Thanks Gary. We've been using mostly olive oil for many years and the current seals are 7 years old and still good. I have used rubber grease a couple of times, but the olive oil is alsways more handy when I remember

any silicon spray can be used...loads of them on Amazon

Hey Maxine, any commercial cleaning supplies, Amazon or Ebay ... or if you have a friendly hotel, restaurant or commercial business owners on your friend list, they'll usually have them (new), they arent worth much. We just use Sodium Percarbonate (laundry soaker/nappy wash) in the tank with a few drops of eucalyptus or tee tree oil. The Soduim Percarbonate is environ friendly not that we're Greenies by any stretch but it cant hurt to do what we can, and means the tank can be emptied into septics and long drops.

Hey Tony. I give the cassette a thorough clean once a year, including lubing all the seals. I also lube the seals maybe every 4 to 8 weeks when we're using the van

@@Vagare Thanks!

Ha, not quite the response i get from my wise wife

Im my case, that someone is always me 😁

Howdy, they dont sell individual parts but you can buy just the closing mechanism as a complete replacement for around $80

@@Vagare Thanks a lot.

Ohhh, and where did you purchase your commercial toilet biscuit plz?

Hey Kate, you shouldnt get water under cassette unless the cassette is overflowing, cracked (unlikely) or leaking from somewhere. Youll need to establish if its water or "otherwise" to track where its comming from. I got my biscuit from a friendly business but any commercial cleaner or supplier will have them

Thanks so much for your reply. Its has traces if the chemical in it, so it could be from when I pull the cassette out maybe??

@@Keturah53 fill the cassette 70% with water and a little food dye, close it all up and let it sit in the sun on concrete. See if and where any leaks are

Thank you so much, I will do that tomorrow , hopefully the sun will be back out.

Hey Victor, yes the handle pulls out to enable you to roll it around like the Devil's suitcase. Holding tbe button down during the emptying process allows air to enter the cassette. This stops "chugging", encourages a smooth flow and reduces the potential for splash back

@@Vagare Thank you! Ok, i guess i must try to pull it out a little harder, cause it was stuck.. I'll try again, thanx man👊

Caravan toilet cassettes generally have a 17 to 20ltr capacity. With a few variables at play youll have to do your own math with how many visits. What more important to us is regardless of volume trying not to go past two days before emptying

Hey Kevin. My advise would be to avoid that. Youre very likely to split the flimsy guides on the top of the mechanism, and for what looks like $3.50 worth of plastic is pretty expensive to replace

Hey Michael, theres i small magnet float inside the cassette tbat lines up with a sensor located inside the caravan hatch. The float rises, the sensor detects the magnet and activates the light

Hey Jay, you absolutely can. I remove the sliding cover only because it slides in the direction of the pour, theyre expensive and i don't want loose it into the sewer. As far as being exposed to the nasties, you can only avoid that until they all come out the pour spout 😄

@@Vagare Great tip. Thanks. I'm new to this getting my shit together and pouring it down the drain.

Is it a Thetford toilet

I love your work
