ThetfordAqua-KEM Original - RV Holding Tank Treatment - Deodorizer - Waste Digester - Cleaner - 32 oz 09852

There is a reason formaldehyde toilet chemicals have been around since the dawn of the chemical toilet. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT ACTUALLY WORK! I’ve tried all the others in my 5 gallon portapotti camper tank. The tank stinks after a day. “Old blue” this age old thetford formaldehyde chemical is the only one that truly breaks down the solids and neuralizes all odor. All the so called experts that make the other stuff will tell you formaldehyde is bad for septic systems so you have to use formaldehyde free. So I tried the others for a while. One after another I found over and over they didn’t work. So I got to thinking, of formaldehyde is so bad for septic systems then why are there now massive signs at every rv Park saying no dumping if formadehyde chemical is used. I’ve never seen a sign like that. So I did some research. Formadehyde is actually biodegradable. And thetford has a patent on this chemical. So all the others trying to get you to worry about formadehyde are just lying to you about the horrors of formadehyde because it’s the only way they have to compete.Just buy this and say good by to clogged pipes and tank smells. Tried and true. Been around for decades. The only one that really works.

Had to live in an RV for 6 months while house was being built and the toilet was the single most stressful annoying part of it all! Clogged toilets and stale water smells was enough to go insane. I read rv blogs and articles and several recommended this product so I found it on amazon and it worked! It was the only thing that worked. Other stuff I bought just did nothing. I put this in the toilet and sinks for the water smell which helped immensely and for the clogs it took care of it overnight. The hot water trick didnt work for me...at all. This stuff really is amazing especially if you live in a trailer. Those toilets are too sensitive but this should take care of anything.

Really helped with smell

We have used the Thetford Aqua-KEM product with our travel trailer for several years, and it works very well. However, we recently saw a sign in our favorite campground asking people not to use products like this that contain formaldehyde or other chemicals, because it contaminates the ground around their lagoon water treatment systems. The same might be true of campgrounds with septic tank systems. Sadly, although we like this product, we will be switching to one of the more environmentally friendly products even though we have found that they don't work quite as well.

I am one of probably several camping people that love their AquaKEM deodorizer for their RV tanks.Teftford can no longer put formalghyde in AquaKem so they took it out and now call the product AquaMax.I ordered one bottle of this product because it said "original" AuquaKem, when I received it I was ecstatic because it was actually "AuqaKem", so then I clicked on "Buy Again" and ordered 11 bottles since it still said Original AuqaKem. Then I received the 11 bottles and they were all AuqaMax, and when you try and return them they are unreturnable or in another case with another seller (which it also advertised "AuqaKem" in the picture but it was not!) I had to pay to ship back a 20 pound box, which cost me $100 to ship it back! so I am assuming that is what would happen again with this seller if I disputed it, so unfortunately I have decided not to return this batch."BUT BUYER BEWARE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE ADVERTISING AND THEY SHOUD BE PUNISHED FOR IT!"

This stuff is the only thing that really works! Hard to find but worth the search!

Works well in my composting toilet urine tank. Smells nice. Breaks down odor.

After trying several "green" products, we returned to this old standby. It may smell like chemicals, but that is better than the alternative!
