Keeping up the recent 'poo' threads I have found a few notes on alternative additives that some might find interesting............(debate to follow?)

Principally it would appear that Sodium Percarbonate is safe, efficient, cheap and environmentally for use in toilet cassettes and septic tanks......

But the Bio washing liquids are not environmentally friendly and can not be put in septic tanks. Actually the Bio stuff are very harmful to septic tanks.

I want to use something that has minimal impact on the planet. Yes I know I can use nothing at all (might still do that) but the Sodium Percarbonate does seem like a good (less stinky) idea........

Here is a link to a supplier on Ebay that I found....

Or you can use Napisan, but it is a little more aggressive to the environment

you don't need to add anything with a cassette toilet, you only open the trap for the flush job done

I have been given some samples of a WALEX product called "Porta-Pak deodorizer and waste digester".
They are small blue sachet thingys you drop into the waste tank.
They claim unbeatable odour prevention, are biodegradable and formaldehyde free.
I like the price, so I'll try them.

Sodium Percarbonate is essentially an oxygen based bleach. (found in Napisan, etc.)
It is an oxidising agent, so be sure not to mix it with combustible materials, you may have a fire.
A fire would be doubtful in use, given that there will also be liquid involved, but be aware for storing the stuff.

Didn't think you were supposed to use bleach products in the cassette toilets, I'm sure it is stated in the instructions that it can harm the plastics used,
