I'd not try it but I’m outnumbered by others who swear by it.

Just do your own thing.

We decided to start using them with our MH, having read about them on CT. We were very impressed with how well they worked. Plus when in France it was east to nip to Lidl and top up when we ran low. I suppose any bio pod would do, but the Lidl one seemed to be the pod of choice on here. They of course also work equally well if you need to do any washing.

What's the general opinion on using bio pods in the toilet cassette  ?

Posted on 26/04/2021 19:18

We prefer Aquachem but the pods can be useful if you can’t get hold of the chemical.

I tend to use a combination of pods and blue/green chemicals. Whenever changing site and when returning home I use the pods as they clean out the holding tank as well as doing the business on site, as it were. I always carry a small bottle of the green fluid for use on sites that request it's use.

We use mainly bio pods. Couple in tank every empty and renew. Seems to work very well, no odours etc..... Like Nellie, green stuff for the odd site that requests you use it.

Like AD, we use the  bio pods, and our experience is similar.

We have been carrying a small tub of "green" sachets for a few years too, but have not yet been on a site that required their use.

Used Aldi bio pods for a few years now. Work fine, less weight to carry, easier to use (no blue hands!) container always spotless and no smell issues. Just keep a small airtight pot in the bathroom and drop one in after emptying.

Kj, bio pods are the same as the green liquids using enzyme to treat the waste, they are usable in green waste systems and septic tanks.

Yes, aware of that, but have read that some people think one should not use biological washing powders/liquids if you have a septic tank.

Interested to know if there is any scientific basis at all for this?

Just in case we do come across a CL owner who holds this opinion, we carry a small tub of green sachets.  It is still unopened after 5 years as we have not so far used a CL that requires "green".
