Cleaning the cassette

[POH]

It has been mentioned on here about using coke cola to clean it ,I was wondering how many litres do you have to put in considering it takes over 10 litres .

 

[Lenny HB]

Far better to use citric acid or white wine vinegar.

Bleach

 

[Rob Turner]

I bleach and use boiling hot water.
Give it a shake and empty.
Then take the top off and give it a real good clean.

In many years I have only bothered to clean a cassette a couple of times. Just used thetfords cassette cleaner. Considering it's use I can't see any reason for cleaning it.

Bleach can damage the seals, the Thetford cleaner is a bit naff doesn't work anywhere near as well as vinegar or citric acid.
As for not cleaning it, it stinks if you don't clean it as you get a build up of calcium.

Wouldn’t use Bleach!

A dishwasher cleaner would work as does White Vinegar, leave it to sit for a while, no need to fill it, shake a few times and leave upside down for a while!

It certainly pays to clean the cassette. The build up of scale/calcium can cause a problem after a while.

 

[BusyBuilder]

I used some calgon in mine,filled them up and left the solution in for a few days as the gunge inside was quite hard, then actually stripped them both down and thoroughly cleand them, after 10 years there's quite a build up.

Muck doesn't bother me, when you deal with customers toilets and bathrooms you get used to it.

Nothing ever builds up in ours, I put bleach in regularly while in use, stops the smell too. Been doing it years

Wait until it's full then put some Vanish in, not only does it clean it but it empties it as well.

I wish

 

[pj650]

Citric acid crystals works well for me.

Oh well done, for today.

Place cassette in open area away from people pets or vans. Stand upright with drain facing upwards and screwtop removed. Tip 2 Litre bottle of cheap cola into opening, followed by 3 Mentoes....... stand well back...
.... Hose down well with fresh water.
