Elsan fluid

Is anybody with a basic Elsan toilet having trouble with the new type Elsan fluid?
It seems that you have to renew the fluid nearly every day, which was not the case about 3/ 4 years ago.
Has anybody got any ideas on the subject? I have used Thetford fluid with the same result!!
Many thanks

Tony, what is the new fluid you refer to? I switched to the green organic for waste tank and flush a few years ago and am very pleased with it. Just one bottle to carry around and no smells after the 4 or so days between emptying, even in hot French summers.

Ours also only a "tinkle toilet", [can I patent that phrase?] using the well diluted green stuff for the flush. Works a treat.
A also carry a small, about 150/200ml bottle of pine disinfectant to wipe around the bowl etc when I empty.

We put Zoflora in the flush tank. A little bottle goes a long way!!!

We use bio tabs the kind you buy for your washing machine. Lots of people on the Caravan Club site have had success with them but usually in flush type Thetford toilets. Just pop one in the holding tank or bucket.

We use the Elsan double concentrated pink and blue. We don't have any problems with smells even in hot weather. I have a small spray bottle with some diluted pink fluid which we use to clean and sanitise around the toilet.

I made a rule when we bought our Eriba, whoever uses the toilet empties and cleans it, never been used in 10 years.

You could have saved a £2K and bought a toiletless Triton.

We bought it in the Netherland just before the Brexit vote so saved more that £2000 anyway, but as we go away for 3 months at a time the space is useful as a wardrobe [I put a hanging rail in]
