Do not use the blue stuff they sell at the RV stores. That does not clean out your tank, it just covers up the smell..........Keeps the tanks clean and the gauges work all the time. The enzymes breaks the solids up and by the time you dump it just flows out like water, very little smell.
But I also flush the tanks after I have dumped with the sprayer it has built into the tanks, which also helps keep them clean while in storage.
I think the problem IS all these new 'natural' tank chems are nothing more than just PERFUME.
The "orginal" RV Marine chems were designed to control odor,break down waste so it didn't clog and/or stick to the sides of a holding tank. And it won't gag you when you dump.Btw these are blue also.
I ran out one time and bought a packet from the CG store to tied me over till I left and OMG it filled the entire MH with the most gawd awful perfume smell! I had to dump the tanks three times and open all the windows. That is NOT what holding tank chems are designed for. They should work not just cover up with perfume.
Don't know about all of you but I don't like to be parked next to Rv'ers that don't use real holding tank chems and when they dump at that site and that stank comes inside my windows.
And I no longer will help Rv'ers that don't use holding tank chems. You open up that bay door to their sewage lines and it will knock you out.
