Campervan Toilet Chemicals

[@johnmandy]

Best video I've seen on youtube in ages, watching a load of shit and being entertained - priceless. Best takeaway from the video was knowing "It's not blue, it's brown" 😂

[@CampervanTales]

Glad you enjoyed it, best bit for us on watching it back was the Mr Whippy ice cream van in the background. It conjured up so many images lol🐕🐕🍦🍦

[@lindsaybenison683]

We have used Aldi Bio tablets for years, they work for us. We saw a youtube video from Practical caravan where the expert recommended the bio tablets over the blue. Less harmful chemicals in the tablets. Thanks for the video, as you say a bit of fun with information as well. Take care both

[@CampervanTales]

Thanks Lindsay. Yep a bit of fun and totally agree about bio tablets being the way forward for the environment

[@CampervanTales]

[@sarahbrown5048]

Brilliant🤣 very informative, you definately give the myth busters guys a run for their money ... thank you both for your video's

[@CampervanTales]

Thanks Sarah. The question is.......what next?😉

[@ttxela]

Haha, more motorhome science. Excellent work chaps. Would have been interesting to open the lids and do a smell test too, a bacteriological count would also have been interesting as physically breaking down the structure of the waste is not the only consideration. The old blue liquid was formaldehyde based which is pretty lethal to most bacteria, spores and viruses. Biological detergents and the modern green fluids (and some of the blues) use enzymes which will help break down the fatty structure of the waste but won't be as lethal to the bugs.

[@CampervanTales]

Lol. I wasn't allowed to do the smell test. It was hard to persuade Keith to do this and he is a retired science teacher😀

Thx for vid ..but what is a bio cap..is it for washing clothes or dish washer?

[@CampervanTales]

Hi. It is for washing clothes

[@chevyboy9525]

Thank you for this realistic, no-nonsense demo. Everything makes sense. Only that I don't know what is the Bio-tablet, etc. Please list brand names of products. Not sure how expensive is the Blue. But the extra cost is worthy of the aesthetic cover-up?

[@CampervanTales]

It can be any bio washing tablet that you get from a supermarket. We just use Aldi tabs as they are cheap. The Blue is a lot more expensive just to colour poo. You could always add a bit of food colouring if you didn't like the brown

[@JohnnyBareToes2]

Interesting stuff guys. I am now wondering how much it would break down in just plain water ?

[@CampervanTales]

Not sure, over to you lol👍😉🐕

You could add blue food colouring to the biocapsule right? Would that get the desired colour?

[@CampervanTales]

Worth a try I guess next time.

[@tomdederen5893]

nice experiment, thanks. only now I wonder what it would have looked like without chemicals. I don't expect a difference, the blue or green chemical are only for the smell and not much more, (own experience after not using any chemical for for quite a while).

What about smelly. We tried the green chemical rather than Blue. It was ok but it stank after 4 days and looked very unpleasant to pour. So we have gone back to blue. Some sites only take green. Cheers from George and Jane

Was that household toilet paper or the chemical toilet type? Interesting experiment lol

[@CampervanTales]

It was household loo paper. That's what we have always used anyway. To be honest, we didn't know there was a chemical toilet type, so we have learned something there. Thanks for watching our toilet tales. Not our (ahem) usual type of video.

[@alant2419]

We use Lidl Bio capsules. Superior to the blue as it also prevents build up of limescale. With the blue I had to use a soak in white vinegar at the end of our four months touring to remove limescale build up in the cassette. With bio capsules no limescale.

[@CampervanTales]

I thi k we will be using bio capsules from now on because of price, environmental reasons and because of what you say.

[@flybyairplane3528]

Guys,I must say quite SCIENTIFIC, BUT YOU MISSED THE ‘SNIFF TEST’, They ALL seem to do the job , my vote is for a portable, with a ‘cassette tank’, roll it, or lift it to a public loo ! Cheers , from NJ, USA

[@CampervanTales]

I think the sniff test may be coming Leighton😉

[@linz_in_NZ]

I was waiting for the Yuck or Pong Ratings when you emptied them. Perhaps a good option would be to mix the blue and bio liquid - might be more pleasant to empty then? Most of the toilet stuff is bio-friendly here in New Zealand as many campsites are on a septic tank. Ironically its not much cheaper to buy eco-friendly washing liquid instead of the official toilet stuff, no Aldi or Lidl chains here sadly.

[@CampervanTales]

We have been asked to do a follow up, so watch this space. Somebody suggested adding a bit of food colouring to make it look more pleasant

[@billhoggy4461]

Great video lads. But anychance you can feel to see which poo loo has the finest bits😊 could add a cheap blue toilet tablet if it botherd people

[@CampervanTales]

Lol, we will send it to you to feel if you like😀 we can always visit to film it. Thanks for watching👍❤

[@mange2]

Great vid guys. I would have to add some food colouring. I couldnt stomach the brown colour lol.

[@CampervanTales]

Lol. What colour?😉

[@nesshead3051]

I wonder if the blue toilet blocks would work, maybe just as chemically bad or make the expense not worth the switch. Depends if your a full timer or a weekender I suppose.

[@CampervanTales]

Never thought of trying those. Worth a try though. Thanks

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

lol, very funny guys. Good info if on a budget. I guess a little bleach added would be ok as in small amounts it's even fine for septic systems. Sniff test needed so toss a double sided coin lol 😁

[@CampervanTales]

Lol. A quick sniff test video may be in the pipeline lol😉

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

@elnubnub A little bleach ( household and not in really High concentrations ) won't even harm the functionality of a septic tank as stated above, yes this surprized me too when I learnt this. After speaking to a farmer he said the same, it's not like lots of bottles will be poured into it at once, that would be bad. Bleach is harmful apparently to the rubber seals in chemical toilets so watering it down and avoiding pouring it down the bowl from the top hitting the flap with the seal should be avoided if possible. Hope this helps 👍

[@CampervanTales]

Even the insurance company recommend we put bleach or even anti freeze down the toilet when we drain the caravan down for winter.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

@@CampervanTales It is strange when you First hear about these things but once explained they makes sense. It's always great to learn new things anyway 👍

[@steveh4873]

I bet that bio capsule one smelt worse than the blue. I tried it in a loo and it was harder to drop the waste as the bio didn’t break the smell down and it was horrible haha. I stick with the blue stuff.

[@CampervanTales]

Lol. We didn't do the sniff test so can't comment on that. The stuff is fermenting nicely so we may have to do a sniff test

[@karencochrane6194]

You should use warm water with the capsules to dissolve them first. Brilliant video though lol 😂
