Chemical toilets tablets v chemicals

Hi David

We use Bio Magic; which is safe to empty into septics, long drops, and residue degrades very quickly when buried. On the caravaners forum people report success with odour-b-gone. They also report success with Coles and Woolworths brand nappy care plus and nappy treatment plus. Both say septic safe and are cheap powder products with the same ingredients.

Re nappy treatments - the active ingrediant is Sodium Percarbonate. Most are about 25%ww. I use Oxygen Plus at about 34% (heaped tablespoonful disovled in 1L warm water) and costing less that $4.00. Works brilliantly. Also great for a periodic soak to de-scale the cassette etc. Good general cleaning agent.

We have used Odour-be-gone for 2 years. A couple of others before that. They are at least as good as anything else that we have used. They are an oxygenating treatment and are septic safe. We use slow release in the cassette.

Hi David,

We have now been on the road 8 weeks now, when we first brought our van we were given a small bottle of chemical (trial size) we used it once, it was kinda messy. We have used the Odour-b-gone tablets since and we love them. We even use a dissolved tablet in a spray bottle for cleaning the toilet.

My question on these new styles agents is;

Do they actually break everything down or just make it smell "nice"?

We use the old original Aqua Kem, the strong blue stuff in the brown (appropriate LOL) bottle. Even the paper breaks down and you end up with a sloppy old brew that smells OK and pours out easily.

I kinda stick with the old Mortein theory, when you're on a good thing...........

Cheers,

Jim.
