Black tank chemical

I have used formaldehyde based chemical in our black tank for many years with no issues. The brand I have been using is getting hard to find. We don't like the formaldehyde free stuff. What do you recommend.

  • I don't us any chemicals and never have a problem.
    By the way formaldehyde based tank treatments are banned now.

    I haven't used formaldehyde based tank treatments for years and wouldn't as I see no need. I've tried a variety of products but for the last year have been using black and grey tank products by Walex and have had zero issues with tank odour.
