New Product 2020 - Thetford Grey Water Fresh (1 Viewer)

[Wombles]

Thetford Grey Water Fresh is a newly formulated product to get rid of nasty waste tank niffs! If anyone tries it please post & let us know how effective it is - some samples were given out at the recent NEC Show but apparently not on sale until early next year
Thetford toilet cassette tank cleaner is a very effective product so hopefully this one for grey waste tanks is too.

That version may be new but we have been using both Thetford and Elsan grey tank freshener to good effect for years.

Handy to know that those versions work well

It is meant to be a new improved formulation but the new name & image of a plug should make it a lot clearer that it is for grey not toilet waste tanks compared to the current one:

We drop a couple of bleach tablets into the sink and washbasin plug holes before driving home. Water going the plug hole dissolves them, creating a bleach solution in the grey water tank.

We don’t get problems with “niffs” even in the 30C+ temperatures in Burgundy in summer.

My grey water niffs when emptying, but doesnt smell in the van. Have some people got missing or no traps?

Mine has traps but they are not very deep particularly the shower one. They tend to become empty as you roll around islands especially. I still only use dishwasher tablets, it cleans the gunk in tank bottom and the smell. Zoflora occasionally

Oh TinaL saw Thetford Blue on line offer at silly money i.e £6.99 per bottle, so ordered 2 of them. When they arrived the first thing I noticed was that the label was a turquoise blue, not dark blue, further examination revealed it was a grey waste tank freshener, not a cassette freshener, so I now have 2 bottles down the shed, as we dont get a smelly grey waste tank, somehow must be my regular flush technique, along with leaving the waste tap open when the van is stored.
Tip: we never put the washing up bowl water down the sink, we empty outside the van to save food particles and grease going into the waste tank.

I will of course now use the Thetford grey waste stuff should we ever need to, but the tried & tested method of poring some biological washing machine fluid down the plug holes with a little water before going on a run out in the van seems to work for most on here.
