Ice in Black Tanks?

I had seen a black tank cleaner wand thing once in a camp store, just a piece of PVC pipe with a cap and a couple holes drilled in it to make nozzles, and of course outrageously priced, so I made myself one for about $5, most of that for the hose adapter fitting. It has 3 holes drilled in the side of the pipe and it goes straight down in the toilet and into the black tank. Hose turned on full blast provides three strong sprays, and usually the second filling of the tank clears the sensors, and any additional water comes out clear and colorless. Never been tempted to try the ice technique, although I've read about it here for years.

Black errr brown Russian any one?

We've tried it, not to clean the tank in itself, but to clean the probes. I'd say it takes at least three bags at once. By the time you get just one bag in, and it isn't that much to begin with, it's probably half melted by dumping it in a warm tank before you get on the road.

It comes up at least every other month on the forum.

Didn't work for me.

Eat more fiber, works just as good.

It's been around forever, way before tank sensors ... lots of folks still swear by it. In fact my dad used this method back in the 60's

I tried it ONCE, it didn't hurt anything, but didn't help either. The work that goes into it just isn't worth the time or trouble when nothing actually happened.

After seeing actual video tests it's kinda clear it ranks right up there with snake oil.

yes Ice as a black tank cleaner has been discussed here many times.
You have believers and non believers

I use Rid septic cleaner once in a while. find it does a good job
