Was having a read to try and work out why you lot were washing your $h1t
came across this on another site and thought it was interesting
Basically (as Derek advises when using bio products) we use bio laundry products in both the cassette tank and the flush tank so that they are compatible.
We generally use Formil from Lidl as they are consistently cheaper than other brands but in October last year we discovered that Tesco were selling bio-tablets (solid powdery stuff) really cheap so we bought some of those; and they worked perfectly with the Formil bio liquid that we put in the flush tank.
By the way, it's not all to do with "economy". Often in Holland, Germany and France the camping sites won't let you discharge "toilet chemicals" into their emptying systems.
Many years ago I was living on a site in Dorset and was told that I had to leave because the local Environment Agency was shutting the site down due to high levels of pollution from the site's Klargester Sewage Treatment system. I had a two month contract to complete and other sites were shut for the winter so I took a look at his system and procedures.
It turned out that there were two problems:
1. After cleaning the swimming pool he dumped chlorine-rich water into his waste water system.
2. He only had one Chemical Toilet Point on site and as a result some lazier visitors emptied their waste down ordinary toilets.
Both of these actions killed off the bugs that were supposed to be treating the sites waste water. The owner acted, the discharge water improved, the Environment Agency withdrew the closure order and I got a two months stay for free.
But that's why they insist on bio products in the toilets nowadays.
