Master the Art of Maintaining Your RV Cassette Toilet and Porta Potty with Happy Campers Treatment
In the world of outdoor adventures and RV travels, maintaining a clean and odor-free toilet system is crucial. Whether you're using an RV cassette toilet or an RV porta potty, the Happy Campers Holding Tank Treatment is a game-changer. This blog post will guide you through the process of using this treatment effectively.
Eliminating odor in a small 2-5 gallon potty toilet can be more challenging that a large 40 gallon RV/Marine tank.
Why? Confined space, no tank vent, no bathroom vent, little water. Overcoming the lack of water and oxygen is a big challenge. Happy Campers is unique in that it naturally eliminates odors at the source, no air freshener, fragrance, perfume, scent, aroma or chemicals.
The first step in using the Happy Campers Holding Tank Treatment in a cassette toilet or porta potty is understanding what it is and how it works. This eco-friendly, treatment is designed to break down waste and eliminate odors in your toilet system. It's safe for all septic tanks and is incredibly easy to use.
To begin, you'll need to empty your cassette toilet or porta potty. This is an essential step as it ensures that the treatment works effectively. Once you've emptied the waste, rinse the tank with water to remove any residual waste.
Next, prepare the Happy Campers Holding Tank Treatment. For a standard cassette toilet or porta potty, you'll need one scoop of the treatment and a little bit of water to prime the tank. Many people ask, "can you titrate the treatment down because cassette tanks are much smaller than standard RV holding tanks?"
The short answer is yes you can.
*We recommend using at least a full scoop even for 5-10 gallons cassette tanks.
Why? Because we're dealing with such a small area and a much smaller amount of water making it a little trickier for Happy Campers to do it's job.
That being said, if you want to try titrating the Happy Campers treatment down to make it last longer, start out by trying 1/2 scoop with 1/2 Gallon of water.
NOTE: General Cassette and Porta Potty Usage:
We Recommend the Strong & Wet Method (strong dosage + increased water)
Potty & Cassette systems are “non vented”, air tight. A stronger dosage (more Happy Campers) is required to overcome shortage of oxygen. In other words, increase the amount of water & product.
Instructions:
1. Thoroughly dissolve/mix 2 full scoops Happy Campers into approximately one gallon of water.
2. Pour mixture into waste (bottom) tank
3. Adjust dosage as needed. Increase if odor or hot weather
4. Flush as usual. If odor persists, increase pumps (water)
5. When practical, more water is better
This is a strong mixture that will eliminate 99% odor even in this oxygen starved environment. Our tests have shown most Cassette/Potty problems are solved by simply using more water. use plenty of pumps (water) while flushing.
Now, it's time to add the treatment to your cassette toilet or porta potty.
Mix the treatment with water until it's fully dissolved. Pour the dissolved treatment into the tank. It's important to ensure that the treatment covers the entire bottom of the tank. This allows it to effectively break down waste and control odors.
The following steps work great for models similar to the Zimmer Portable Toilet Camping Porta Potty - 5 Gallon Waste Tank and the Thetford C403 L Cassette Toilet in this first example;
- Close the Gate of the Cassette Toilet
- Pull the cassette out of your camper/trailer.
- Make sure cassette tray nozzle is pointing up.
- Mix 1 scoop of Happy Campers into a 1/2 or 1gallon container of water.
- Make sure the Happy Campers is suspended in water.
- Add that to the cassette tank.
- Depending on how big your cassette tank is you may need to add a bit more water.
- The goal is to make sure you have enough water to cover waste in the bottom of the tank and any solids.
After adding the treatment, use your cassette toilet or porta potty as you normally would. The Happy Campers Holding Tank Treatment will continue to work its magic, breaking down waste and eliminating odors.
One of the great things about this treatment is that it's long-lasting. That being said, with smaller tanks like cassettes and porta pottys, you're going to want to keep an eye (or nose) on the situation. Remeber, water is key to Happy Campers' effectiveness. If solids break the surface of the water you will notice break through odor.
When it's time to empty your cassette toilet or porta potty again, you'll notice a significant difference. The waste will be broken down, making it easier to empty, and there will be no unpleasant odors.
In conclusion, using the Happy Campers Holding Tank Treatment in a cassette toilet or porta potty is a simple and effective way to maintain your toilet system.
