Bio Tabs (Pods) .... Spain

I am an avid convert to using Bio Tabs  (for the toilet!), and usually use LIDL's own brand.  We are in Spain at the moment and running short.  Searching both LIDL and other shops I cannot identify any tabs/pods which are obviously 'biological' in the accepted English interpretation.  (Many say they are 'Activo').   Can anyone assist? ...my Spanish is very limited.

I'm  one of  "Merve's  Converts"  cool  but  I  do  have  a  question  :--

 

Are  the  Bio  pods  classed  as  "Green"   w r t  their  use  in  Septic  Tanks ?

The  reason  I  ask  is  having  booked  a  CL  in  Scotland  I  was  told  on  their  website,  &  by  the  Owner  that  Green  is  the  only  acceptable  type  of  fluid  to  be  used  there  !!

Confused  of  Crewe  laughing

No they aren't green sorry to say.  But that hasn't stopped me from using them at home in my ancient tank.   

I would ask the CL user if laundry has to be washed "green" and see what they say.  In my opinion bio pods are greener than formaldehyde but that could be wishful thinking.  I do carry Thetford green for your sort of scenario but haven't used it in a while.

Very interesting....never come across this idea before - but always willing to try new (proven) things when in the 'van...  Thanks to all.

AJB I hope this thread is "proven" enough for you as it is so much easier and nicer to handle etc.etc.

I wonder if Thetford have gone in for Pods since so many of us have switched to laundry ones for ease of use.  Blue/green fingers may now becoming  a thing of the past.  wink

Right advanced apologies for the silly question.

Is everyone saying these are the BIO tablets for washing clothes?

Do you put these straight into the cassette and thats it? Currently have bottle of blue for it at present but i like the sludge comments rather than the clingers. ha ha

Yes  

Edit sorry for short possibly considered abrupt response was on my Kindle and it would only let me type one word. Be it the first second or third, I know this and it's most frustrating 😣. Then went to my phone and website just hung 😣 same Internet etc etc flipping website!

Yes we've used these ones for the past two years much prefer them but always keep some organic fluid in case they can't be used on sites.. sometimes smectic tanks but there always a sign. We've not had a problem. I see from your link the packaging is changing our box is green you don't want he blue box.
