I have found that elsan double pink does not leave black bits unlike a number of other brands I have tried.

I totally agree as I changed to Elsan Pink from the Thetford brand after someone elses advice on a rally field a few years ago so we are not the only ones to find this. There probably are many other folk too that know this that are not members of this forum.

Never have black bits with Elsan. I did with thetford.

When I had a caravan and used a porta loo I used Fenwicks Top and Tail. It was the same fluid top and bottom and the fluid in the top helped to lubricate the pump and clean the bowl. It also tops up the fluid in the bottom bowl which will lose it's strength as you 'water' it down.

I never had any black bits but I am wondering if the black bits could be a black rubber washer starting to perish...just a thought.

I tried that top and tail and swiftly went back to Elsan. Hated the smell and threw it away.

After trying other brands I went back to Elson and I don't think there's anything better, there cheaper but not better and there's no black bits with their pink.

I left the top n tail I bought at the elson point (on purpose)and those who use bio capsules or the sog system can't have any sense of smell

We use Thetford Pink in the top tank. Before winter, we thoroughly flush out the top tank with clean water, yet the following year we start getting the black bits. I have concluded that this is water residue that has produced bacteria in the tank during the standing period.
I have considered flushing the tank with a weak solution of Jeyes Fluid, on the basis that any residue will prevent bacteria because of its Jeyes Fluid content.
