Happy Camper promotes aerobic bacteria which kills anaerobic bacteria and breaks down waste. Just dissolve one ounce in a couple of gallons of water for every 40 gallons of waste tank, about 60 cents. A black tank with hardened deposits can be corrected with proper application of Happy Camper Extreme Cleaner. The stuff works, is cheap and easy. Try it, you'll like it! The GEO Method is complicated, uses too many chemicals, too much water, costs more, and is actually counterproductive to maintaining a healthy black tank.
I would never add bleach to a black tank - bleach reacts with urine to give off chlorine gas - nasty stuff.
