Perhaps you've seen the Enzyme Packets online or while browsing the Emergency Essentials catalog and wondered what they are and why you need them. These packets contain a USDA authorized blend of active bacteria and enzymes in the form of a dry powder. Enzyme 300, activated by water, is a Salmonella free, non-toxic, non-caustic product that reduces organic solids to liquids, hydrolyzes proteins, sludge volume and suspended solids. It is widely used to break down and deodorize the waste in portable toilets.
You can also use the Enzyme Packets to quickly and easily open clogged or slow drains and for regular drain maintenance. Use it in grease traps, down pipes, porta-toilets, septic tanks, sump pumps and wet wells. Great for home use as well as motels, restaurants, chemical plants, recreational vehicles, schools, marinas, office buildings, meat markets and more!

So the next time you get a clog, try an enzyme treatment! These organic treatments can literally eat away at the clogs. Enzyme treatments are safer for the environment and will not damage your pipes like some of the harsher treatments on the market. So these little packets that are great for emergencies are also great for everyday mini-emergencies! If you feel it's time to spend less time with the plunger, stock up on some Enzyme Packets today!

Jamie, that's a great question. The enzymes are mainly a deodorizer, so essentially you need to add as much as it takes to eliminate odors to your satisfaction. Typically if the toilet has minimal usage (for 1-2 people), a 10-pack of enzyme packets will last a week.

I am also wondering about the maintenance of a porta-pot bucket. Do you use one packet per day? A measured amount per "deposit"? Once a week? I am trying to gauge how much will be needed in a 2-4 week emergency situation without modern conveniences.

Do you use these enzymes with your doodie bags? I'm confused about what to use. Also, I've read that you don't mix #1 with #2, is that true? And, will it matter if I use the doodie bag and/or enzymes? Thanks.

Enzyme Packets are activated by water. If there is water in the sink or bathtub, the Enzyme Packets will be effective. If there is water in the toilet, the Enzymes will work equally well. However, if there is no water in the toilet,sink,etc. you will need to add some water in order for the Enzyme Packets to work properly. Leave the packet and water overnight, and you may consider using two packets in order to deodorize the drains.

I'm trying to figure out exactly how I would use this to help my toilet or sink or bathtub. Would I mix it with water (in the case of the sink and tub) and pour it down? Just sprinkle and flush in the toilet? Wait a few minutes/hours/days before using? I understand the concept, but not how to take practical advantage of it where I might otherwise use a plunger or harsh chemicals.
