Alternatives to Black Water Tank chemical treatments

[A32Deuce]

I picked up the Blue Streak at the first International we went to. No smells, also use lots of water.

Also, we add inexpensive fabric softener after each dump, (keeps everything slippery and saves a ton of money for 'Digesters).

It is also important to use toilet seal lube periodically for both the Toilet seal and, (as it flows through the tank), the dump seals as well.

None of these methods, (as far as I know), would be harmful to the Park's Waste Systems; they may very well help).

I'm hoping you meant to say water softener. Fabric softener is something entirely different and won't keep anything "slippery."

I agree. Not impressed with geo method, and it is expensive. I have also used SeaZyme, which cost the same as digest-it, and is a powder, therefore less weight. However I have only seen it at the Goshen Rally, not in any stores.

Blue Streak System and add few cups calgon bath beads.

Also I flush the black tank every weekend.
