I used to use bleach but I got tired of the flushing for hours after to remove the taste/smell, so I decided to try Captain Phab purge tank cleanser and I loved it. a bit more cost than bleach but you fill up the tanks with this in it, let it sit overnight drain, then fill again for a rinse and drain and you're done. no taste or anything.

Captain Phab contains "Viable non pathogenic bacteria suspension". What's that? How does it work?

Where did you see that? the one I linked to is sodium percarbonate and other acids in a blend, but mostly the sodium.

According to Captain Phab's MSDS, it contains between 80 - 100% sodium percarbonate (aka "oxygen bleach").
So that other 20% is anybody's guess.
However, since Captain Phab can go as high as 100% sodium percarbonate, then you would save a lot of money by just buying generic:
- Captain Fab, 450g (about 1 pound) = $39.85
vs
- Sodium Percarbonate (10 pounds) = $49.95

if you download there MSDS sheet the rest is composed of different acids, which because they are not listed on the MSDS lets me know they are most likely food type acids. I thought about getting it bulk, but it isn't worth it, one container does both my 5th wheel and my camper for two years. so, it costs me 5 buck a cleanse. If I am going to cry about that I should probably sell my rv's as I use more than that in toilet paper in one trip.

I even searched for that phrase and couldn't find it. send me a link so I can look at it, I'm suspecting it's not the potable water treatment you're looking at, but still interesting

This is the product that has "viable non pathogenic bacteria." This is for the black tank. The bottle even says it is for the septic system.

And, here is the MSDS.

This is the one referenced. I see nothing regarding sanitizing, only odor control. The price looks right.![[emoticon]](http://www.rv.net/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile")
