How Digestco Gets Installed — and How We Know It Works

From the metering pump on the wall to the third-party lab results, here’s exactly what an installation looks like and what independent testing has actually shown.

Installation

A Simple, Automated Dosing System

GreaseBuster® can be applied by hand — poured directly into a sink, toilet, or floor drain — but most commercial sites use an automated metering pump for consistent, hands-off dosing.

01

Mount the Pump

The metering pump is wall-mounted near the injection point and liquid supply, using a metal mounting bracket for a clean, permanent install.

02

Connect the Feed Line

A chemical feed line runs from the GreaseBuster® supply container to the pump, with a standpipe ensuring consistent uptake without forming a seal against the container.

03

Program the Dosing Schedule

The pump is set to dose automatically on a fixed schedule — daily dosing of as little as 4 oz (120 mL) is typically all that’s needed to protect a line.

GreaseBuster dosing pump installation: pot sink through grease trap to sewer
GreaseBuster® Install — Sink to Sewer

The typical commercial kitchen setup: a wall-mounted dosing pump feeds GreaseBuster® concentrate directly into the line at the pot sink, treating wastewater continuously through the grease trap, floor drain, and out to the sewer.

Accelerate dosing pump installation: wastewater stream to sewer main and lift station
Accelerate® Install — Sewer Main & Lift Station

For larger infrastructure, Accelerate® is dosed directly into the wastewater stream at a fixed application point, with its beneficial bacteria continuing to work downstream through sewer mains and lift stations.

Equipment

Two Dosing Systems, Built for Reliability

Depending on the site, we install either our own field-proven GBMP1 pump or the programmable DR-2000 for more complex scheduling needs.

The Science, In Plain Terms

Why Resident Bacteria — Not Additives

Digestco’s products are made from vegetable extracts that create a high-energy carbohydrate source. When consumed by the bacteria already present in your system, it drives a population increase — not a foreign species introduced from outside.

That’s the core difference from enzyme or bacterial-additive products, which lose effectiveness with distance from the application point and don’t persist in the environment.

Why not just use enzymes or bacterial additives?
Enzymes are a catalyst, not a population — if there aren’t enough bacteria already present, the enzyme is wasted. Bacterial additives are foreign organisms that don’t survive long in a hostile environment and don’t propagate fast enough to become resident.
Where should it be applied?
Any location with excess solids that are difficult to remove — sewer mains, lift station wet wells, lagoons, and grease traps — or anywhere that needs a faster rate of digestion.
