I have a weekend getaway in Upstate NY. I had noticed a horrible smell coming from the septic pipe on my roof. ...at night I could hardly sit on my deck without gagging. I researched the internet and found the Odorhog website. I wasn't too sure about the product at first, but... I decided to take the plunge. I ordered the filtered pipe, but ordered the wrong size. I phoned right away and they were gracious enough to send an extension to fit from a 4" to 3" pipe at NO CHARGE. The minute the pipe was fitted onto the septic pipe, the smell went away. It has been over 2 weeks and the smell is still gone. I am SO excited that there is a product out there that deals with stinky spectic pipe odors. THANKS AGAIN.
