As Mr Punch would say "That's the way to do it"None! I just empty every day! No need for chemicals. When emptied put good bit of water in never had any smells.
what quantity do you put in thetford cassette

Good point but I am not sure about the "many sites". While chemicals are still being widely used sites just have to have their tanks emptied as there is little chance of septic tanks working. Our house has a septic tank, or more accurately a mini sewage plant and we do use bio products for washing clothes but not every wash and so far there have been no problems. The tank let's us know if it is not happy - you can begin to smell it!Nobody has mentioned that bio tablets (and variants) aren't septic tank friendly. Many sites use septic tanks and don't have mains drainage and if they don't want you using "blue" liquid (with formalin), they won't like bio tabs in your loo either.

hi. best not run your wash water into the tank . at home. better to let it go to a soak away.Good point but I am not sure about the "many sites".

these days its washing machines and dish washers that spoil many a tank thats been working for years .
but yes most camp sites have a chemical waste tank . many have their own private sewage farms . many get spoilt by folk putting cassette waste in the wrong place . costs thousands sometimes for the sewage farm to get working again . had to empty plenty then bring in good sewage to get it going again .

It wasn't until this thread started that I checked and the general advice seems to be that you minimise the amount of bio washing stuff you use if you have a septic tank. I suspect this is why it works in toilet cassettes, it stops the bacteria which would cause smells in their tracks. But it is very concentrated in a cassette and well diluted the impact is not so great in a septic tank.I thought the Bio part meant they were septic tank friendly, in that they digest the waste same as a septic tank ? Or am I just a septic sceptic

Many sites and rally fields will use holding tanks and have them emptied on a regular basis thus no worries of polluting the area.Well, it's only a guess based on the sites and CLs I've visited which have tended to be well away from any mains sewerage. Certainly they're pretty common. I suppose it'll vary quite a lot across the country.

I agree with JeanLuc on the benefits of a SOG, they cost around £100 + fitting .... think I paid £50 as I didn't fancy cutting through the m/h wall myself.But how much did it cost to install if youre going to empty it every day anyway perhaps best to try the nothing approach or a bit of bio or blue especially if paying someone else to install.

Of course I do not suggest you do the same on your front lawn!

We have a septic tank at home (20 years now) & have no problem with bio washing liquid etc.
I find the biggest tank killers are grease/fat & bleach.

It was about £90 when I bought mine. I don't necessarily empty every day - that comment was to illustrate the point that there is no chemical waste if you want to empty a part-full cassette.But how much did it cost to install if youre going to empty it every day anyway perhaps best to try the nothing approach or a bit of bio or blue especially if paying someone else to install.

The best thing i did to sort any probs was what Polly (Toledo) told me to do. After emptying the cassette, every blue moon, put a bottle of Coca Cola down it and it clears any debris stuck to the side which may be a future problem.
