- Today we will test 3 popular RV tank Treatments against just plain water over 72 hours and see what the results are!
Unique RV Digest-IT
Happy Campers
TST MAX Drop ins
Each had its pros and cons so watch and decide which is best for your situation!
Thank you very much for taking the time to make this comparison video. Gave me some great information.
Great video! I always wanted to know about these products. A must watch for every rv'r. Thank you!
Thanks for giving RV Digest-It a try! We always love seeing people put it to the test. Happy camping!
wow thanks for checking our video out! you have a great product here and have been very happy so far in the real world also!
I have tried them all but RV Digest-It in my opinion works the best. Makes a huge difference when you have 4 adults staying in our 5er and you need to dump a little more often than usual.
What effect does RV Digest-it have on struvite? Does is assist in slow removal? Prevent build up over a period of a year? Full time traveling folks need to know. Thank you
@@22howards Hey Chip! RV Digest-It won't contribute to a build-up in struvite. Struvite is created when an abundance of anaerobic bacteria off-gas and then that gas hardens. RV Digest-It eliminates anaerobic bacteria inside the tank, so it will help prevent struvite. It will also soften any existing struvite over time. I also saw your comment below... keep in mind that Tank Techs is bacteria (a good thing), and Happy Campers is zinc sulfate monohydrate (an antibacterial sanitizer.... BAD!), so you're literally killing all of the bacteria inside the tank (including Tank Techs!) whenever you put Happy Campers into your tank. Just thought I'd pass that along as a helpful tip :)
@@uniquecampingmarine thank you for the education/ clarification. In a nutshell, I’m wasting money
Thank you for doing this!! Very good !!
Thanks for this helpful information!
Good video.
We've been using TST for years . It's O.K. But not totally satisfied. So I'm going to give Unique a try.
What I’m looking for is the effect on struvite. Have you ever heard of tank techs? This is also a large concern for RV holding tanks. Living in Florida I need something to keep the odor in check. We mix tank techs and happy campers to address both odor and struvite build up. Trust me you change one black valve assembly and you will see struvite and the effect it has on both grey and black tanks. Thanks for the test
Are you a scientist by profession? Very helpful. Unique seems to be the winner.
lol nope but i am a research and data analyst by trade. thanks for the kind words! happy camping
"Hey TH-cam"... who's TH-cam? "RV Diget it?" LOL
Thanks for making this video.
I found it very helpful for us. We are wondering which product to buy, this has helped a lot.
However, I am not sure if it is wise to mix 2 products together. As you mentioned, one of the products (Happy Campers) says NOT to mix other products with it right?
I mix the tst pouches mentioned in this video and rv digest it in my motorhome. I follow directions of both. Works like a dream! Been doing this for over a year in my class a. I did a similar test as this video using mason jars and mixing rv digest it with tst, thetford, etc... 6 different brands. Found that the tst orange and rv digest is by far the best. Breaks down everything
@@CatFoodDraino Thanks! I've been wondering if I can mix these two. Gonna give that a try!
Well best to wait several days or at least 2/3rd full on black tank then do fill with clean water and dump again. Then we usually throw in an orange pack with about 5 gallons of waterand let it slosh around as we drive to next site.
in a perfect world yes but if your only camping for a weekend you simply do not have that option. we do make sure to use enough water during our stay though . thanks for watching!
Would love to see a comparison between Unique & RV Digest it just science
Great video content, however, too long. Check out Project Farm to see how he speeds through some of this. You should make more RV testing videos. I appreciate how thoroughly you went through each step. Just make the videos snappier and you'll be doing awesome.
I agree. Very informative, but very long. Try to hit the 12-min mark in your videos. Thanks for your time.
Project Farm is a little too long too. A lot of times I just skip to the conclusion.
I only use double ply toilet paper. Cottonelle. Try using a double ply TP for this experiment. Then, it would be more accurate.
That single ply you tested with, is way too thin and anything will dissolve that.
A double ply would have been a more accurate testing subject, with better results in saying which brand is best.
thank you for watching. it was 2 ply , not cottenell fluffy level but sply great value (walmart brand) . .yes different paper will react differently . this is just how i tested it with what is used in our trailer. results can and will vary with paper, environment, chemical levels, size and shape of tanks, ect.
thanks for watching!
It did not appear that the Happy Campers was dissolved prior to adding the paper and food.
i was very surprised with happy camper myself but it does work for smells in the real world!
im thinking of revisting this after camping season here and i have the time i can dedicate to an update
thank you for the feedback
Just my opinion. A holding tank is supposed to be just that. It is not and should not be treated as a septic tank. What does that mean? It means no breakdown it needed. Happy camper even said it is for septic tank.
For those that use these, I’m pretty sure you are also saying that the sensors don’t work because they are no good. Mine work just fine.
it is 100% a holding tank and dont disagree with that but emulsified will always flow better and less chance of clogging or leaving "Stuff" in the tank. you really just want to break it down for flow reasons. great point!
Wow, we're coming in really late on this... thanks so much for the mention. When doing tests like this with HappyCampers, make sure to test them in the holding tank here's why;
