Toilet Thread🙄

The ones I use from the pound shop are little blue white solid blocks which come in a silver foil inside a green box, think there is 5 packets with 2 blocks in each, never a smell or problems if left in the loo for a few weeks to do there job, and 4 of us dont seem to fill it up as we do use outside loos when we can.

Are they dishwasher tablets?

Having used the bio wash tablets in the cassette for the last 10 years, I don't seem to be able to find them anywhere. Aldi and Lidl now sell the capsules.
So, I wondered what everyone preferred using these days. I'm thinking that the capsules sometimes dissolve to leave a GUNGY GOO that might gunge up the cassette in places I wouldn't want to clean. So is bio liquid the way to go?
Personally, I'm disappointed as the tablets came in a neat little box that was a perfect fit in our bathroom cupboard.😒

& YESSSS,
I even admit to finding a suitable spot, Removing the Sod, Scraping a Hole, Tipping the Wee (as previously said No Solids or Paper used) & replacing the Sod on numerous occasions when necessary as well if full between my I in 12-14 night site ‘Pit Stops’

(Now THAT should liven things up a bit 🤔)

Ye obviously don't drink much or yer a camel !
I can half fill a cassette during a night on the beer!
 
Using bio wash liquid as a bowl freshener and a green cassette liquid. Some sites apparently don't now accept the original stuff
 
I lived at two houses with septic tanks from 1990 til 2020 and we got our instructions from Severn Trent Water. Both of our septic tanks had soak away sand were old brick built systems (don’t know if that makes any difference. Instructions were to use non-bio only, again I don’t know if different setups are different. Last place had 12 houses connected to same tank, when I moved in the tank would go 7 years before it needed emptying. When we moved it barely gave 18 months. Same number of people in the houses so obviously not using correct products.

They work in the bacteria breaking everything down so anything that kills bacteria will kill the reaction if enough of it is put in.

Sepa recommend every 6 months I get mine done yearly but my neighbor only had theirs done once in 12 years. The tank I have is an onion within an onion so to speak, the solids drop into the outer vessel and the Grey water flows over at high level into the central tank and has a compressor running to add air through a perforated tube and help the enzymes to grow. When the level gets high enough a float switch kicks in and pumps the Grey water up over the hill into the burn.

Ours were just two chamber brick constructions, quite big when you saw the poor guy in them with the hose from his suction tank. No compressors or pumps involved on the ones we had they were definitely old’ constructions. Was starting to worry about replacement costs if it ever needed it. I just used to split any bills equally between the 12 houses for emptying but it never came to that much. Could imagine a bit of resistance if I had sent a bill for thousands each lol, once waited six months and then had to get nasty with one house for £60
