Posted on 25/05/2020 15:48 by davetommoI have tried them and gave up. The tab didn’t even break up. The waste stayed solid an the cassette stank.

Was very sceptical when I first saw it suggested here as the chemicals are very different.
But I bought a cheap lavender bio tabs box from Aldi and have never turned back.
I would say if you are not a regular emptier (every couple of days), the the wee smell can get a little strong when emptying (not in the van) compared to traditional, but it seems to break the paper down much better.

I was dubious but was very surprised at how well they worked. As above I did dissolve the tab with gentle shaking. Give that a go, you may be surprised. At least you can use them for your cloths washing if dissatisfied. Which is more than you can do with the blue.😉
As CJ says they do break down the paper much better.

Posted on 25/05/2020 16:23 by no oneI will give them ago next time when we allowed out, anything is better than the 'blue' chemical that stains everything.
is it still ok to put 'pink' in the flush tank, I don't want some kind of chemical reaction when flushing

Posted on 25/05/2020 16:19 by davetommoAs I said the will break down if I use hot water. I have tried the shaking gentle and vigorous with cold water but no joy.

Very surprised to hear that, if those were the Lidl liquid pouches?
We also use them for clothes washing and on one campsite in Germany OH accidentally dropped one, while loading clothes in the machine, the tiled floor was a little wet and the thing immediately started disintegrating!

Some people use fabric softener or something else with a nice smell, but the pink will not react badly with the biological liquid. We just use plain water in the flush tank.
If you decide you do not like the "Biotabs" then try the blue or green sachets sold by Thetford and Elsan , or the tablets by Dometic, as easy to use as the biotabs as you just drop them in. No mess, no liquid to carry.
