Using Unique Holding Tank Treatments

First off, we want you to know that you’ve made the right decision by choosing Unique Camping + Marine products! Not to toot our own horn too much, but we strive to craft the highest-quality products we can. Our products outperform any and all other holding tank products available today. We truly believe in our products, and we’re glad that you do, too!

With that said, it’s crucial that you use RV holding tank treatments in the right way. Otherwise, they won’t perform like they’re supposed to. The fact is that, even if you use the highest-quality product available, you will still have issues if you don’t follow the right wastewater treatment practices. There’s just no way around it.

To ensure that you’re putting the right procedures into practice when using RV Digest-It or Marine Digest-it, we first recommend that you closely follow the instructions on our product labels. These instructions are the result of meticulous testing and real-world application. You can find specific instructions for RV Digest-It and Marine Digest-It here.

Second (and just as important!), we strongly recommend that you follow our proven wastewater treatment guide, The Unique Method. Our method ensures that you will have no issues with nasty odors, disgusting tank clogs, or misreading sensors. The Unique Method has been tested by thousands of RVers nationwide who trust it to provide them with workable, safe, and eco-friendly solutions! All in all, if you want to make sure that Unique Camping + Marine products work best for you, make sure to follow The Unique Method!

Now, with all the preliminary jargon out of the way, let’s jump into the meat of our article! We will examine each product in turn, telling what it’s made for and how to use it.

Using Unique Holding Tank Cleaner

What is it made for?

Unique Tank Cleaner is made to deep clean and unclog your black water holding tank. Tank Cleaner provides a fast-acting solution to break up tough clogs while you sleep. (Tank Cleaner works overnight in most cases.) It requires no driving and contains no overwhelming fragrances or caustic chemicals! This product is significantly more potent and powerful than RV Digest-It, so we recommend using Tank Cleaner for unclogging holding tanks, not RV Digest-It.

How do you use it?

Most tank clogs come from pyramid plugs (literal pyramids of poop in your black tank!). Tank Cleaner will easily digest these clogs. It will also digest and dissolve residual waste and sludge, so you can unclog and deep clean tanks with old, compacted waste. Simply follow the instructions on the label to quickly and easily unclog your holding tank. Here’s a brief overview of these instructions:

1. Close your black tank valve.
2. If you can, add several gallons of water to your black tank. The more water you have in your tank, the better Tank Cleaner will work!
3. Pour one entire bottle of Unique Holding Tank Cleaner into your black tank through your RV’s toilet.
4. Let sit for 12+ hours. The longer you let Tank Cleaner work, the better your results will be! There is no amount of time that is too long for Tank Cleaner to be left it your tanks. Tank Cleaner will not damage your tanks. In fact, the longer you can let Tank Cleaner work, the better! We recommend 72 hours for optimal clog removal. The solids in your holding tank should be liquefied after the treatment period. 
5. Open your black tank valve and allow the tank to empty.
6. If you have a tank rinser (i.e., a flusher), allow it to run for roughly 20-30 minutes. That way, your tank will be rinsed out thoroughly. 
7. Repeat if necessary.
8. Close your black tank valve. Only open it when you're dumping so you never have to deal with this problem again!

Using Unique Sensor Cleaner

What is it made for?

Unique Sensor Cleaner is designed to clean and restore misreading black tank sensors. Like Tank Cleaner, Sensor Cleaner contains no overpowering fragrances or nasty chemicals. It uses just bacteria + enzymes to help you end misreading sensor issues for good!

How do you use it?

As a powerful bacterial and enzymatic cleaner, Sensor Cleaner will easily and quickly digest solid waste and toilet paper that is caking onto your black tank sensors. Simply follow these instructions: 

1. Close your black tank valve.
2. Fill your tank with water. (Water must cover your highest sensor to clean it.)
3. Shake your bottle of Sensor Cleaner very well.
4. Pour ½ bottle of Sensor Cleaner into your black tank.
5. Let sit for as long as possible. While there’s no limit to how long you can leave Sensor Cleaner in your tank, we recommend 48-72 hours for optimal cleaning. 
6. Open your black tank valve and allow your tank to empty.
7. Rinse your tank very thoroughly.
8. Close your black tank valve.
9. Repeat if necessary.

Also, always keep in mind that, while your sensors are likely just malfunctioning, they could also simply be broken and need to be replaced!

Using Unique RV Toilet Cleaner

What is it made for?

Unique RV Toilet Cleaner is designed to clean RV toilet bowls. It is not designed to replace your holding tank treatment. Rather, RV Toilet Cleaner cleans your toilet bowl with bacteria and boosts the bacteria count inside your tank to provide additional support to your bacteria-based holding tank treatment. It’s fragrance-free, non-toxic, eco-friendly, and 100% safe!

How do you use it?

Follow these instructions to make your RV’s toilet bowl sparkle:

1. Put a small amount of water into your toilet bowl and spread it around with a sponge or soft bristled brush. DO NOT use a traditional toilet brush or anything that could scrape or scratch the interior of your RV toilet bowl, as some commodes are made of plastic and are prone to scratching.
2. Apply RV Toilet Cleaner evenly on the inside surface of your toilet bowl.
3. Scrub thoroughly with your toilet sponge.
4. Let sit for a few minutes (don't let it dry out though)
5. Flush your toilet and rinse it well.

Using Unique Tank Odor Eliminator

What is it made for?

Unique Tank Odor Eliminator Drop-In Pods are designed to remove toilet odors in extreme conditions. This product works in the coldest and hottest temperatures to completely eliminate odors from black and gray tanks by tackling odors at their source.

How do you use it?

For best results with Tank Odor Eliminator, follow the detailed instructions on the package. In general, Tank Odor Eliminator is very easy to use. Simply supplement your tank with the prescribed dosage of Tank Odor Eliminator during especially hot or cold periods and watch as odors disappear.

If you would like to use Tank Odor Eliminator in your gray tanks, simply drop a pod into a cup or bowl filled with water and let pod dissolve. Then, pour the water and pod contents down the sink, shower, or bath tub drain.

One more thing about Tank Odor Eliminator: while our other products are specifically designed to be completely safe for you and the environment, Tank Odor Eliminator stands a little apart from our other products. It’s still a generally safe product, but because it’s a mineral/salt-based product instead of a bacteria/enzyme-based product, there are some risks that come along with using it, which is why we’ve packaged it in a safe, easy-to-use drop-in pod formulation. We always want to be open and honest about our products, so if you want to learn more about Tank Odor Eliminator, please touch or click here to read our full note of transparency. 

Conclusion

Using the right product is a huge part of proper holding tank maintenance, which is why we make only the best products out there! All the same, having lasting success with wastewater treatment also depends heavily on the procedures and everyday care habits you put in place. No product will undo bad care practices, which is why we’ve made holding tank care easy with The Unique Method. We strongly recommend that you both use the right products and follow The Unique Method!

As we stated above, Unique Camping + Marine products come with detailed label instructions that provide comprehensive guidance to all our customers, but if you should have a burning question or concern (or maybe just a quirky comment!), please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@uniquemm.com. We’d love to walk with you on your RVing journey!
