It's amazing how many people believe waste will break down in a blank tank!
You would have to fill the tank and let it sit for many weeks or months for any real break down of waste to happen. Anything you add to the tank would be for odor control only.
We have never used city water hook ups so we sanitize each spring with bleachLinc
that's not true. I use a black tank chemical that DOES break down waste. You have to read the label very carefully to find one that states it does. Most of the new ones on the market now are targeted to the greenies and all they do is add perfume.
Which the one and only time I used one of those perfume ones because I had run out of the one I use......the whole RV stunk like a french whore and set my asthma off the charts. Had to find a dump station and get rid of it asap.
I have dumped with this chemical in my tank and without and with the clear sewer connection there is definitely a difference. Our RV's are not your home sewage system. We have a small diameter exit and a blade valve just begging to get clogged up.
I don't have time while on the road to deal with clogs of any kind. And have not. The original chems that break down the waste have been on the market for years and years for RV and marine.
This is the only one I use. No sewer odor ever, no clogs. And that goes for long periods between dumping in hot, hot, Florida in the summer. :B
Packaging is very similar for this one and their natural one. Read the label and look for breaks down waste.
