Toilet Thread🙄

Rumour said:
The instructions with our septic tank is not to use Bio products. As it costs a fortune to rectify, I will take the word of the manufacturer over a motorhome forum. But of course, if it is not your septic tank, why worry?

We too have a septic tank and have sought help from tinternet re bio or non bio wash powder issue and it's certainly not conclusive as there's contradictory advice. We've come down on the bio route which we've used for years. The bugs seem to be doing their work, every now and again I do an examination to ascertain the depth of sludge at the bottom ( with a stick!) and it seems to be holding steady at less than a quarter off the bottom. Haven't had it emptied in over 12 years.

Im with you Z this is great thread but a little disappointing there isn’t a mention of the bag it and bin it squad so far, no need for anything in your cassette other than pee. 😂 but I’ll read on as the anticipation is gripping.

I use compostable bags the ones for your little food waste bins at home available in most supermarkets COMPOSTABLE not BIODEGRADABLE is best.

Those ones go in the cassette Annie, they were in a van we bought a long time ago but you have to have 2-3 litres of water in there so we'd only use them over winter to keep it fresh then not bother again, we have a collection of Thetford stuff out of different vans, I'm not a lover of them. £$%^ stinks but I don't find it offensive, wee is much worse if left for a few days.

Bag it and bin it, and wee in a bottle.

I am trying Solbio in my cassette

I tried Solbio. For the first. 36 hours it was brilliant. Then a very pervasive smell built up. I thought I'd wait and see. Perhaps it'd go away. It got worse.
In the end I had to wash down everything in the bathroom. Walls, ceiling, towels, hang waterproofs.
I think it would be ok for someone who empties their toilet every day.
 
Over ten years of using bio capsules. Works far better than the stuff you buy for toilets. Doesn't smell, though one capsule each day is needed in hot weather.

And yes, it is fine in septic tanks. It's only one tablet. Some people do four or five loads of laundry in one day. That makes the chemicals the use more problematic. Bleach is a particular problem
 
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.
