We’re in Brittany and running out of blue toilet chemicals. Does anyone know where to buy some in France or know of an alternative to use?

Go to Aldi or Lidl and buy a bottle of bio laundry washing liquid.

When you get home, fit a SOG and then you will not need to add any chemicals to your cassette ever again.

We use green all the time it's better for the environment.

We use bio laundry liquid. Better for the environment and you won't upset septic tank owners when you empty your waste into their systems.

Why blue, isnt that with Formaldehyde which is bad for planet, use green or as others suggest the bio tabs from Aldi.

Is it easy to fit a SOG?

Fitting one should not hold any fear. Depending on your cassette arrangement, they fit on the door of your cassette and connect to an adapter fitted to your cassette emptying cap.

Very easy , come with instructions that are very easy to follow. Depends on your set up , you get a type that vents through the cassette locker door ( need to drill a hole on the door , a bit scary but done two of those with no problems) Other type vent through the floor or through the roof , I went for a through the floor vented one this time as I have an Elddis CV20 now and couldn’t fit the through the door option as cassette does not give clearance for the SOG fan. I have photos of how I did it I could send to you to give an idea of what’s involved, or look on SOG website to see some examples

Another benefit is that no-one will park next to you because of the stink.

Formil, bio detergent from Lidl,

Doubles up nicely if you need to do some laundry.

Many thanks. Will look at this once I’ve returned home

Yet another myth …….big carbon filter eliminates the fumes …..
It’s the green bit in the photo

Another urban myth. We've had SOGs on our last 4 motorhomes and never, ever had any niff evident around the van. As the vent is through the floor, nobody sees it and the very large carbon filter deals with any niff.

I forgot to take a spare bottle of toilet blue when I went in July.
I looked in Carrefour and they only sold Campingaz own version but it was an eye watering €23!
Fortunately, my brother in law brought a spare out with him the week later - £6 from Aldi - Blue Diamond.
As someone else has mentioned, I'd go to the supermarket and buy some bio liqui tabs and put one of those in and just remember to pack a toilet blue when you get home so it's ready for next time.
Have a great trip.

In July I bought loo additive at a Decathlon store (outdoor leisure chain) at a Dieppe out of town shopping park where there were other major chain stores.

Why bother with toilet blue when bio liquid is good enough to deal with the smells and better than blue for some systems?

Or if you want to buy toilet fluid get green. We bought some Aldi blue by mistake it's still in the garage. The green is fine we usually have green fluid plus a little bio washing liquid a sort of poo cocktail!

Thetford Blue is now formaldehyde free , has been for a while

I'm pretty sure the Aldi one still has formaldehyde in.

Just hope not to be downwind of a SOG equipped van . . .

It does. But we're not drinking it.
Pretty much most domestic cleaning products and building products has it in.
As do hair straighteners and other products regularly used.
The quantity going into a toilet cassette is only going to become harmful if ingested or washed with or inhaled over a period of time with limited oxygen.

Can’t really comment on Aldi products
We don’t ever shop there

 

[GAVLAD]

They sell Blue Diamond products when they have their camping sale of stuff on

Probably better to comment on something if you actually know how it works , if you’ve been downwind of a smelly van it’s not a SOG equipped one.

You won't find anything labelled "bio" in France (if referring to washing products.)
