Bio Tabs (Pods) .... Spain

Translation via google for biological - biologica

Don't know if that helps or hinders 😂😂😂

Activo just means "active".  Just advertising speak.

As an aside, I'm still none the wiser why people use bio tabs in the loo?

'Biological' detergents are ones that contain enzymes which help break down protein, starches and fat in stains (food) on clothing, typically containing, alpha-amylases, cellulases, proteases and lipases), these are designed to work at between 30C to 50C during a wash cycle.

How these help in a Thetford cassette has yet adequately been explained to me?

There are no anti bacterial properties to a bio-tab - is it just that they smell nice?

 

 

It  can't  be  the  smell / scent / aroma / pong CJ  'cos

a  lot  of  folks  use  different  types  of  additive  in  the

Flush  tank  if  they  have  one,  or  sprays  such  as 

Zoflora ( I  THINK  ?? )  or  hand-held  self  mixed 

ones  if  like  mine  the  flush  comes  from  the  one 

main  water  tank

As  for  the  effect  of  the  "Bio Pods"  I   bow  to  your 

knowledge  but  I  have  to  say  my  toilet  container

was  no  cleaner  when  it  was  new  than  it  is  now.

Well, I can make you wiser why one person uses, in our case, bio laundry fluid, if not able to give you the underlying science how these products achieve it.
They break down human faeces and keep the cassette very much cleaner of hard deposit build up, than the maker’s own products did for us.

I ask no more of them, all I want is to easily empty away the cassette contents and it remain nice and clean.

I am not seeking or in need of something that can arrest bacterial degeneration for a few days, as weight handling dictates emptying every 24 hours, long before that takes unpleasant control, even in the ambient of South of France.

Emptying regularly tends to make something so cheap and effective an attractive option. If the propriety stuff did as effective job I would never had started, but finding them so lacking and bio-liquid so much more effective, I have not looked back.

As it is designed for discharge into domestic black water systems I can’t see using it presents additional challenges, not something I feel as confident about with using some of the more targeted loo products.

I can vouch for Tesco, Sainsbury, Waitrose and Lidl own products doing the job over many years.

Over to others to fathom "how" they are so effective if the apparent science does not stack up.

 Despite the claimed temperature requirements,bio-tabs do still work in washing machine cycles ON A COLD WASH !! We used the cold washes in Spain & South of France for electricity heater savings .It therefore follows that the cold water used in C/van or M/home toilets will do just the same job !!The W.C holding tank on my Concorde is quite substantial ,yet since using bio-tabs has never smelt better !!Everything is broken down to a free flowing liquid and drains down quicker too..

I have no idea how they work, nor for that matter how those fluids designed for the job, work. What I do know is that I dislike the chemical smell of non organic fluids, would only use organic. Following discussions on here we gave the Lidl bio pods a go and reckon they can't be beaten. We ran out on a trip and reverted to the small bottle of  non organic fluid which we'd had because it was all we could get a while back. The whole motorhome had a whiff of chemicals and once used I found the smell lingered which we've not had with bio pods. They are cheaper, cleaner and easier to use than the liquids and we'll continue to use the pods. He who empties the container says they're great too. 😉.

I would guess that activo is right but Spannish isn't my lingo - good luck. 

 

Hi CJ. I have to say I was sceptical for a start when I was told about this but being someone who  tends  to do things a little differently, I decided to give them a go as, if they didn't work, I could always use them in the laundry. However, the first time I emptied the cassette with the biopod in use, I was very pleasantly surprised at the ease of emptying. I didn't have to work up a sweat getting rid of the Klingons!! Say no more!
