Toilet fluid alternative

I'm surprised that you don't get any foaming or do you always travel with an empty cassette? I would have thought that with a half full one like ours often is it would be foaming over after a couple of hours' drive.

Put in a couple of capfuls of water afterwards cures that problem. I do the same when using Bio tablets to help get it going.

We use the Lidl variety the same as Kj and also have had no issues with foaming, even when traveling as Lutz mentions. We use just one tab. I would think it like the washing machine at home, where we use liquid rather than the tablets. As long as you do not use to much, everything is fine, over pour and you get lots of foam.

We always used Lidl pods. Always travelled with some liquid in there, maybe actual.use, took our MH off site, used whilst out too, but never had a foam issue.

I think i seem to recall nelliethehooker, adding 2 and hot water on his journey home to clean the cassette.

Interesting.

Oh course Merves wonderful thread, albeit l-o- n-g, how to make our hobby cheaper is probably lost in the depths of CT unsearchable archives 😢. Anyone have an update about him?

You'd drop the Lidl/Aldi tabs into the cassette via the main opening flap. Definitely no mess.

This can be done outside the van before slipping the cassette back into place, or by opening the blade from inside the washroom after it's been inserted.

I always check the flap opens and closes properly after every empty/recharge..

No, but It does vary

 If it was half full before a move, I would empty it, purely from the extra weight aspect, but it is always ready to use on a journey, with a pod and a couple of litres of water added, and a few litres in the flush tank, only plain water.

With the wash pods working out at less than 15p each, I do  not worry about emptying the cassette a bit early.   We use our own facilities most of the time so would normally need to empty every 24-36 hours anyway.  

The ordinary Formil bio pods are becoming a little more difficult to get in our nearby Lidl since they introduced the 3-in-1 pods with fabric softener, which also cost more.  We never use fabric softener in our washing machine.

Don't know whether that affects the working of the pods in the toilet, or maybe causes foaming.

We have one original container we keep for the caravan, OH has adapted it slightly to be easier to open than the new containers, and she fills that up with as many pods as possible before each trip.

Definitely no mess my way either 😉
