3 Ways to Control Waste Water Odours
You're all set for some fresh air. You've got your motor home ready for the road, your fishing gear is packed and it's time to escape from stink city. But what is that odour? Oh no! Your black and grey water tanks came with you and within a few days, it smells like you brought stink city along with you! Is there a solution? You don't want to use any dangerous chemicals that produce fumes of their own, and you'd like to use something eco-friendly so that you don't transform your waste into toxic waste.
Zap odours easily. Yup. It smells. No, you don't have to become a plumbing expert. All you need are the right products and guess who's got them all? Enough said. Let's see just how easy it can be to control odours from waste water in you RV.
Fight Bacteria with Bacteria
You're going to the love the effect of Pure Power Blue. Do you know what's causing that smell in the first place? Bacteria are thriving in your waste water tanks. How do you treat bacteria without making your waste water toxic? More bacteria! Only this time, they're the right sort of bacteria and they're mixed with powerful enzymes: no dangerous chemicals, perfectly safe for your dear ones and won't interfere with septic tank systems at dump stations and camping grounds. Meanwhile, you can smell the difference.
It actually liquefies solid waste while breaking it down into innocuous components. You only need about two ounces of the liquid to treat your holding tank, so your gallon bottle should last for ages.
Pop a pill into the works
There's something humorous about the name 'Potty Toddy Tabs', but it's no joke - they really work. Pop an effervescing tab into your waste water to treat a full 50 gallons of black or grey water. Avid RV-ers will save on the bottle of 50 tabs or you can get a card with 6 tabs that should cover a trip or two.
The ingredients consist of environmentally safe ingredients. That's cool, but the coolest thing about these tabs is their ability to lubricate the seals in your waste water system. If you use them regularly, you shouldn't have as much maintenance on your waste water system since seals are usually the first thing to go.
Go with Nitrates
Once again, you're looking at a liquid formulation, but Eco Smart takes what little sweat it takes out of the measurement process with their toss-in sachets. If you're forever in your camper or fifth wheel, choose the gallon bottle and save. It's so safe to use that the materials safety sheet is positively boring to read - no thrills and spills there - and it breaks down waste in your tanks while eliminating odours.
Yes, it's a chemical, but it's an eco-friendly chemical that you can use with a clear conscience and never a worry in the world. Keep your environment fresh secure in the knowledge that your effluent won't cause problems for someone else.
