Flush tank additives

Posted on 15/02/2017 21:36 by EalingBob

I recently started using biological liquitabs to add to our waste tank. I found that they worked well with little difference between them and the expensive stuff you can buy in caravan dealers.

I was wondering has anyone any experience with additives to the flush tank?  I would have thought that any suitable wetting agent would do?  Has anyone tried washing up liquid...or am I being naïve?  I tried car screen wash and that seems to work very well but it's not cheap and a lot more expensive than washing up liquid!

Any advice?

Many thanks,

Bob D.

Using biological pods seems like a great idea for toilet cassette.

This might seem a daft question but are the pods put in whole, or do you need to burst them, for them to be effective ?

Thanks

Just drop one in whole and it's coating will dissolve with a bit of agitation. When leaving a site and heading home I always put 2 in with the hot water that I drain off the van, and this helps to clean the cassette on the road home. Then empty the contents down out toilet the following day.

Many thanks, that's great.

I take it that these pods can be used in lieu ( oops !) of the chemicals that are added to digest the sewage, as well as being used to clean the cassette while on the move, as you say ?

Yes they are used instead of the fluid, and break up the sewage just as well if not better.

When I fill the flush tank I add a cap of zoflora , its a quid a bottle .

It does the trick .

We do the same and have done for over a year along with Aldi Bio pods it works very well.

for MHers with a grey waste tank, a pod or two can be added via an inspection hatch to freshen up the grey tank as you drive home.

works in the same way as described above for the cassette.
