Black water tank
New owner of a BlueRidge and wonder if I should use a chemical additive to the black water tank? Even if I drain it and rinse weekly?

Used these last season, seemed to do the job with odors.

Link is for Cabela's but I got them at Walmart.

Black tank chemicals
I believe the value in using chemicals in the black tank is, that they help breakdown the solids in the tank, so that you get better results when draining and flushing the black tank.
