Bleach counteracts the common holding tank treatments. The common holding tank chemicals use enzymes to break down waste matter and neutralize odors. Adding bleach along with enzymes kills the enzymes so you then have nothing to break down the solids and diminish odors.

Not only is chlorine hard on gaskets . . . We tried adding bleach to the black tanks on our houseboat many years ago, and it was a disaster
I never said any such thing I simply posted a copy of a post about what another person thought about bleach
I see nothing wrong with using bleach I just prefer the all natural puro fresh I use
