FAQ

URIZAPis a powder-based, microbial solution that digests uric acid, removing the cause of urinal blockages and odours. This product is available in a 2kg tub, which contains 80 doses.

URIZAP is used in any type of urinal: waterless urinals, flushing urinals and troughs. It breaks down uric acid, therefore, removing the issues of blockages and odours. Regular use of URIZAP maintains a free-flowing, odourless urinal and prevents the recurrence of issues.

Each scoop of URIZAP contains billions of beneficial bacteria that naturally break down uric acid forming in the pipework.

Uric acid is contained in urine and reacts with other minerals in water (e.g., limescale, struvite) and proteins to form uric scale deposits. By digesting uric acid, the deposits of uric scale that cause blockages and odour are eliminated.

Each 2kg tub contains 80 scoops of product. For the first four weeks (shock phase), each urinal needs to be double-dosed, twice a week to allow the bacteria to colonise the pipes and get to work. After that, you move onto a maintenance phase which requires one scoop per urinal, per week. One tub is sufficient to service 4 urinals for six weeks.

URIZAP is simple to administer, all you do is pour one scoop, followed by some cold water down the drain to wake up the bacteria and allow them to get to work. Check out this video that shows you how to use URIZAP.   

URIZAP can only be used in urinals, but we have designed SLUDGEZAP to remove blockages and build-up in toilets and other drains.

Avoid pouring any chemicals in any of the urinals that are being treated with URIZAP. The surfaces of the urinals can be cleaned with any washroom product but we suggest bio-based and eco-friendly products that do not contain biocides or hazardous chemicals for aquatic life. The best compatibility is to use URIZAP along with our washroom products (launching soon). It works well with SLUDGEZAP which digests organic build-up impacting toilets, sinks, showers and baths.

It depends on your blockage, but most customers notice a drastic decrease in smell within two weeks and a significant decrease in the build-up by week four. By six weeks blockages are virtually gone and regular use of URIZAP ensures it remains this way.

There are numerous benefits to using URIZAP. These include reducing the amount of flushing, no use of hazardous chemicals, saving money on repairs and reducing CO₂. See the full list here.

SLUDGEZAP is a powder-based, microbial solution that digests organic build-up in pipework, removing the cause of blockages and odours. This product is available in a 2kg tub, 250g soluble sachets and 30g soluble sachets.

You can use SLUDGEZAP in toilets, bathroom sinks, kitchen sinks, showers, soil stacks, baths, sluices, and associated pipework.

SLUDGEZAP is simple to administer, all you do is pour one scoop, followed by some cold water down the drain to wake up the bacteria and allow them to get to work. Check out this video that shows you how to use SLUDGEZAP.   

The billions of bacteria that are in each scoop are carefully formulated to remove organic build-up (e.g., grease, fats, starches, vegetable/fruit waste, human waste) causing blockages and foul odours.

Unfortunately, it does not. However, it dissolves organic waste that glues hair together enabling hair to slide down the drain, avoiding blockages. Hair is composed of very stable proteins that cannot be digested by the bacteria in SLUDGEZAP. However, we are working to develop a product that will do that in the future.

Do not pour any sanitising or antibacterial products, or their residues used in kitchen cleaning protocols down the sink as it will kill the bacteria. Sanitisation can be done on the surfaces of the kitchens. For the ultimate kitchen powerhouse, pair SLUDGEZAP with FOGZAP to eliminate FOGs in grease traps and kitchen sinks, and stop them from re-congealing downstream.  

In the bathroom, SLUDGEZAP works alongside URIZAP. The surfaces of the urinals can be cleaned with any washroom product, but we suggest bio-based and eco-friendly products that do not contain biocides or hazardous chemicals for aquatic life. The best compatibility is to use URIZAP along with our washroom products (coming soon).

Each 2kg tub contains 80 scoops of product. For the first four weeks (shock phase), each asset needs to be double-dosed, twice a week to allow the bacteria to colonise the pipes and get to work. After that, you move onto a maintenance phase which requires one scoop per asset, per week. One tub is sufficient to service 4 assets for six weeks.

Yes, please contact our specialists to discuss the dosing regime.

It depends on your blockage, but most customers notice a drastic decrease in smell within two weeks and a significant shift in the build-up by week four. By eight weeks blockages are virtually gone and regular use of SLUDGEZAP ensures it remains this way.

You don’t have to, but it does help increase the efficacy of the product. The tundish is the best spot to dose when adding SLUDGEZAP to your soil stack. Add a scoop with a small amount of water to help maximise the colonisation of bacteria in your pipework.

FOGZAP is a powder-based, microbial solution that digests fats, oil and greases (FOGs) in kitchen waste systems, including grease traps, grease pits and wet wells. This product is available in a 250g soluble sachets and 30g soluble sachets.

FOGZAP can be used in grease traps, grease pits, wet wells, lift and pump stations and wastewater treatment plants.

FOGZAP contains beneficial bacteria that digest FOGs, safely removing the build-up of Fats, Oils and Grease (FOGs) in grease traps and pits to reduce the build-up of FOGs, reducing the frequency of tank replacement.

There are numerous benefits to using FOGZAP. These include reducing CO₂ , reducing the frequency of tank replacement, enhancing safety in removing FOGS and maintaining infrastructure integrity. See the full list here.

For the ultimate kitchen powerhouse, pair FOGZAP with SLUDGEZAP to eliminate organic build-up and FOGs in kitchen sinks, and stop them from re-congealing downstream.  

Avoid sanitisation, biocidal, and antimicrobial substances. It is important to dilute or minimize the amount of detergent, surfactant and soap in the systems as they will counteract the activity of bacteria. Do not use inorganic acid, caustic soda, bleach, and any other harsh chemicals. Please contact customer support if needed.

You may not be using enough product or your asset might not be the correct size for your needs. Please get in touch to speak to one of our experts.

Depending on the size of the asset, and adherence to the dosing regime, it takes about eight weeks to see a decrease in FOGs. By week 14, you will see a significant decrease in FOG layers.

It depends on the size and volume of your asset, but we usually recommend one 250g sachet per week.

Bacteria are living microorganisms that exist almost everywhere on Earth! They only contain one cell and are vital to our global ecosystem. Some live in extreme conditions of pH, temperature and pressure. Our bodies are full of bacteria.

Bacteria are living organisms that produce non-living proteins known as enzymes, which break down waste into smaller pieces. After they've finished their work, they die. Bacteria, on the other hand, live longer, continuing to multiply and produce more enzymes.

Bacteria produce a diverse range of effects depending on what they require to do to survive. Most of these bacteria are harmless to humans and animals, in fact, they’re beneficial helping to solve problems (like the ones used in our products, or helping us digest food. However, there are a small number of species of bacteria that can cause diseases such as Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).

Yes, all of our products contain non-pathogenic bacteria (good bacteria), which are non-toxic and safe for daily use. Better still, our products are not tested on animals and are not harmful to animals and aquatic life.

We recommend avoiding contact with food. If this happens, any small amount of product digested should NOT cause a negative effect on human health. However, if possible, wash thoroughly or do not consume, since the taste will be altered by the substances in our products.

Bacteria used in ABS’ products occur naturally and tackle specific problems as they will use the waste we produce to feed themselves and grow and live. ABS’ bacteria will specifically consume only the substance we aim the product to be used for and they can continuously work 24/7 for you, making it more effective than traditional solutions that require continuous top-ups.

It's an environmentally friendly solution that helps business further their sustainability initiatives. Our products regenerate natural systems, helping to restore and protect ecosystems.
