"Happy Camper" is not a chemical. It is an enzyme additive which breaks down organic material, helps eliminate any clogs and odors.
Happy Campers is a stand alone monohydrate, highly concentrated mineral blend in an anhydrous form. It works basically the same as a bioactive treatment. It is synergist formulated to eliminate odor (not cover it up) and accelerate decomposition. It is aqueous: is activated when mixed with water....which is just techno-babble BS. A "monohydrate" is basically a chemical molecule which is linked to a single molecule of water. "Anhydrous" means no water. Not sure where one hires a "synergist" to formulate things for you. "Aqueous" means consisting mostly of water.
So, according to them, it's has no water, is bound to single water molecules, and is mostly water.
My guess is it's a proprietary blend of salts, probably mostly zinc sulfate, which is a common odor treatment for septic systems. Salts are, of course, chemicals.
