Motorhome Maintenance : How to clean waste tanks
Motorhome Maintenance : How to clean waste tanks
How do you clean the grey and black waste tanks of your motorhome? In this vlog I give a practical demonstration of how i have cleaned the ones on the Adria Matrix. I use the Thetford Duo Tank Cleaner to clean the black waste {toilet cassette} and grey waste water tanks. These straight forward instructions will help you descale and degrease your tanks.

I was impressed by the peek under the Adria showing the quality insulation on the grey tank, and a well lagged dump valve. Looks like a van you could trust in cold weather, unlike many others.

You did well to spot that 😊 Yes, Adria test all their models to extreme low temperatures and they are extremely good in winter. We have a lot of faith in the brand having been very happy owners.
Excellent how to vlog! Thanks for the advice
Very clear story Karina. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Karina. Very well explained. I won't mention the flavour😉. Looks like a great product I could do with one for the caravan like this as I am winterising it very soon. Thanks Phil👍🙂

Thanks guys 😂 No, I stayed dry! Yes, you can use this for both and it can be used in a waste water carrier for a caravan too to stop that awful smell you sometimes get. 👍

OMG! I now see others picked you up on the “taste”of the toilet cleaner!!! That gave me a bloody good laugh. I thought you had joined my rank of drinking anything when there is no more booze left! (I do know you don’t drink alcohol!). Always a great vlog. I just did mine! Thetford also have a product for a grey waste master! It’s fab stuff! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Hi Karina, thanks for the presentation. my issue is not removing he smell from the cassette (I have a SOG, therefore no smells) over time I have had a buildup of calc on the inside of the cassette. does this product remove these deposits?

Thank you the Thetford Duo Tank cleaner will remove limescale build up..I would give it a good soak though for it to be effective. I hope that helps.. Karina
Great vlog guys!! Did you notice the fresh smell of the chemicals after you treated the grey waste? 👍
@HereWeTow

Thanks for watching Gareth, I didnt notice any smell inside but the waste tank smells much better when we empty it now. This would have been good to use on our caravan toilet cassette as that had really bad limescale. The Wiltshire and Dorset area seems to have very hard water in some places. 😊 Karina

what happened to the flexi pipe link?
Do you have a video for cleaning the white water system?

No but I would advise you use Puriclean. You add it to the freshwater tank and fill it, then draw the water through the pipes. Leave it 12-24 hours and then empty the tank. I usually pull it through the waste water tank to clean that too. Then fill the tank again with water and pull that through to remove the Puriclean. 😊 Karina
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but is that the black (chemical loo waste) waste on the same stand as the fresh water tap 🤢😱🦠🤢😱🦠??

Where do you empty it if your not on a campsite
@HereWeTow

You can empty it at home in to a drain, or the drain at a storage site. Some people use drains on public roads. If you use a treatment like this you can to be mindful of plant and animal life when disposing of water. Just be responsible and considerate, thank you for watching. 😊👍

Surely you can use tank and empty when full

Have you tried Puriclean? If your tank has quite a build up then concentrated Puriclean should shift most things..
