Hi all, I have just seen a video suggesting to use a Bio washing tablet in the toilet cassette in stead of the using blue liquid.  I was wondering if anybody had heard of this or tried it?

As I said the will break down if I use hot water. I have tried the shaking gentle and vigorous with cold water but no joy.

Dave it HAS to be the BIO tabs, if you try the NON BIO ones they don't work.

Like others on here we've been using them for years now and find them much better for breaking down solids and much less calcium build up in the lower tank.

The Lidl and Aldi ones do seem to give the best results, so we stick with them.

I think it is important that they are the liquid filled pouches/capsules as they dissolve very easily.  IMO,  calling them "tablets" could be a bit misleading.

Correct Kj I think that's were the confusion comes in.

The ones you need are the 'Bio Pods'  must say I prefer the Lidl ones.smile

Before switching to Lidil's Formil Biological capsules I used white vinegar every year to break down the calcium in the cassette. No need now.

Will any cheap Bio tablet/sachets do, or are you better stick to Lidl or Aldi?

Posted on 28/05/2020 12:42

I would have thought any cheap ones would do, as long as they are bio - I only use aldi ones as I shop there and they are generally about as cheap as they come!

I've never had a problem with a splash of pink & a splash of blue in the respective tanks ... 👍

dont use pink now, you get all that black stuff, use fabric conditioner instead, but blue is ok.

Dont often use onboard facilities for No2's and normally only number 1's overnight , but i dont think I could leave No2's rotting in the tank for more than a day, this being the case I am not sure that anything has the capacity to break down solids in 24 hrs undecided, what a horrible topic, off to get my tea laughing

I know the black stuff does occur, but the tiny splash per tank I use seems to be OK
