Being new to the RV world, we hear that it is best to add treatment to control odor & to promote proper breakdown of waste, especially in the black water tank. My wife picked up two containers, one for black water treatment & one for grey water & I have a few questions. First, is this product adequate for what we want......mfg name is Camco? The black water treatment states to add approx 2oz to the tank, followed by a couple quarts of fresh water.
I am assuming that this is carried out when the tank is empty? It says for extreme heat that the quantity can be doubled to 4oz.
For the grey water, why is it even necessary to add odor control, as the sinks & shower all have traps, putting them on a level playing field with domestic sinks & showers in our homes & it is never a problem there?
We have not used the black water portion yet as the rv is parked on our property, but we just bought one ply toilet paper for when we do travel (heard varying reports on that RV paper vs just regular one ply) & I wanted to ask if the one ply is ok to use, as it is so much more economical?
