i recently purchased a caravan and the seller told me it is ok to use ordinary disinfectant in the flush and the cassette. can anyone let me know if this is ok or should i be using the proper stuff, could this damage my toilet ? thanks ;danny
Do not use any household cleaners on your flush or waste tank.Thetford only recommend their own brand of Pink Flush and Blue wastetank additives. There are many cheaper products you can use Pink or Blue from independent suppliers .I use these myself fom caravan shops or Marinas.
The flush tank can be treated anually with Milton Steriiser fluid up to 24 hours then rinsed out. The waste tank can be washed out with warm water and washing up liquid. Thetford also do a cleaning spray for about
i use thetford chimicals in the cassette ,for the flush water i buy the blue flush blocks that you put in a normal domestic cistern ,cut the block in half [place one half in a 5 litre container fill with water ,leave for a few days until dissolved ,fill up a 1 litre or smaller container ,pour about 250 ml into flush tank then fill up with water ,been doing it for years ,
I have always been told that the use of household bleach or disinfectant will cause the Rubber Seals to crack and as a result you will end up with a toilet that leaks.
Thetford and Aquakem add an addictive to their Blue and Pink fluids and this is to keep the Seals lubricated, thus extending the life and funtion of the relevant seal,
We use BioMagic - just add 50ml to the holding tank and 10-20ml per litre to the flush tank - we use half as much compared to Thetford Blue and nothing extra to carry for the flush tank.
It's the most effective formaldehyde-free toilet fluid we've tried.
