My pet hate is being downwind from those stingy people who wont spend the few Bob it costs to treat the toilet with the right stuff. Have they no sense of smell??? A big bottle of blue costs about £12 and lasts a season. Who cant afford that???

Not so much the person using the blue but the unfortunate person that owns the septic system you pour your polluted waste into.
It will cost them far more than £12 to re-establish their system.
 
It is a personal choice usually made actually because of the chemicals involved, not the cost. I hate the smell of the blue and as posted, it messes up septic tanks. The alternative use of washing liquid etc smells much nicer and does not mess up systems.

Perhaps you could consider that products have moved on since . Each to their own. ‘Spose there’s no right or wrong way.

Probably not. Odd cassettes will probably have no impact whatsoever, if a lot were to get emptied then a few pots of yoghurt or sor milk can usually set the bacteria going again.

you can get green fluids and non bio washing products that are septic tank friendly
 
Personally I just don’t like using chemicals where I don’t have to. Our life style is so full of chemicals already and where possible I try to cut them out. Even if yogurt sorts out the septic tank those chemicals are still in there and have to go somewhere else when the tank is eventually emptied
 
The bio washing tabs break down body waste, think blood on a towel. Also it will wash the inside of the cassette.
 
Well I only empty my 'blue' cassette in the proper designated places. If my excrement didn't smell/ contain any bacteria like that of the aforementioned very unique persons I might be inclined to try going chemical-less. But until then, I'll continue to respect the environment in this way.

Clearly you know what’s best for you. Carry on,
 
I use woodchips from my Chainsaw Cedar especially has a wonderful aroma.
 
I use Morrisons savers bio powder (about 150 grammes per charge) and have a very sensitive nose. I don't like the smell too much but it is vastly preferable to some of the others I have been too close to when emptying especially a german SOG user I encountered, cor what a stench, I had to leave the area for ten minutes.

Bio powders etc can stop septic tanks as well.
They might be less powerful than standard chemicals but not a free pass to avoid proper empty points if provided.

This thread reminded me to get some more One Chem. I just got 2 x 1litre bottles for £17.99 off Fleabay. The same offer is also on Amazon as well.

I normally pay 10-11 quid for 1 bottle so this is a decent saving.

I used to use Bio tablets but when I was in warm weather this year I found they didn’t mask the smell.
Back onto green now, I use Aldi if I can get it as the smell is ok.
 
Well I am still very happy with my composting toilet, no chemicals, no mess, no fuss, no smell, and no visiting the elsan emptying point! :poop::poop::poop:

It's because I have a good sense of smell that I won't use the blue stuff, stinky horrible smell. I also don't like getting blue hands and anything else turned blue that it comes into contact with, I had a bottle once that leaked everywhere and it was a night mare, couldn't get the stain out of clothing or from the plastic fittings.

Non-liquid is much better for carrying in the van, no spills. I use non-bio laundry detergents as the bio stuff isn't good for septic tanks.

I would like to use the green tabs but, at well over a quid per dose even at ebay prices, that would cost me an awful lot of money, not just £12 a season - what is a season? I go out all year round, on some quite long trips, and empty my loo every other day so that would be about £6 a week minimum.
