Gipex Tabs Flocculant tablets for under-sink settling tanks
Référence: 100916
GipEx Tabs — settling tank flocculant (Hinrichs)
Information & key benefits
Brand: Hinrichs • Use: flocculant for settling tanks
A settling tank protects your drainage by retaining sludge.
GipEx Tabs improves performance: fine particles bind into heavier flocs and settle faster.
- Effective flocculation of fines (plaster, sludge, debris) for faster settling.
- Clearer outlet water: less residue in pipes and fittings.
- Cleaner tank between cleanings: simplified maintenance.
- Compatible with Mestra settling tanks 14 L, 19 L, 70 L and similar models.
Why use a flocculant in a settling tank?
In under-sink tanks, the finest particles can remain suspended longer and reach the outlet.
A flocculant such as GipEx Tabs helps them bind together, become heavier, and settle faster — improving overall sedimentation.
Result: lower clogging risk, a cleaner tank, and more stable drainage in daily use.
Fine particles aggregate and sediment more quickly.
Less residue reaches pipes and siphons.
Reduced sludge carryover and easier cleaning cycles.
For dental labs & heavy-use workshops
Designed for environments with frequent rinsing: plaster, sludge, dust, fine debris.
Ideal to enhance an under-sink settling tank.
Simple, consistent dosing
Typical guideline: 1 tablet per week.
In heavy-use situations, adjust based on water clarity and sediment build-up.
Improved flow stability
By reducing suspended fines, it helps prevent gradual fouling of fittings and drain lines.
You gain reliability and daily comfort.
How to use (quick guide)
- Place 1 tablet in the basket/cage located in the upper compartment of the tank.
- Renew typically every 1–2 weeks (adjust to flow and load).
- Monitor outlet water clarity and sediment level at the bottom.
- Increase frequency in heavy-use environments (e.g. 2 tablets/week).
- Follow local regulations for sludge disposal.
Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact dosage and safety guidance.

FAQ
Is a flocculant mandatory in a settling tank?
No, it is not mandatory.
However, it is strongly recommended when you have many fine particles (plaster, sludge) staying suspended.
Settling becomes faster and more consistent, and the tank clogs less quickly.
Where should I place the GipEx Tabs tablet?
Place the tablet in the upper compartment in a small dedicated basket/cage.
The goal is progressive dissolution away from direct flow.
This keeps the flocculant action stable throughout the week.
What dosage should I use based on activity?
A common baseline is 1 tablet per week.
In heavy-use environments (high flow, frequent rinsing), you can use 2 tablets per week.
Adjust by observing water clarity and the rate of sediment build-up.
Is GipEx Tabs compatible with Mestra 14/19/70 L tanks?
Yes. GipEx Tabs is designed for settling tanks and works well with Mestra 14 L, 19 L and 70 L models.
It also suits most equivalent under-sink tanks, as long as a compartment/basket allows a steady diffusion.
