After weighing all the thoughts and solutions, I have come to one conclusion. Anyone that thinks their black tank doesn't stink (or the stuff inside of it) needs to have their nose checked because it does.
You have missed the whole point of this discussion. It's not about if chit stinks or not....of course it does. What we are talking about is how to keep that stink out of the rv. Black tank systems are designed to contain that stink "in" the tank and not in the rv. If the black tank system has good seals, no stink will escape. Of course if you hold open the toilet valve long enough the stink will come back up the pipe and into the bathroom.....ESPECIALLY if the overhead vent is open and the fan is on.
So...... if the system is working correctly, there is absolutely no reason to put any deodorizers in the tank as the stink will be already contained in the tank. Therefore, just using plain water is more than sufficient to keep the system operating correctly.
I hope this helps to provide a better understanding for you. I, and others, were only pointing out to the OP (and others, including you) that black tank chemicals (much like special rv toilet paper) is not necessary, nor required, and is only making your wallet lighter.
