Taking Care of Your Motorhome Septic System!
The waste water system in your motor home is made up of sinks, tub, shower, toilet, plumbing drain and vent lines, a "gray water" holding tank, and a "black water" holding tank. Generally, water from the sinks and shower drains into the gray water tank; the toilet drains into the black water tank. The holding tanks make the system completely self-contained and allow you to dispose of waste water at your convenience.
Often, the biggest problem with these systems is the control of odor and the prevention of grease buildup. Therefore, it is necessary to use products to assist in the control, breakdown of waste and removal of odors. Older products used formaldehyde to prevent odors. However, many septic systems can't break it down and it has a nasty habit of killing "good" bacteria. As a result, nearly all campgrounds and dump stations prohibit the draining of formaldehyde into their sewer systems.
A nice, modern alternative is Biocope’s enzyme-based product that uses live bacteria to digest odor-causing agents and break down solid waste. Biocope is designed to accelerate the digestion of organic material while maintaining a low environmental impact and low toxicity. Since Biocope is an environmentally friendly product, it is safe to drain at approved campgrounds and dump stations.
PLEASE ... PRACTICE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING WHEN DRAINING WASTES AT A CAMPSITE OR DISPOSAL STATION. LEAVE THE SlTE IN GOOD ORDER. ABOVE ALL, DO NOT POLLUTE
