Voyager1 here from Cape Coral, Florida.
A gem of a product with an answer to
many RV'er's black water tank prayers.
Odorlos Holding Tank Treatment
Yara - Odorlos - Holding Tank Treatment for Boats and RVs
1-800-869-8764
No masking odor and works great at neutralizing
black water tank odor via enzyme action.
Picked up a 68 oz container for around $20.00
Has an internal measuring cup built into the bottle
and 1/2 cup per 40 gallons of tank size.
No formaldehyde and 100% Biodegradable.
We are between motorhomes now but have
a Thetford Electric Porta-potty in our 2000 Chevy
Express conversion van.
Every thing we tried before got quite ripe smelling
within 3 weeks in the hot, summer Florida heat.
Then we came upon this jewel of a tank treatment
at West Marine. For this we are most grateful and
wish to spread the good news to fellow RV'ers.
Prior to using this product, we had used the Thetford Blue
formaldehyde holding tank chemical, then tried the orange
citrus based chemical, neither suppressed the odor very long.
Now this product which I have no affiliation with,
was the first that worked for us and wished I had it
back in 1991-1995 when full-timing in our 21' Cortez Motorhome.
Below is information was taken off the container,
you might find it at Camping World or RV supply houses.
Here is the entire text from the back of the bottle:

If anyone is a chemist perhaps they could reverse engineer this by chemical analysis - then you
could make it yourself for pennies.
Some folks have used Rid-X (found in grocery stores),
for home septic systems and holding tanks on boats.
That might work great as well - I believe it has the digestive
enzymes, Trypsin and Chymotrypsin in it - which interestingly enough
are major digestive enzymes found in Pancreatin extracted from hogs.
Dr. William Donald Kelly DDS who wrote One Answer to Cancer maintains that Chymotrypsin
is an agent which can stop the progression of cancer and used it successfully for many years.
And wouldn't that be interesting, if in your little box of Rid-X septic cleaner, you had a solution
for reversing cancer?
All good wishes and happy odorless motorhoming adventures!
