Blue in the loo?

After reading notes on a few sites that are registered with CAMPRA (Campaign for real Aires) there are getting more Aire types sites throughout the UK which is a good thing. I notice that a good few of them state they are on septic tanks and request no use of blue chemicals in the black waste system.
I have been told by a pal that the use of clothes washing products instead of the blue additive is ok, if this is ok does any one know which one is best to use eg, Bio , non Bio, powder or tablets and how much to use. I know there are eco friendly green liquids on the market that are acceptable to use in sceptic tanks but being a tight Yorkshire man in this economic disastrous era we find ourselves in every penny saved helps.
 
I live in the country where there's no mains disposal so my neighbour and I share a septic tank, in order to keep it working we have to steer clear of many products, bio, bleach, some drain unblocker etc so I buy the toilet cleaner which states safe for my van loo depositing, I just imagine all sites have a septic tank and that way can't go wrong, there's quite a lot of the 'safe' products on the market but I know what you mean nothing gets cheaper when it comes to enjoyment time. 😏
 
No solids so no need to add anything.
 
We use Formyl Bio. Keeps everything clean and smelling sweet and cheap enough to discard every couple of days or so.
However, if I were building a van, and starting from scratch, I would definitely think seriously about a composting toilet.
Plenty of videos about the subject on Youtube, and just the fact that you only empty every two or three months has to be totally workable, especially for those of us that like to disappear for months at a time.

We were away for 26 days just now and only emptied twice, and it was only about half full both times.
 
If you don't use a toilet fluid, or have a SOG , the cassette may start to have a build up of scale formed by uric acid..

To prevent this, flush after emptying, and when laying up or not using for a few weeks, inspect and if required clean with Thetford cassette cleaner, rinse and leave the cassette dry ready for the next trip.

I've had to replace the cassettes in my last three vans that others had neglected.. not cheap
 
We just make good use of facilities when we have a chance, not too bad for me out of sight is good enough, Liz drinks a lot so more of a problem but we only really use it first thing and after parking up, the rest of the time there is usually somewhere to go.

I am looking for a female device that Liz can use to pee in and it be contained discreetly until there is somewhere to empty it.

I keep meaning to ask Trev.

What's it like on your planet? :D :D

Trev is right, Kev, although I think that that charming piece of legislation may have been repealed relatively recently, or replaced by a Public Order Act offence. Pity the Police don't prosecute the Councils and the Government for the disgrace of closing down the Public Toilets that make the commission of the offence necessary in the first place ...

Of course, we all know that pregnant women need to pee more often than most other people. And that's likely what led to the invention of the myth that it is legal for a pregnant woman to pee in a policeman's hat.

The myth is thought to potentially come from an ancient law, or – more likely – it's just been made up and has been passed down as a legal legend.

There appears to be no firm answer on the right, or otherwise, to pee in a policeman's helmet. But my post #18 looks to be heading in the right direction for an answer. The link is to an article in the Independent on the Law Commission's periodic 'Spring clean' and abolition of outmoded laws, but states at Item 4 that any right to pee is likely to be refused by the Police Officer; but that discretion on whether to prosecute be exercised, with the offence being for a breach of local Bye Laws etc
