Porta Potti

X2 for the big plastic bag. S**t does happen,sometimes literally.
Apart for the extra capacity, with the bigger tank you can take care of business in comfort without having your knees in your ears.

Likewise with no problems. Once seperated, the inlet on the bottom tank won't open until the top section is replaced. Just make sure the dump pipe lid is on properly.
We also only put a couple of litres at a time in the flush tank, as it makes the whole unit too heavy if filled with about 14 litres in the flush tank.
We find the green and pink chemicals excellent. Tried the tablets, but find the chemicals better, (just our opinion), and store the bottles in a small sealed bucket in the van boot.
When on the road, at least once a week I give the whole unit a good clean. Used to be very sceptical about using one of these, but now wouldn't be without one.

Cheers from Fred.

UGH to chemicals Fred. You are also too limited at where it can be safely emptied. The feedback from other forums is to use the home brand Nappy Plus powders from Coles and Woolworths. Those who have made the change get even better results than when using the Bio safe products (which work in a similar way). Cheap too.

I'm with MH re nappy cleaner, too easy and much cheaper, also bio safe.

MH & Colin, I'm always up for new ideas. Must try the nappy plus. Do you use it in both tanks and how much ? Sounds like a cheap alternative.

Fred.

I also find Napisan just great and no chance of spilled chemicals.

I use a lid full into both top and bottom (in a caravan) and have no complaints.

Home brand Napisan is all that is required.

We tried using one lidful in the bottom tank and then increased it to two and are now using three as it didnt seen to work effectively with the smaller amounts, especially in warmer temperatures. Maybe it is just me! LOL
Suggest you experiment with this and see for yourself.

Have used both the Coles and Woolworths Home brands. We changed from the Thetford green and Pink chemicals which worked very efectively but are difficult to dispose of safely in the bush. Nappy soaker is much cheaper too.

Cheers,

Heather

Hi Fred

Check out a recent threads (within last two or three months) on the subject. One may have a link to a thread on the caravaners forum. We will finish off the Bio Magic before starting on the nappy plus. So far we only use water in the top tank - which is all i do at home. $48 for a bottle of Bio, and $6 for a whole kilo of the Coles stuff.
