Keeping your RV waste tanks running smoothly takes some maintenance on your part. You can make maintenance easier and less time consuming if you use the proper sewer chemicals in your tanks. First, make sure you use RV or marine toilet paper in your RV because it is made to break down quicker, taking up less space in the tank. These specialty toilet papers also won't clog as easily as regular kinds.
Next, make sure you use some type of chemical to keep down odors and help break up waste. Many RVers use enzyme-based chemicals they can just add to the toilet periodically, which help reduce waste and odors and are extremely easy to use. These enzyme-based chemicals are much safer and less harsh than the old formaldehyde-based chemicals that many RVers relied on. Just make sure to use sewer chemicals and the right toilet paper in your RV to ensure less headaches with sewer maintenance.
