevention barrier that continues working for up to 6 months so you don't have to. Controlling weeds in your landscape has never been easier.

In the past I've used 2 other major brands of vegetation killer which have worked "so-so".
I purchased a different Bayer product last year for aphids, and it worked wonders. Based on that, I thought I'd try Bayer's Grass and Weed Killer.
Once again, the Bayer product took first prize!. The built in applicator, ease of use, and strength were fantastic!
It worked flawlessly, quickly, and is a good value.
(and I thought they only made aspirin's?) :-)
Pros: Multi Use, Easy to Install, Functionality, Strong, Great Quality
Yes, I recommend this product.

From homeowners to contractors a product that FINALLY does it all!
Simply dilute this product with water - according to your cleaning task. The instructions show how to dilute, and with the dilution spray bottle included - it's a great purchase!
My wife used it for laundry, home cleaning,...floors, walls, windows, appliances, vehicle cleaning and much more.
I use it for tough stains, degreasing, garage work, GREAT for cleaning those white ceiling tiles!
NEVER a disappointment with the results,
A very safe and effective biodegradable product that leaves a clean scent after clean up. I cant say enough good things about it.
This purchase is a "No-Brainer"
Pros: Great Scent, Immediate Results, Cost Effective, Easy to Use, High Quality, Fast Results, Packaging, Long-Lasting, Effective
Yes, I recommend this product.

The Rotozip ZipSaw is ergonomically designed for more accurate cutting, integrating the best features of an angle grinder and a flush cut saw into one tool. With input from remodelers and tile installers, Rotozip‚ optimized the ergonomics for cutting rather than grinding. Whether its straight cuts, curves, or notched cuts, the ZipSaw delivers a fast cut with better accuracy than traditional tools. An advanced guarding system and built-in dust collection greatly reduces airborne dust without compromising control or visibility. Using Rotozip Xwheels, The ZipSaw can even flush cut in a variety of materials including tile, wood, or metal.

Will this heater work when the power is out

I'm looking for a water heater that will work when there is no power. Live in hurricane area and would like to have a water heater that can be manually lit when needed.
Yes, this water heater requires no electrical support to function normally.

Delivery within 7-10 days by a local John Deere representative. At Delivery the customer will be taught by John Deere how to operate and maintain the mower. The John Deere 48 in. 22 HP Hydrostatic Front-Engine Riding Mower features a V-twin engine with overhead valve design for powerful performance and yet efficient fuel economy. Hydrostatic automatic transmission and 2 foot control pedals allow you to set your own pace while moving forward and reverse. The Edge Cutting System (deck) offers a smooth underside to prevent grass buildup, and the deep deck design lifts grass for a better cut.
 

If I purchase a Lawn Mower from Home Depot where do i take it under warranty for service if I need to?

Any authorized John Deere Service Center- There are plenty listed in the phone book

Will this product harm shrubs, trees and palm trees?

The manufacturer recommends NOT to spray this product on (near) desirable plants/vegetation.

I accidently got some overspray on a Mum plant once, and the product did what it was supposed to do. Killed it!

(my fault)

Hope this helps!

Does this product require an expansion tank for it run properly?

Your question is a good one!

An Expansion Tank is usually not REQUIRED to install this product.

HOWEVER- Local laws/building ordinances for your community will dictate if an expansion tank must be installed.

If you're doing the replacement yourself, check the local codes for water heater replacement. If you're having it done by a professional, they will tell you if the expansion tank is necessary for your area.

Hope this helps!

Does it have a glass lining

GuardDude;

Excellent Question, since the specs list nothing about the type of lining, even on the GE website.!

That being the case, I spoke to GE directly and their technician advised me that this tank has a PORCELAIN AND GLASS MIXTURE for a lining. I hope in doing that it made the liner stronger and a bit less fragile.

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Mark

Can this be adapted to propane, and what would be the cost?

It is not recommended, but there are conversion kits available to do so. Plan on about 60-80 bucks for the conversion kit, plus any additional plumbing, venting, expenses. Take a look at some of the LP GAS water heaters offered by Home Depot, and decide if buying a conversion kit is worth it.

How can the water heater be 14.5" tall? Go back and re-read the original question.

There are many "Point-Of-Use" Water Heaters. Something that supplies immediate hot water at the source where it was installed, - and definately not for an entire home or building.

Is this unit pretty much plug and play with regard to replacing a State unit?

My State unit has went out after 17+ years. With this being my first replacement, I'm not sure if it's as simple as swapping in this unit for the old one or if other piping and adapters will be necessary. The height for both units is identical.
If you are sure that the height is exactly the same as your old heater, then the majority of the time, you may get lucky and not have to replace any parts UNLESS - some of the piping, or unions going into the old heater may have been clogged up due to sediment or corrosion in the pipe. (Is it copper pipe or galvanized steel?) After 17 years of service, this is highly possible.

Even if the heights between the heaters are 1/2 inch off, plan on spending a few bucks for adjustments (parts/modifications) not only to water pipes, venting, but also to the gas feed pipe to the heater
