Keep lawns and outdoor play areas cleaner with this in-ground pet waste digester designed for convenient backyard disposal. The underground unit uses a leach-bed style process where pet waste breaks down inside the buried chamber and gradually disperses into surrounding soil. Installation requires digging a hole approximately 48 inches deep and about 8 inches wide using a post hole digger or garden shovel. The unit measures about 15 inches across the top and installs so the lid sits level with the ground surface. Simply add pet waste along with water and digester tablets as needed to support the natural breakdown process. For best results, add approximately 1 gallon (4 liters) of water each time waste is added to help move material through the system, and begin initial setup by adding about 5 gallons (19 liters) of water with the starter tablets. The system includes a digester supply that can last up to 6 months depending on usage. The durable high-impact plastic tank is built for long-term outdoor placement and features a foot-operated lid opener for convenient hands-free access during cleanup. Designed for homes with one large dog or up to two small dogs, this system provides a centralized location for routine backyard waste disposal. Some assembly is required before installation, and it performs best in most soil conditions except hard clay or heavy sand.
