isnt the black bits just a mould caused by damp? as far as I knew it was the same stuff you get in yr bathroom, not sure whey the "pink" would make it worse.

I dont use anything in my flush, just water, (blue in the bottom) and all been fine to press.

a drop of blue in the wastewater wouldn't be a bad thing,

I also dont take a big bottle, I got one of the smallest bottle I could find (it might have even been a trial size) and this does enough blue for a fortnights trip on a THS, the big bottle stays at home

I was under the impression that it was the thetford pink that caused the problem not any other brand ?

Last night my son was saying he almost threw up when emptying the waste water container,because of the smell, although he was okay with the toilet cassette , and he asked me if I could put blue chem in the waste container as well?

Any reasons not to do this ?


Fill your wastemaster with hot or warm water and half a bottle of cheap bleach leave for 30 minutes and empty .
The inside will be spotless and smell free

Yeah, black bits are mould. It is unsightly and can in time block pipes and stop mechanisms from working properly. The flush additive has various purposes, such as helping to clean the pan, fragrance, and killing the mould.

The move now seems to be towards using the same chemical in flush and toilet cassette, because it's just easier. I've tried Top & Tail, but better by far is One Chem.

Hiya , I was under the impression that toiket waste(and blue/green/pink) chemical could only be put into the elsan point as chemicals cannot be discharged into domestic water drains without severe penalties being dished out if caught. When we clean down after every trip all we do is wash the waste master and water hog with clean running water , turn upside down to drain and wipe it thoroughly. We use elsan double rinse (OH saw it on offer in Towsure)and got 2lt of each for £7.50. We have 2 small bottles that store under the cassette so we only carry a small amount. Oh and Kay says she has never seen any black bits !!!maybe cheap chemicals are the answer.

The sites I've been to, the waste water goes down the elsan point too.

Do some sites have seperate places to empty the waste containers?

 You can empty waste water from your sink in an elsan point but NOT the other way round.
