So sized just big enough for an RV? Sounds useful for a permanent camping spot.

Looking forward to more info, thanks.
Yeah, that Ellicott City flood was nuts. Made the top of the national news. As of yesterday the street is closed for 3 weeks as they completely dig it up and replace the utilities. A blessing in disguise considering how old much of that stuff is - make it all shiny and new in one shot. Nothing like the smell of a can full of picked crabs that has been baking at 95 F for a few days until the trash man comes!

That's a good question Stephen. I've written to TankTechs to see if we can get an answer. I've also asked about optimum storage for the product. Like yogurt, one would think it best to store in the fridge.
I'll pass on the answers when I get one. fred

Since it is a Prime item, I might order from Amazon also. Thanks for the report. It is good to find things that actually work. The only thing I don't like about it is the bottle. I think I would prefer smaller, single-use bottles or a bottle with a metering section to help measure and pour. Also, since it is supposed to have living bacteria, is there an expiration? I would hate to buy a big bottle and then have it expire and become useless in between camping trips. We are done with the big trips for the summer. The next time we expect to take the R-Pod out will be in December, although there might be a short trip or two before then.

I installed a small 100 gal. septic tank and leech line under my pod parking spot..I've installed many tanks so i'm sure this works well. we mostly dry camp, this saves lots of $$. My tank system only cost me 100$ to install. just make sure to keep enzimes working in tank.,Ridx liquid is awsome..

Thanks Stephen,
The ice thing just sounded kinda weird and sorta college prank thing fun. We do have a lot of windy roads before interstate so it almost made sense that it might knock some stuff off the tank walls. Prolly a waste (bad pun!). I bought mine from Amazon only cuz I'm an addict. fred |

Interesting. I looked on the web site. I may have to order some. Did you purchase direct, or do you have a store near you that sells it?
Don't bother with the ice. It does not do much of anything except waste your money. This video shows how useless ice is for cleaning the tank. |

Only a month or so, Doug. Since we got back from the best blue crabs ever! We were driveway camping right down the road from Ellicot City the night of the flood. Crazy rain that night! Anyway, it's been a month or so since I inoculated the tanks. Really, my grey tank was bad. Worse than picked blue crabs in a trash can for a week. Jury is still out, but I like the probiotic idea and it seems to have worked for me...so far. More report next month. fred P.S. Sounds like you had a great trip! Even the "bad" parts are good!! |
