What you should not do

Proper operation of the Cajunaire starts within the home. Care and concern must be taken in order to receive the full benefits of the Cajunaire. The following is a list of items that should never be introduced into your new Cajunaire System:

1. Garbage disposals should be used sparingly if at all. Remember, this increases the

BOD loading of the waste going into the system.

2. Alcohols from mixed drinks and beer will have an adverse effect on the

unit’s metabolism in large volume.

3. Toilet tablets or toilet deodorants

4. Heavy paper products

5. Latex condoms

6. Plastic products

7. Metals

8. Hair

9. Bandages

10. Coffee grounds

11. Shrimp and egg shells

12. Female products

13. Rid X

14. Drain O and Liquid Plumber

15. Discharge from water softeners

16. Oil, Grease, and Fats

17. Diapers and baby wipes

18. Bleaches and liquid fabric softeners

19. Ammonia and harsh chemicals

20. Rust, Lime, and Calcium removers

Cleaners and disinfectants can be used as long as the manufacturers’ instructions are observed. It is not a good idea to use powdered detergents in wash water as they contain products that may potentially clog up parts of the system. Tide and Cheer contain chemicals too strong for use with the Cajunaire System and should be avoided where possible. System owners should be prepared to monitor the unit for signs of malfunction.
