Septic treatment

[jagpot]

I was watching a you tube video on Rving and the Newmar salesperson said they recommend Micro-Blaze treatment to the Black tanks. Has anyone tried this? Where did you get it? If not what do you use?

Water....... PLENTY of water.........

We started using Happy Camper a few years ago and really like it.

We must realize we have "holding tanks" not septic tanks. The best treatment I've found in the last 15+ years is water. It is an individual choice whether to spend money on enzymes, perfumed chemicals, etc but realize, its a holding tank not a septic tank.

Sign me up in the don't use anything category. I believe treatments such as happy camper are gimmicks, IMHO. The only thing I put in my tanks, both black and gray, are dish soap and cascade at varying times as a cleaning agent. I will put maybe 25% water in the tanks, add a cleaning agent, drive to the next campground and dump.

Thanks. I did confuse the two. Makes sense.

I am inclined to agree with you. I did not know about Cascade or Dawn. Thanks for that tip as always.

I think Neal meant to say Calgon Water Softener rather than Cascade. Calgon is getting harder for me to find so I use Borax as a substitute.

Nope. Cascade for cleaning the tanks. If it can clean food yuck in a dishwasher it should be able to do some cleaning in a gray tank, and why not the black too?

Sorry, I've always added a little water softener when cleaning my tanks. Added a little Cascade wouldn't hurt. Do you dissolve it in hot water before adding it to your tank?
