This is interesting to see. We have a 2010 Mobile Suites with a toilet that dumps directly down into the black tank with a push of the pedal. We are going as much as 7 to 9 days before dumping. My process is to dump the black and then flush for 5 minutes, followed by closing and opening the black tank valve after 2 1/2 minutes each. Always have clear water after 5 minutes of flushing, and on reopening the black valve, we will have clear water after about 2 seconds.


I wonder if there is some kind of issue with your toilet system?

We have the porcelan electronic toilet so switch up to pump water into bowl switch down rotated ball seal to dump into tank.
After initial dump black tank flush runs clear after a couple minutes
Ball cycles open closed so we fill bowl 8-10 times after initial dump with valve closed. Then dump which flows mostly clear. But follow with black tank flush running and dump full toilets into tank with dump valve and when toilet is flushed there is always lumps and occasional paper when toilet flushed

Larry, created in the 1980s by Charles Bruni, The Geo Method uses a combination of powdered Calgon (water softener), laundry detergent (soap/surfactant), plenty of water, and often bleach or chlorine (to attempt to control odor). Bruni created what he called The Geo Method as a homemade system for treating the interior of your holding tanks.

This is not exactly an approved solution throughout the RV industry. And keep in mind that your waste and paper is not in your tank long enough to break down using any chemicals.

Seems like the softener / soap will add some slickness to the tank for improved flow
