    We use one of the natural enzyme products - no clogs, no odors, and no issues. The secret to avoiding sludge is the golden black tank rule: lots and lots of water and flush your black tanks multiple times when dumping. Kleen Tanks "exclusive" jetter is not exclusive and they are not the only cleaners around. I am an independent tank cleaner and have a 1500 psi jetter, the same high pressure hose, and jetter heads.

In hot and humid weather, you can double the amount added. Always follow the tank solution with some water (one to three gallons) so that it gets thoroughly down in your tanks (both black and gray).

    This is basically a variation of the Geo Method for maintaining RV tanks without the occasional use of bleach. The reasons for not using bleach seem sound. I'm curious why the use of bath pearls rather than the traditional Calgon water softener. I was not aware of the Kleen Tank service. I might have to give them a call to clean the tanks of my used, but new to me, RV.

    I love this guy, Mr. Kleen. Both of you good sirs, are doing a great justice in the world!
    haha I am tempted to have a Kleen associate come out and meet me at one of my next Oregon Campsites. My trailer is a 2022 coleman light 1805RB with a 28 gal black. around June of 2023 we started getting an odor in the trailer after I dumped the tanks. It would stick around for a while even after adding back in a few gallons and treatments. Just before our last trip in October of 23, I made up a batch of Kleen juice (learned about through this channel!) and added that to my tanks after dumping them.....Before our first trip of 2024 ill probably add more juice along with 10 gals of additional water, then dump once we get to site and hook up. I am really hoping to get a handle on that dank stank.

    As a certified and insured RV technician working on RV's since 2009. The only thing exclusive about this video is it is misleading. This video sounds like they are paying each other. What Calgon and a cap of pin sol is free with a tank treatment? WOW!! Sign me up. I highly recommend the use of the natural enzyme products - never a clog or odors. Sludge or poop slurry means that the tank does not have clumps of poop and toilet paper or fat because it was LIQUIFIED. Yes use regular toilet paper! Use lots of water and flush your black tanks. The "exclusive" jetter is not very exclusive. A tank cleaner has to have a electric pressure washer that goes to 1500 PSI. Kleen tank is not doing anything more or less than all the other cleaners. outside of marketing and franchising. There are many certified insured independent tank cleaners that have a super cool 1500 psi jetter and we all do it the exact same way with a high pressure jetter hose, and high pressure jetter nozzles.

    The best way to keep down black tank odor is to keep 2-3 inches of water in the bowl after each flush. Periodically I rinse the black tank with an rv water wand until clean water comes out. We use pinesol and will now try calgon.

    I use 1/2 cup of borax and dawn each and I dissolve that in a bucket of warm water and I dump that down the RV toilet with plenty of water. No smells and it keeps the black tank liquified. You don't need a lot of borax, just a little. It's called the bio-geo method.

    • @kleentank
      @kleentank 2 месяца назад

      Yep. Just be careful of Borax. It's an extremely caustic chemical. In our opinion, Calgon Bath Pearls are a much better (and safer) option.

    • @kleentank
      @kleentank 2 месяца назад

      Absolutely! It breaks the surface tension of water, making water "watery-er" (is that a word?). Just like the old Calgon bath TV commercial, surfaces in your tanks become slippery and resistant to waste sticking on them.

Then I fill with clean water using the “flush” port. When I dump that, it’s all clear water. Is that a good idea? How do I effectively clean the grease build up in the grey tank?

    Kleenexes Tank is a good service, but the digesters info isn't real that great. If you flush well after each trip and dump 10ls of ice and a cup of Borax when traveling to your camp ground, your black tank will work well. Also if possible add a cup of Dawn dish soap to your grey tanks, and fill them with hot water, let them sit over night of possible, and drain and flush, and your never need a service like Kleen Tank

      Personally, we think RV owners use more than enough detergent that gets into their tanks. There's no need for more. In fact, over time, a super concentration of detergent can gel up and concentrate, causing clogs and other problems. Get a professional cleaning, use our tank solution and use plenty of water and you'll do just fine.

    Really wasn’t sure why I clicked on this video. I’ve been full time RVing for just over three years now and have been treating the black tank like a septic system. Tank treatment, try to top it off with plain water just before dumping but rarely a complete rinsing. I would imagine if I have any buildup it would be on the ceiling and maybe in the corners of the black tank. The relatively small tank looks pristine inside after just dumping. Obviously cannot see the ceiling or corners, but I can say when I changed dump valves a few months ago there was no buildup on the tubing leading up to the tank. (I have one of those swivel 2 into 1 dump valves that I actually do swivel up for the added ground clearance so yes the seal started dripping from the grey tank side. 2 seals in three years is okay for me) Call me lazy, but the little money I spent on treatment does a good enough job with odors and cleaning out the tank between dumping. Maybe I’ll borrow a borescope sometime and check the ceiling and corners. Or just wait until I either quit full timing or sell the camper to get a professional cleaning(if needed).
    Good video though!

    For a few weeks my Black Tank sensors kept giving me a full indication reading after dumping numerous times. I poured some white vinegar with dawn dish detergent & baking soda down the toilet ( full with fresh water 30 gal tank ) & let it sit for 30 min, dumped it again & it was back to normal. And yes more Sludge 💩 came out. BLT Rv'ers 🤗

      Good question! We've ran extensive tests over the last 10 years, trying all versions of Pine-Sol (and equivalents) and Calgon (bath, laundry, dishwasher, water softener). We've found the Calgon Bath products -- and the Pearls, specifically -- to have the best results.

    Ok …. Years I’ve been doing this???? I use thetford liquid. I dump tank then flush tank 7-8 times flushing from top of toilet and also the clean out on side of trailer filling to top of toilet. Then I leave cap off on main line and let dry for several days. I cap ? Then put my liquid thetford with 3-4 gallons of water back in tank.. and ready for my next trip. After 30 years of same procedure? I have never ever had any problems? I also flush grey the same. I do not need to waste money on all these expensive chemicals…

    @EarlBalentine 3 месяца назад +1

    Usually the smell is caused by bad "Air Admitness Valve or a tank vent is obstructed. If vents are blocked when you dump your tanks the tanks being drained with cause the P-traps to empty and smell with come up thru the sink drains.

    National Rv Training Academy did a RUclips video comparing black tank additives. They actually recommended them.

    • @btorr2945
      @btorr2945 3 месяца назад +2

      So I image to each his own applies here. The first video I saw them do was with Unique. I have been using that three years now. (Full time RVer) Does a wonderful job for me controlling odors and treating the solids. Saw the comparison video and thought I’d try Liquified because it did “liquify” better. For me though? It did not control the odor like Unique did. But? To each his own. I am sure you know everyone is different Including diets. Your crap may stink “differently” than mine.
      Otherwise, 3 years plus and no ill effects on the RV system. I do however just have a basic system. Toilet, tank, tube to dump valve. No sensors to worry about. I’ll also add Liquified is enzyme based while Unique is bacteria based. Both are “supposed” to be safe.

      I wondered about that too, having just come from the NRVTA myself. Bacteria are there to help digest and PineSol can kill them, which has me wondering. I’ve tried this home grown recipe and yes my tanks smelled great, but it did have me wonder.
