Ratio of nappy san to water in porta potty

Hi Brent & Lib

I use the same amount as i add to a large bucket to soak clothes at home; just tip a bit - probably a well heaped tablespoon, dissolved in a litre or two of water to start with. If need be, it is simple and cheap to add a bit more after a couple of days. I use plain water in top tank the same as i do at home - no additives necessary. Ours is a built in Thetford in the caravan.

Nothing in the top.
One teaspoon per crap in the bottom.

Nappy san.....?
mMmmmmmmm..Interesting...cheao alternative...


Does it really chew up deposits ..?
On the rare occasions we use a Porta Potty.. (and that is rare), we use Hayman Reece chemical.. and that takes up to 3 days..

No smell but ...

Cheers Bucky

Thanks everyone, so do I just fill the top tank with water until it's almost full? Or I suppose it wouldn't really matter because you could just keep adding to it.

Sorry I have no idea, I have never used one before!

Bucky, yes it's supposed to be very good from what I have googled and read on here, no personal experience though.

Thanks

The two products most widely available that contain principally sodium percarbonate are Woolworths Homebrand Nappy Treatment Plus and Coles $martbuy Napicare Plus. Most other brands contain other ingredients and less sodium percarbonate.

We were using Bio Magic ($48 a bottle) and often only used the toilet once before emptying as we only use it spasmodically when necessary. I tried the sodium percarbonate products and was even happier with the results. There was a musty odour with Bio Magic which we don't get now.

It is considered septic and long drop safe, and when burying in the ground, the slurry disappears quickly and leaves no harmful chemical such as the old formaldehyde 'preservative' type toilet chemicals do. We have a large bottle of this from the previous owners of our van which we have never used and need to safely dispose of.

I like Peter's simple formula.

By the way Brent and Lib, your instructions probably told you not to use anything else but the brand specific chemicals distributed by the manufacturers - a bit like Toyota recommend using Toyota genuine parts not Ford.
