We have not moved our class A since October 2011. It's not easy to keep a black tank clean that is not slooshing around at least once every six months. Our internal strayer died in CA when we didn't filter the water to the sprayer. Sand clogged it. When we dump our black tank, we use a hose down through the toilet. It's not pleasant. At all. I needed SOMETHING to kill the smell when I had to have that flush valve open to hose out the tank.
I'm not looking for advice... I'm telling you what just WORKED. It totally knocked out my black tank odor. I've tried pine-sol now and then (don't like to use it weekly). I've tried the GMO method. I've tried Orange granules. I think I've tried them all.
I've even tried that RV DIGEST IT.. which touts that you don't have to hose the black tank out after flushing because you want the base of stuff left in the tank for the next week for it to work properly. Some things helped better than others but until I tried this stuff... nothing really killed the odor.
The first time I tried this stuff, we dumped the black tank as we normally do. Closed the black valve and added water to the black tank, as we always do. I put about 2 cups of this new stuff into the toilet and filled the bowl up with the hand sprayer. I let that sit in the toilet bowl for awhile before I let it go into the black tank. (I like to see how it cleans/deodorizes the bowl just as a test for what it might be doing for the tank.) Did okay. I'm not sorry I put in 2 cups of it the first week. I think that was a good decision. I also let the black tank get completely full. It was coming up the tube and the toilet would give that air bubble indication of a FULL black tank.
I noticed right away that during the rest of the week there was no smell when I flushed the toilet. None.
Our black tank fills up in about 8 or 9 days. If I remember right, it's a 65 gal black tank according to the spec sheet that came with the rig... 2001 Winnebago Adventurer. I don't skimp on water when we've got FHU...and I wanted to make sure to keep things stirring up really good to give this stuff a chance to get into all the right places.
When it came time to dump... there was no smell what so ever as I hosed it out. None. Hubby said that there were no chunks coming thru when he opened the valve up either. We have a clear plastic piece between the valve and the hose that allows us to see what's coming down the pike.
So this week I only put in 8 oz of this stuff - we'll see if it does as well. Once the temps get above 80 deg... that will be the real test. I'm in the NW btw.
