Cold Weather... does the blue stuff...

[saint-spoon]

Does the blue stuff that you put in the toilette cassette freeze at zero degrees Celsius or do the chemicals act as an antifreeze? I was thinking about this when we were last out and I looked on the bottle but there was no information on the freezing point.

Put a bottle in the freezer and find out (and let us all know, I'm interested)!

Formaldehyde freezes at -92 degrees C so I suspect it'll stay liquid for some way below zero.

Not sure I'd recommend filling your water system with it for the winter to protect the pipes though

No, that would not be such a good (or cost effective) solution to frozen pipes.

Now I am wondering about the pink stuff as well.

We have always kept the blue in the front locker and never had any trouble.

Well put one of those in the freezer too then!

Jules you truly are an inspiration.

Come on, you've not got time for chatter, there is important scientific research to be done! :woohoo:

I have never thought about it , but in France two years ago we had 0c to minus 5 for about a week and had no problems with pink or blue. , just being inside the van will raise the temp of the comfort seat.

I didn't think it had formaldehyde in it any more??

We've been out in -12 with no blue problems.
