How to Use Deodorizer in a Camper Van
Deodorizer usage for a 2.5-gallon or 5-gallon potty
Walex deodorizers like Porta-Pak are created for black holding tanks, but you don’t have a black tank if you’re living #VanLife in a converted camper van. Instead, you might have either a cassette toilet or a porta-potty, both of which have from 2.5 to 5 gallons capacity. So here’s what you need to know about using deodorizer.
Add one entire packet of deodorizer
No matter what type of tank you have, you should always add an entire packet of deodorizer. You should not handle a holding tank product; that’s why the Porta-Pak formula is contained in a water-soluble casing. Simply drop the entire packet into your cassette toilet or porta-potty and add water.
Add the correct amount of water
For a 5-gallon tank, add 3/4 to 1 gallon of water, and for a 2.5-gallon tank, add 1/2 gallon of water. You always need water because it dissolves the packet and allows the waste to fall below the waterline. The deodorizer can only treat the waste that it can touch!
In addition to deodorizing, Porta-Pak also breaks down waste and paper, making it easier to empty the tank.
