Blue toilet liquid source

[Charlieme]

Does anyone know of a source for large containers of blue toilet liquid such as 25ltrs ?

[Guest caraprof]

Was it something you ate? :-D

Try a boat chandlers or canal boat supplier. I did once buy a 10 gal drum from a marina/

[tonyishuk]

Try asking a portaloo hire company ?

[Jana]

I have been looking for larger quantities too. Store in garage refill small bottle as needed.

Not been able to find any either.

My only thought is that Health and Safety or Manual Handling regulations don't allow large quantities anymore. A lot of places will only only 5 litres maximum for this reason.

I am sure someone with more knowledge could let us know.

Scroll down almost to the bottom of the page and you will find the heading "Industrial Maintenance" and the second item in that section is;-

 

IN02 Porta Care Porta loo additive

 

Same stuff I expect - worth checking out to see if they will sell you a barrel?

But it's all quite nasty. I would urge all to consider one of the many available 'bio-additives' or a SOG type system. These break down the waste by increasing aerobic bacterial efficiency and undoubtedly minimise environmental impact. They also give the added benefit of being able to responsibly dispose of the cassette contents just about anywhere.

[Old Git]

Is the non-formaldehyde stuff nasty Steve? I got the impression it is much more bio-friendly.

 

If it is nasty, can you recommend any particular bio-additive please?

Dave,

I have to go out now so can't do this proper justice. Basically though, all of the bio-solutions work on the same principle, i.e. they speed up the activity of the bugs that eat pooh aerobically. Aerobic breakdown = no overwhelming smells.

All of the additives that rely upon chemicals break down the waste too; and do a good job of masking the odour. However, even the later generation ones mean production, carriage, handling and disposal of chemicals. However benign they are becoming, they are indisputably more environmentally deleterious than a biological solution.

You only have to look at how the Water Companies treat solid waste to see where the smart money is. They simply allow natural breakdown in oxygenated filter beds. No chemicals whatsoever!

we recently had a sog system fitted, and it was money well spent.

i was worried about all the reports warning about the smell when emptied, but have found it no worse than some of the well used cesspits on many a cl.

if emptied daily, there is very little smell at all.

SOG on new van works well. best solution I think.

 

french super markets do cheaper 5 litre containers of the blue stuff, along with all other detergents washing up liquid etc.....

Rang Stankem today and talked to one of the owner/director (and he was very friendly)

 

I asked about pick up as we aren't too far away and was quoted £25 + VAT for 25 litres. Which makes it just over a pound a litre. That was for their formaldehyde type.

 

DOn't know whether this helps anyone. A share with a friend could be a good deal.

 

[Guest JudgeMental]

Buy a SOG it will soon pay for itself - and avoid using nasty chemicals.

[Jana]

But it would add another hole to the outside of the van. Yes I know it would be on the cassette door but a hole still.

 

To some people the asthetics of the outside of their van is not important but it is to us. We even paid to have all the fridge vents, water cover, truma parts etc all changed from white to grey to improve the look of the vehicle. And tinted the rear windows to improve the look.

 

We don't have an awning or a status aerial for the same reasons.

 

Sorry you haven't managed to convert me but I do undersatnd your reasoning.

 

[crinklystarfish]

Good effort Judge. I take heart from the fact at least a few people out there are prepared to go the non-nasty-chemical route.

Good on you sir.

[Tracker]

Flushed with success after reviving an eight year old topic - is this a new record for taking the p - roverbial?

 

I had not realised that blue liquid had a source and the mind boggles at the thought of wading through bogs looking for it's source.

Its all rather chilly for outside toilet talk.

NOT ' Just about anywhere' Please ! It's what gets us ALL a bad name. ( 'reponsibly' added since my post !) Personally don't care a fig What liquid is used, I stick to Elsan Blue, BUT would not dump it anywhere but in the proper CD point. Would not have a SOG, even if YOU paid for it's installation.Whats with all the Aussie's using this site for Spam adverts ? OR, do they deliver hired toilets to the UK ? can't be much profit in it ? I would have thought, or am I just talking Shxx ?

Broadband speeds in Oz must be awfully slow if forum threads take eight years to get there.

Go careful Brock. I got called a Bigot and Narrow Minded by one Stalwart on here for saying motorhome owners who dump Blackwaste, especially in AONB, give us decent people a bad name
