It's not a good idea to put Dawn dish soap in your black tank. Dish soap can build up in the tank and cause clogs. It's also not biodegradable, so it can pollute the environment.
You can, but it is not recommended. Pine Sol is not biodegradable and can potentially damage your RV's septic system.
Yes, CLR can be used in your RV's black tank. CLR is a powerful cleaning agent that can help to remove stubborn buildup and stains. However, it is important to use CLR carefully and according to the manufacturer's instructions, as it can damage some surfaces if used improperly. When using CLR in your RV's black tank, be sure to wear gloves and protective eyewear, and ventilate the area well to avoid inhaling fumes.
If you have a septic tank on your RV, you should not put bleach in it. Bleach can damage the septic tank and the RV's plumbing.

You can purchase all the "green" enzymes you want, but Aqua Kem's recipe is unrivaled. Since I've been RVing for over 33 years, I've tried a number of "earth" friendly products without any gratifying results. I just purchased a rival tank deodorizer/waste digester at Walmart because I neglected to keep an eye on my Aqua-Kem supply and I was leaving that day to go camping. This purchase was made just two months ago. Big mistake! To prevent the smells from forcing us out of the coach, I used an entire gallon of it. About four to six times as much as I typically require for A-K.Since the shipping for two gallons was equal to that of one, I advise you to do so. I took that action. I apologize, but I can't recall the vendor's name. However, they were excellent, and I received it in two days. After taxes and shipping were taken into account, they were around $5.00 cheaper than Camping World. When I can have stuff delivered to my door for cheaper money and without having to use petrol, why would I drive the 25 miles to CW?

On the weekend, we got the chance to use these in our RV and discovered they were simple and efficient.Reading some of the customer reviews for this and other similar goods has taught me a better method. After I dump, I'll add one of these and a gallon or two of water. The best time for us is right after we dump and right before we clean up and bring the RV back to where we store it. The short drive's gosling about is perfect for spreading the chemical and thoroughly sprinkling it all over the black water tank.It makes more sense to me now that I know that odor might develop as a result of the tank drying up because it was recently pretty strong when I picked up the trailer from storage (and it had been flushed before storage).In general, I find it simpler to use the "Pak" than the liquid, and the aroma is more pleasant.

The greatest material ever! I am incredibly appreciative of the feedback people offer since it makes me feel less risky when I try new things. In our brand-new RV, scents were a major issue for us. Gross. Absolutely the worst odor imaginable. I actually choked. particularly following three days of family camping. We rely on recommendations for items or methods because we are new proprietors. Some have been more helpful than others, so it's been hit or miss. Later, I came upon this review on a camper's website. I wasn't sure if I should believe a product with such a straightforward name, but after reading so many positive reviews here, I reluctantly reasoned, "Oh, why not...try one more?" It was exhausting trying so many different products and flushing so much cash down the toilet.To my astonishment, after using it for the first time and attentively following the straightforward instructions on the label, I went back to the restroom, flushed, and what do you know? After waiting for a couple of hours. Nothing at all smells! None. No chemical odor at all. The soap on the sink counter was the only thing I could smell. What a relief, though! I'm currently purchasing another bottle on the Amazon website.com. Actually, I have to order goods whenever we'll be at a campsite long enough to get my mail because we now live in our RV full-time. I will thus stock up this time. avoiding running out!Save your money and avoid buying those tiny green, purple, and yellow packages. I gave them all a shot. Each failed. Additionally, nobody separated the trash. We now hear the sound of flowing liquids as we clean out our tank. Zero clogs. Oh, and the outside is also smell-free. That was a pleasant extra.

I've worked in the energy industry for decades and have always had to travel. However, until I recently bought a one-year-old fifth wheel, I never experienced any issues. The unit is practically new. It is clear from the buildup that the previous owner did not properly dispose of trash. I therefore decided I would try to assist others by sharing what I found to work in this circumstance.According to the MSDS (material safety data sheet), Happy Campers is made up of unidentified minerals and zinc salts. I found it to be quite effective in cleaning the black tank. applying the product as directed. They also produce a strong cleanser for extremely critical issues.to maintain flawless operation of your sensors and black tank. Here is what has never failed me and might might work for you.Recognize that water is your holding tanks' best buddy. The rest is just plain sense. Every time I empty my tanks, I grab a regular 5 gallon bucket and fill it close to the top with water. Next, add 5 to 6 ounces of Dawn dishwashing liquid. If the location where you are has an issue with hard water. Calgon water softener should be added in a cup. If not available, use regular Borax. Pour directly into the bathroom. your "new" tank to start. You are giving your tank a head start by doing this, which only takes a few minutes. The Calgon and dishwashing soap keep the tank walls smooth and the sensors clean and functioning properly. You're set to go after you combine the Happy Camper with water in the bowl and flush.To clean your sensors and clean your tanks, it could take 2-3 regular cycles of dumping for a tank with a lot of silt. All solid trash and toilet paper are nearly liquefied by Happy Campers' product. I've never used a holding tank product that performs this well. This easy-to-follow strategy I'm outlining has shown to be quite effective for both myself and a large number of people I know. I swear to you. People only need to experience black tank issues once before they become genuinely interested in holding tank maintenance! Lol1. Only dump when tanks are at least 2/3 full. In an effort to fill mine as much as possible, I occasionally add pure, old tap water before dumping. More water will always assist move any sediments, without a doubt.2. Using this procedure, there have been no scents of any kind.3. You can follow these directions with whatever brand of toilet tissue you like. Everything is truly liquefied by it!4. Has performed for me and my pals in all climes with temps below zero and above 110 degrees.5. I believe you'll be pleased with the outcome, and if you have the opportunity, please share it with other RVers.6. It may take a few cycles for sensors to start reading correctly and to be sufficiently clean to read correctly, but it will happen. I'm hoping that other people can benefit from my experiences. Enjoy your day.

Fresh "NEW" Lavender Scent

I got mine a few days after I placed the order. In order to compare, I also ordered the pine scent. I only have access to the blue "fresh scent" around here, so I wanted something new and perhaps even more potent.I don't detect any pine scent in the green pine packets. However, the aroma of lavender is quite lavender! And the smell is fairly accurate and true to the original. There isn't a scent applied to cover up a chemically weird stench. (I think like the pine.My horse trailer's pipes are no longer offensive! Just so you know, if you open up the pack to treat the grey tank pipes like I did, the lavender has a very potent scent. Just in case any of the filth I was smelling originated there. (I needed treatment badly and ran out of the blue substance from the RV supply store.) What a development.I won't have to feel uncomfortable if someone needs to use my restroom or shower this weekend at the poker ride thanks to this.

There isn't enough singing and dancing in the world to convey how much relief it feels to get rid of that odder! We were unaware that the sink required the same care as the toilet. The grey tanks were left open while the black tank was filled with pellets. Then it occurred one day. The odor that destroyed Tokyo! fumes that are stomach-churning and migraine-inducing will make you never want to approach an RV again. We tried placing the pellets down and closed the grey tank. That barely made a dent in the fumes. Then I discovered this item. We just need 4 ounces for our 40 gallon tank. But after doing it twice the first two times, BANG BABY! After the first usage, the scent was almost totally gone, and it was gone after the second. I now only consume 4 ounces per serving. I adore our RV once more.

fantastic stuff I heartily endorse it. Order is well managed, and everything is converted to liquid for draining without the use of chemicals that can't be eliminated throughout the sewage treatment process. We had a few small odor problems at first, but we've now learned that with any cleaner, the fans sucking air out of the camper will also be sucking air out of the toilet into the camper. We also discovered that when flushing, the Thetford toilet had a useful sealing function. Therefore, in addition to using this product or any other product, make sure to switch off any exhaust fans and close the lid when flushing. IFor a maximum of five to seven days before emptying the tank, it seems to work effectively. Use Porta-Pak, a chemical-based product, if temps are 95 or above for several days.A final word about the application of cleaning solutions and bio-pad: The enzyme that serves as the foundation for this product will be destroyed by goods containing bleach and numerous other chemicals. Since I use Green Works, this seems to be quite amiable. Just before I crap, I clean the toilet with various things. I think some of the negative reviews might be related to this problem. Utilize comparable cleaners if you're not intending to use "chemical" bast ants.The majority of commercially available additives will lessen the smell of raw sewage, but none will make it smell like a flower garden. This product works well and won't need to be taken out during sewage treatment. (In most circumstances, they are simply diluted; they are not removed.) It won't even damage septic systems.(A last observation: When discussing scented products with manufacturers, they point out that the scents are for the customers when they open the package. When the product is placed in the tank, the odors are completely erased.)

My major has only a little "belly." A gallon or so of water never drains completely. After inspecting it, a plumber showed me. Debris tends to accumulate and pile up in the "belly," clogging the main entirely. The main needs to be augured at that point. Approximately once a year, this occurred. It would take tens of thousands of dollars to repair this by tearing into the foundation or by rerouting. This might be required eventually, but for the time being, the slightly sagging main isn't posing any further issues.Utilizing an enzyme product was suggested by a plumber. I converted to this after purchasing his for more over $40 a gallon. At the location that is the farthest from my outside clean-outs, I use 4 ounces flushed down a toilet. To give the product at least six hours to work, I do this around twice a month and at night. Keep in mind that this is a maintenance item. If your drain is entirely blocked, it will need to be augured or you'll need to use a specialized drain opener, most likely one that uses lye. I changed to Scotts Rapid Dissolve TP as well. I haven't needed to have the main augured in almost three years (edit, 07/03/2019: 5 years and counting, thank goodness).Fantastic maintenance item that helps avoid bigger issues. The smell is my only complaint. An unscented variant would be wonderful. The aroma does not enter the house after being flushed, though. It's ideal for locating specific types of leaks since if it did, this would be a sign of another issue. Additionally, it is environmentally friendly and safe to use. really content and devoted client.

I've used a variety of holding tank treatments, including liquids and packs, but recent packs haven't worked as well. I'm in a campground, and someone there advised I try these. I firmly believe it now! the greatest of all I've tried so far for breaking down solids and paper. Odor control is adequate, however I must admit that in warmer weather I must use a "other pack" while still using these for waste decomposition.Finding out quickly why "seasoned campers" consider the name Camco to be so outstanding. because it's a business that creates fantastic things!!

I just finished utilizing RV digest-it to do my first dump. The tank was totally empty and the dump went off without a hitch. I purchased this item since our travel trailer had a full black tank that wasn't entirely discharging when we purchased it (thanks a lot dealership). To get things flowing and to break things down, I had to wand the tank. I bought some of this to break down whatever was left after doing that and dumping, getting the majority of the tank empty, with the intention of using it frequently moving forward. Works as claimed for odor removal and solids/paper breakdown! Odor was significantly diminished but not entirely eradicated on the first day of our camping excursion. The situation improved the following day, and by the third day it was largely gone. Paper entirely broke down in literally 3–4 hours, and solids completely liquefied, after a three-day journey and some "new" deposits in the tank. dump was fully empty. In order to watch the dump, I have clear hose adapters. Gross? Certainly, but I've had my fill of the "black tank/dump hose surprise" game. You may use any paper you want, I suppose, but after once experiencing a blocked dump hose (not when using this product), I am just not willing to take a chance on it. I will continue to use this product because I am happy with it. I'm hoping that continued use will further lessen the scents, as they are now quite manageable although not being particularly pleasant. Use a lot of water in your tank—at least a 2:1 ratio of water to solids, and a T.P. designed specifically for RVs. We are using Scott brand paper, which works perfectly for us and degrades swiftly. If you follow the instructions on the bottle, it will work. I adore this item!
You can put vinegar and baking soda in RV toilet. This will help to clean and deodorize the toilet.
If you want to deep clean your RV septic tank, you'll need to do a few things. First, you'll need to remove all the solid waste from the tank. You can do this by using a pump to remove the waste from the tank. Next, you'll need to clean the tank with a cleaning solution. You can use a bleach solution or a septic tank cleaning solution. Finally, you'll need to rinse the tank with clean water.
If your RV tank has black sludge in it, the best way to remove it is to use a holding tank cleaner. Holding tank cleaners are designed to break down and remove waste and buildup from your RV tank.
The best way to stop your RV black tank from smelling is to ensure that it is properly ventilated. You can do this by opening the RV's bathroom vents when the tank is in use, and by making sure that the tank's vent pipe is clear of obstructions. You should also regularly clean your black tank with a RV-specific cleaner, and ensure that all of the tank's valves are properly sealed.
If your RV sewer smells bad, there are a few things you can do to try to fix the problem. First, make sure that all of your drains are properly plugged. If one of them is not, the smell could be coming from there. Second, you can try pouring a cup of bleach down each of your drains. Let it sit for a few minutes, and then flush the drains with hot water. This will kill any bacteria that could be causing the smell. Finally, if the problem persists, you may need to have your RV septic tank professionally cleaned.
