Brilliant, thank you very much. At last someone who actually tells you what chemicals are required (or not required) in the cassette and in the toilet. Very well explained, in a good old English fashion, down to earth, so you know what you are doing. Fantastic, only took 6 u tube attempts to reach you!!!

@solrivers620 4 года назад

Fourth attempt for me! Great video 😀

Best advice I’ve seen.

@billalbion 6 лет назад

Thanks very much for the tips, especially the washing blocks as the chemical not cheap. There's always something to learn.

@anastasiahopkinson5676 6 лет назад

Thanks for a sensible method of cleaning a cassette toilet. Is a "washing powder block" a pressed block of laundry soap? Does laundry soap break down the waste matter as well as all those asty, smelly chemicals in the Blue bottle? Would a cup of liquid laundry soap be as useful and effective? May amonia be used instead of the Blue liquid or the soap?

@lvtaylortaylor9904 4 года назад

Good pointers

@exclusiveentertainmentuk5358 4 года назад

Very helpful and informative. I have damaged my cassette fitting area when removing the cassette is there anyone who can fix it? Thanks

@JP-xe7lg 2 года назад

Wow thank you so much for that. Just purchased a secondhand caravan and it's my first time. How often do you need to clean the cassette out. I've only stayed two nights in it on my own and used mostly the facilities at the park so only 2 days wee. Leaving my caravan at the site and plan coming for weekends on my own. Do I need to clean it out every time I leave? Cheers for the straight forward tips 👍

@chriswood8698 5 лет назад

Hi Dave, can you advise or have a video. Our Thetford toilet C-200 is leaking at the toilet base and inside where the cassette box is. We think it is the seal in the basin. Can you advise how to replace the seal as we cannot see how to access the toilet. There is not a problem with flushing. Thanks.

@davidmedina8577 4 года назад

Any other tips as to what else we can use in a spray bottle?

@SolidBold00 2 года назад

Is there anyway to fix the automatic vent if it’s leaking out of it or just have to replace?

@TheSpainy 2 года назад

Do you have a link to the washing block, i.e. which type? thanks!

@HelleLarsen-h5f 7 дней назад

But IF the 'arm with a float' breaks of, and I have to change this (I have bought a spare-part) HOW do I do it?

@thewayofnoway 6 лет назад

Handy tips, thanks. How much water do you add to empty tank when you put in tab?

@jns8393 4 года назад

I wondered that too

@ronnieclarke1480 3 года назад

Hi I've go on holiday and left the key to the toilet cabinet at home any idea how I can get in to it please need help as full up

@crystaltopaz1 2 года назад

Anybody know what the other grey button is for on top of the casette? He mentioned the pressure valve for emptying and the one for checking the cassette is closed but not the other grey button that you can turn and push.

@Anonymouse13 Год назад

Maybe it's connected to the float and attaches to the guage that tells you when loo is full.

@tonyhudson8698 Год назад

The long shaped button is a vent. It shuts off when tank is full, has a float on it..

@doctorofselfworth Год назад

our one splashes out up the top az s yellow round small cap. why? how to fix, i can take a photo.. sealing problem?

@tracytaylor2943 Год назад

Hi i hear you say Bio can you use non bio ? Living in a converted lorry come across you. Thanks :)

@susanheaford3271 6 лет назад

If you don't use pink in your flush do you just fill with plain water? And do you add a splash of water to the cassette with your washing powder block or just leave it dry?

@TimSmyth23 5 лет назад

susan heaford - 2 to 3 litres in the cassette.

@janetlynne4783 5 лет назад

The pink stuff is ok to use for cleaning? Is the washing block you used specific for a cassette toilet? Or is it something use to wash dishes or laundry? Thank you

@ega95jch 6 лет назад

Why no mention of Thetford's own Aqua Kem Green?

@sheraziqbal9556 4 года назад

Can you empty cassette at your home when you get back or motorway service station or does it have to at a camp site.

@tempus.narrabo 3 года назад

Yes its fine to empty at home.

@AlabamaTree 5 лет назад

You say the pink stuff causes algae build up in the flush tank, what do you recommend to use instead? 🤔

@marlin7055 5 лет назад

AlabamaTree You can use soap instead. Best regards from Sweden :)

@kimpham3249 4 года назад

@@marlin7055 what type of soap do you use? and how much to use, and is it applied after/before you use the toilet?

@simonlakin5067 5 лет назад

Isn’t the clothes wash tablet basically made up of 80% fat and won’t that cause a fat build up in the cassette?

@markadams5823 6 лет назад

I have holding tanks. Never heard of cassettes here in Texas

@MTSVW 4 года назад

mark adams In the USA it’s mostly just pop up trailers and truck bed campers that use cassettes. Cassettes are more common in bigger RVs in Europe because dumping stations aren’t as common in other parts of the world, and the cassettes can be emptied in a regular toilet.

@martynholder1971 4 года назад

when wild camping pee into a bottle, its wee that fills up the tank the most

@SAXONWARLORD1000AD 3 года назад

ALOT OF QUESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS AND NO ANSWERS

@JP-xe7lg 2 года назад

Yes realised that after posting mine😥. Who knows. Maybe guy is dead...know that sounds bad but is a possibility.

@edmurray611 4 года назад

Even though only a demonstration and i assume a new unused toilet cassette i believe he should have been wearing gloves

@davidhudson374 4 года назад

Where can I buy the washing blocks from in Australia?

@SAXONWARLORD1000AD 3 года назад

ASK AN AUSTRALIAN

@helihobbit 2 года назад

Best tip ever: pee in a potty/bottle, empty over a field or in a ditch. Huge labor savings and not a pollution hazard. We're getting forever out of our cassette.

@anne6052 Год назад

Never put Biological laundry detergents in your septic tank!

@AndyKristalstysrockcobbler 6 лет назад

So much missing information, what about the green chemical? What about SOG kits?. Manufacturers don't recommend swishing at all.

@mabecka Год назад

There are biological fluids for use in both the flushing tank as well as the waste tank. I use Solbio but there are others. These will not harm the environment and can be emptied into ordinary toilets. Don't use the blue stuff, it's horrible for natural processes and the environment!
