Is special detergent required when used in an rv?

I don't think so it can take either powder or liquid. Our machine is on a fishing boat we use it out at sea and in heavy weather, most washing machines can't handle that, so far so good.

Tide! No need to go buy fancy suggested diaperonly detergent. Tide and no fabric softener. Dry on med heat or line dry!

I never used special detergent and never noticed a drop in absorbency. But then again, I also wash my cloth diapers with regular detergent too.

I use it as an ordinary rv holding tank treatment. I dump and rinse my tank when it is full, and before parking (not using fit a period of time). The treatment helps break down material and control odors, it's not harmful and can stay in as long as need be.

Before I wash it each time, I hang it us and spray it with a hose. Then I only use minimal detergent. Yes. Use soap

Yes. I just run hot water through it. I don't use detergent just because I have this thing about lingering taste of the soap.

According to this article you can. But it appears Kem-Tek has the same chemical for about 6 bucks less.rvbasics.com/techtips/sanitizing-your-rv-fresh-water-system.html

Just keep it rinsed. Have never gotten it dirty enough to be a problem. Have only owned it a couple of months. Cheap enough to replace if it gets messed up badly. Matter of fact; I bought it as a replacement for the failing one in the used camper I recently purchased.

Laura, you will only need one unit. Rotate the unit front to rear on your own schedule. Mine works better than I would have imagined. If you smoke, have pets, mildew, etc...no problem. In a couple of days of intermittent use, the RV will smell like a field of daisies, just clean and nothing else. Resist the urge to sniff the ozone, it will neutralize your sense of smell for a while. Happy trails.

I have only used the Walex and the sample given when purchased the RV but you do need to use them regardless of the tissue used. They prevent smell from the tank and clean as well. Don' forget to purchase something for the grey water tank as well. You will put that in your sink. You will get smell from those areas as well. We bought some from Amazon (don't remember the brand)that helped and we received a packet that you dissolve in water then pour into the sink from our RV dealer.

If the washer is out of warranty or you don't care if the washer company might make a big deal of using a non-HE detergent, just keep using it. Don't use more than you need or you'll get sudsing that'll reduce the effectiveness of the cleaning. I've been using this in my last two front loaders that recommend HE detergents with no problems. I never use more than the first line on the cup for even large loads. If you get excess suds, use less next time.

I have used it separately because it said it is laundry detergent. I will say it is not meant for cleaning so much. I use it for my bedding and for my towels and washcloths. I've come full circle. I use the standard detergent first and the allergen last.

You have to use special marine paper ..........which you can buy at a Walmart cheaper than a RV place.

This is exactly what you want. Use thetford liquid from a rv dealer because it has formaldehyde. The thetford has gas relief valve that automatically neutralizes the pressure so it doesn't balloon up. You do not have to dump it every day like a Sealand. I use a Thetford in my 60 foot diesel motor home and dump in public toilets. Much better than paying $50 a dump and driving forever to find a legal dump. Its perfect for a boat.

Should not be needed if the jacks on your RV are in good working condition.

Yes, it should work fine. Keep in mind the system generates pure oxygenated air which has a certain scent we are obviously not used to due to all the impurities we breath in all day however, since you do notice the difference once the ugly odors are gone. you can air out the RV by simply opening the door for a few minutes after the system is off and voila! and the pure oxygenated air will dissipate a bit. Voila! fresh clean RV

Being new to RVing I wanted to do everything that was recommended to use in our new travel trailer. I have a clear fitting that connects to the sewer connection that gives me a visual of what is going thru it. I can see the disolved paper going thru it. We got such a good deal on the Scott Rapid Dissolve from Amazon by the case that it just was not worth it to take a chance. A Plumber once said that a "Flush beats a Full House". I also use the recommended tablets in the tank to help break down the solids.Happy Camping
