  • 1 capful Calgon water softener

Instructions:

  1. Fill the toilet bowl with water
  2. Add 1 capful of Calgon water softener to the black tank.

The Calgon water softener coats the side of the tank, making it slicker, which can aid in debris and waste not sticking to the sides. The laundry detergent helps to clean and deodorize the tank.

You can use the GEO Method as often as needed to keep your black tanks clean and smelling fresh. It’s a safe and effective way to maintain your RV’s waste disposal system.

Here are some additional tips for using the GEO Method:

  • Use the cheapest laundry detergent you can find. The detergent is not as important as the Calgon water softener.
  • Use a strong-smelling laundry detergent. This will help to mask any odors.
  • Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes. This will give the Calgon water softener and laundry detergent time to work their magic.
  • Flush the tank thoroughly with water. This will remove any leftover detergent and waste.

By following these tips, you can keep your RV black tanks clean and smelling fresh with the GEO Method.

Here are some other things you can do to prevent odor and clogs in your RV black tank:

  • Dump and flush your tanks regularly.
  • Use more water while flushing. Water is your friend for keeping down smells.
  • Always keep your black tank valve shut never leave open while camping.
  • These steps will also “help” in keeping your sensors to read correctly.

By following these tips, you can keep your RV black tank clean and smelling fresh, so you can enjoy your RVing adventures without worrying about odor.
