I think the OP is confusing ice cubes with pellets?

No Styrofoam in the sewer systems please! They would do nothing in your tank...in the same category as ice cubes. Use water in your tank.

Unless your tossing baby wipes or similar down the commode everything else is water soluble so why use anything else.

What do you expect the Styrofoam peanuts to do???? They're soft, gentle and meant to protect things. Do you expect them to scrape the walls of the tank and clean it - trust me, they won't.

And then they're going to clog up the leach field in some campgrounds septic system. If you're going dump them into a municipal sewer system, they aren't going to like it either.

Use the dish soap if you want, but don't use the peanuts!!!!

How would you get rid of the Styrofoam peanuts?
If you dump into a campground septic system they might get mad.
DO you have a problem or are you obsessed with black tank cleanliness?
