Bog chemicals

Has anyone tried the tablets or the blue bags in their bog rather than the liquid ?

I like the idea of carring tablets instead of the liquid , and can you get the pink (top flush) stuff in tablet form ?

Last couple of months we've been using Dri Kem granules in the bottom tank :shock:

They do the job just as well as the liquid variety but without any worries if the container tips over / gets knocked over in the cupboard. Haven't seen a similar version for the flush tank though. The granules were a bit pricey (£8 I think, from a local caravan place) but it looks like they're going to last for a good while :D

Blue bags

Hi ya,,,,,,,erm yes when we first got ourselves a potty I used the 'so called' disolvable blue bags,,,,,,,,,,,it was a messy job but I kept me shirt on.
The ones I bought where the real Mcoy Elsan thingies and even these were stuck together and bags leaked powder, so in the end i was guessing the amount of loose powder needed to do the job.

Personally I prefere the gallon can of liquid when replenishing the bottom tank fluids,,,,,I seem to be able to judge it easier when things get messy.

Regards

Fritz,,,,,,,

PS, I suppose the blue bags don't take up much room when compared to a gallon can of liquid......

I use the blue baggies, never had a problem with them, the container is nice and small rather than a large bottle. Think mine are Thetford Aqua-Kem ones, no issues with them sticking together, just chuck one in the bog dribble of water, slosh around jobs done :D

i just had to replenish my chemical supply, and i bought a "ultra concentrate" version of the liquid, a gallons worth in a half gallon can, but i always decant it into a even smaller bottle - storage is at a premium, and i dont use much, as i only empty the bog when its full, which its is, so i'll be trying the new stuff out this month, let you know next time i have to empty it if it worked........ should be about AUgust bank holiday time i think

In desperation - i ended up buying a litre of the CampingGaz chemical stuff. It was dirt cheap and i can see why - not very thick at all.

However, i havent actually emptied the bog yet - so can't tell if its worked.

Might have to do that before the techy.....

I've heard stories of you T'Onion - your a one.....
