Jerry!! Thank you so so much for this excellent information. We are newbies with out 1 st RV. I always turn to you for advice. Your a lifesaver ♥️

Great to hear you found the video helpful.

@hogroamer260 Год назад

I don't shut off the water to fill the tank. Just set a dumbell on the foot petal. I also know exactly how long it takes to fill my tank to each sensor level.

@thomasforrester370 Год назад

We use Scott 1000 sheet toilet paper in house& camper that completely breaks down so this product should work great

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

We’ve used Scoot 1000 too. Prefer the softer texture of the Scott’s RV and Marine.

@uniquecampingmarine Год назад

Thanks for the review Jerry! Thanks for giving our toilet bowl cleaner a shot! 🙂

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

Works great.

@VanLoweLawnCare Год назад

I use Unique's products and love them. I do an annual black tank cleaning with the tank cleaner as a preventative. I also do a grey tank cleaning using dawn dish soap annually as well.

@greg9323 Год назад

Jerry, great information my friend. Due to your recommendation, I have used Unique for the past two plus years and no odor at all. Happy New Year.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

Thanks. Great to hear Unique is working well.

@allan6021 Год назад

Jerry, we use Unique’s liquid RV Digest-It after every tank dump. We also use the Geo Method to make the inside surfaces slippery. Finally, we also flush the black tank as often as possible. So far we are able to keep the sensors working well so that they read empty after flushing. We will have to try their toilet cleaner product, too. Thanks for that tip.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

Thanks Allan. We talked with others who use the Geo Method. Never had an issue with the enzyme only.

@carolpeck6872 Год назад

This product is fantastic. When we purchased our Mini Lite in 2019, we started using Happy Campers instead of the pods, which smells horrible. We saw you video a couple of years ago using this product. Started using it, and OMG, everything was liquified. We use the tank cleaner at the end of the camping season when we get ready to winterize our Mini. I recommend this product to everyone. I still put some Happy Campers in as well, and the combo is fantastic, not orders.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

Thanks

@captseamus Год назад

I use Happy Camper Toliet Additive. It works for me. Last trip of the season I tow home with twenty pounds of ice cubes in my 1/3 filled black tank. The ice breaks up any solids and the ice is melted when I get to the dump site. I dump the black tank and have factory washdown spray nozzles inside the black tank.

@jayshepard6505 Год назад

All good & well, but the links to each product of the unique cleansers all show sold out. Doesn't help me.

Apologies Jay. I'm late checking the links that were provided. I typically share the Amazon links. I updated, but here's a list if your still looking for the products.

@kevincameron8437 Год назад

I’ve been using the Unique liquid since you recommended it a while back and it works great. As weekend campers, this has been working great for us as our camper sits closed up for sometimes weeks at a time. I use about 3 cap fulls with 4 bowl full of water after we flush the tanks. When we open the camper the next time, no bad orders from a sitting black tank. Thanks for sharing

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

Great to hear the results.

@ronhadlock2966 Год назад

My wife and I are full-time RV’ers and we use the Unique products exclusively since we bought our Grand Design 3100RD new 3 years ago. I grade Unique an A+ concerning the breakdown of solids and the maintenance of sensors but I grade it a B-/C+ concerning odor control. We dump every 5-6 days and we use plenty of water. We are happy enough with the product line though that we won’t be switching anytime soon.

@iLoveRVlife 10 месяцев назад

Goodbye HAPPY CAMPER!

@nickthomas7818 Год назад

We will stick to our Happy Camper we found it to work the best even in warmer temperatures we do however use the toilet bowl cleaner by unique

@jos.4276 Год назад

We've used Happy Camper for years, but we don't like how it resists dissolving. I'm going to try Unique.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

The liquid is just pour and go. Easy to use.

@TonyBenton0728 Год назад

We have the TruTank system in our Riverstone it is a sonar system and never really have a problem with tank readings it is accurate to within 5% . We don’t have a problem with odor so I guess we are doing it right. Sometimes the gray 1 tank doesn’t read right off the bat could have some soap scum covering it sensor and the manual says to check the level of the RV. We use the geo method and that works well.

Spent 50 dollars on their products trying to clean sensors in 2 black tanks in our rig, did nothing. Haven't found anything to clean them so they read properly. Shop is going to blast out tanks in Jan when we get back from xmas.

@jos.4276 Год назад

After a while you learn that your tanks need dumping by the sounds they make. The toilet will kind of gurgle. The kitchen sink drain starts to slow down, and won't drain when full. Same with the bath/shower. Sensors aren't really important to us any more.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

👍

@jackzink740 Год назад

Thank you for the great tips. I have been using many of the Unique products for awhile. The one tip that I did not know was how to clean the sensors. I would assume this will also help clean the internal black tank flush nozzles. Thank you.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

Glad we could help. It dissolves all the gunk and should free up,the nozzles as well.

@jackzink740 Год назад

@@iLoveRVlife Thank you.

@ronhadlock2966 Год назад

Jerry I have a question on the toilet bowl cleaner. I see unique makes another one called scrub it 4:16 toilet bowl cleaner which is a few dollars cheaper, is there a difference in the one you're using to the scrub it one.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

Haven’t tried that one Ron. But the one in the video had very good results.

@gregoldham4424 10 месяцев назад

Would it hurt if I left the sensor cleaner for a week and then dump before we get to our site?

@iLoveRVlife 10 месяцев назад

Shouldn’t be an issue. It’s just an enzyme. Just be careful traveling with the full tank. That’s a lot of weight at 8.34lb per gallon.

@rodysk8 Год назад

my sensors arent working right! the fresh and the gray tank! any ideia ?

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

I’d try two different cleaning tasks. If you haven’t sanitized the fresh tank in the last few years, try this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jRJA4wdnFjI.html It’s possible there’s algae on the sensors. For the gray, use the same treatment I shared in the the video for the black tank. It’s possible there’s soap scum and or grease on the sensors.

@tjrosario9439 Год назад

Nice video as always. Does using dish soaps like Dawn that are anti bacterial affect the treatment?

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

Any soaps that have an anti-bacterial component will affect the treatment.

@dawnstraughen755 Год назад

Do you have a video on how to change and take care of the rubber seal? Ours is leaking and won't hold water anymore.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

I don’t have a video. Depending on the age of the RV and if the tanks have never had a deep clean, there could be a chance there’s build up interfering with the dump valve. You may want to try the tank cleaner first to see if that will help. The alternative is not a fun task and the seals and possibly the dump valve will need replacement.

@jimhullak5311 Год назад

Great video Jerry. We use unique since we started full time. Unique has another product on Amazon that is call a sensor cleaner. Did they not send that to you to try? Also do you use the entire bottle each time for the tank cleaned?

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

We wanted to give the tanks a good cleaning for the year. It cleans the sensors, bottom and sides of the tanks digesting any build up. For the cleaning, I use the entire bottle of tank cleaner.

@MrRocket654 Год назад

We don't have an odor issue and we use another power product however I do have a question about the cleaner. We are full timers, can you use the toilet while using the cleaner, Kind of hard not to use it for 12 hours when your full timers.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

No problem. We do. The cleaner is much stronger to do it’s job. Any added waste is digested through the next day.

@MrRocket654 Год назад

@@iLoveRVlife Thanks, we have never had an odor but think it's time we do a good cleaning other than the built in tank rinse where I am sure doesn't reach everywhere, however I do use the spinner rinse that you put on a hose and go down from the top about once every few months. Just ordered the tank cleaner and bowl cleaner.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

The swivel works, but a bit of a process. Using the tank cleaner once a year helps reach those areas that could be missed by the spray. One interesting note. A couple years ago, the Gateway 5th wheel dump valve had a little leakage. Thought I to needed to replace. Used the tank cleaner and suspect there was something that had built up near the valve preventing a complete closure. Dissolved and work perfect. Been using the cleaner once a year since.

@jimhullak5311 Год назад

@robh063 Год назад

I started using Unique Digest-it and was disappointed. The product claims to dissolve all solids to liquid, including ALL toilet paper. I ended up with a blockage so I added more of the product and waited 24 hours. It was still blocked. I had to buy a back flush valve to break up the blockage. When the contents came out, there was a lot of toilet paper that never broke up that had been in the tank for days. I also use the RV Scott's brand toilet paper. A mobile RV Tech I spoke with suggested a different product. I plan on trying it.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

We’ve used both Digest-It and Scott’s RV/marine toilet paper for 8 years. Never had a blockage and all dissolves. Not using enough water can be a culprit prevent the solids from breaking down.

@dawnstraughen755 Год назад

Can tis be used in the gray tank? Our sensors don't register anymore.

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

It can be used in the gray tanks.

@sealanderadventures Год назад

Jerry, can you use that cleaner for stinky Gray tanks? That's my worst smell. Thanks

@cmbowtie Год назад

Absolutely 👍. If you get the “digestit” liquid, it will tell you how to use for grays. We put one cap in our 65gal gray after every dump. Full timers

@iLoveRVlife Год назад

We use Digest-It in our gray tank after 3 or 4 dumps. If never used, the tank cleaner will give you a good start and rid all the gunk that’s built up.

@jimhullak5311 Год назад

One more question. You didn’t say but can you use the tank cleaner in the gray tanks also?
