I'm no expert on the matter and am not saying you're wrong.... but, if you're right, why do all the chemicals come with varying scents if they are not intended to mask smells?
Well, I AM AN EXPERT:B They make them smell better because sewage is sewage if raw or broken down. If they did not use the scents, every time you flushed your toilet you would get a nice outhouse smell back into your RV. And, If no chemical when you dumped you would such a nice odor that you cannot really avoid no matter how diligent you are when dumping the system. For instance, GRAY tanks which almost nobody uses Chemicals in smells MUCH worse that Most Black tanks. This causes a lot of people to suspect a Black tank causing an odor in the RV when it is really the Gray tank odor. Doug
