Supporting the Club's shop...I went online to purchase some Dometic Power Tabs....usually purchased online at Amazon or eBay at around £17 inclusive of postage......whichever the cheapest at the time. To my shock i found the product on the club shop priced at £32.99 + £4 postage..
I realise the overheads at EG are at an all time high...but this is something else !!

Made a "panic" purchase at the club site on the night before the ferry because the idea of searching for a caravan accessory shop immediately we got to France didn't bear thinking. That was of course before we learned better from Merve. To add to all its other benefits its lighter , unlikely to stain hands and clothes and I believe acceptable in septic tanks (stand to be corrected)

We first tried them when we switched to a MH 3 years ago and wished we had done so earlier. The big pluses for me are lack of staining and low price. Means I can empty the cassette more frequently without running up a large bill, or running out. Particularly useful on sites with gravel roads, on which the cassette wheels don’t work well, as I can carry it easily when only part full.

They certainly are, TG....and, guess what, they're also handy for washing clothes!
I have a box of non-bio for the places with septic tanks, and Bio for everywhere else.
we've been converts for years and I have a bottle of Thetford 'blue' in the garage which is heading ever closer to its use by date...horrible stuff...
like Steve says, cheap as chips to empty a little more often, usually every couple of days for us and readily available everywhere theres a Lidl or Aldi.

Interesting reading about the bio pods in toilet cassettes. We tried them once a few years ago when this subject first came up and we thought they were awful. Ok they seemed to break down solids (etc,etc) but the smell was really unpleasant so we stopped using them and went back to the Dometic or Thetford tabs/sachets. Perhaps we’ll give them another try. I assume any bio pods will work? We haven’t a handy Lidl or Aldi here.

Posted on 12/11/2021 08:37 by hitchglitchWe tried bio pods and hated them. Have now switched to “green” sachets. Excellent.
