Good evening.

I now have a spare portaloo to pass on to my friend [mainly for the children to use out of hours!].  Today she asked me if you had to use the chemicals, and to be honest I didn't know, I just followed the instructions with ours last year.  She likes to be chemical free where possible. 

Obviously to me I would think it would be rather smelly, but is there a specific reason other than the pong to add them to the water?  I'm afraid my instruction manual is still in the loft at the moment, so can't check it for the answers!

Right if I tell her, not only will she pong the campsite out, but she runs the risk of exiting the tent with a rather nasty substance decorating her hair, she might have a rethink!

Thanks for the replies, I'll pass your advice on.

bleach shouldn't burn the plastic. After all, bleach comes in a plastic bottle ! but I agree, use the  for the bottom tank and pink for the top.

That Fenwicks top and tail looks a good option.  Do you know how much of it you would need at each application Caster?  I noticed it came in 2 litre bottles.

I saw it on camping online, they mention a 7 day cycle.  Does that mean you don't have to empty it for 7 days, unless usage says otherwise!
