And I look at all you do and think he's got way too much time on his hands to be mixing in a five gallon bucket, bringing laundry supplies, using hot water, I'm tired just writing it.

A scoop of Happy Camper with every flush and never a problem. Well with the cost of convenience to me.

As you said not trying to offend anyone. My system takes as long as it takes to add a gallon of water to the toilet, maybe thirty seconds. The Happy Camper is in the cabinet next to the toilet. I don't have space for a five gallon bucket in my bathroom. I probably could find space for the bleach and laundry detergent. But one product mixed in the toilet with water from the toilet is about as simple as I could find.

I do believe there is fun in being a scientist and mixing your own stuff and creating something different. I'm probably just too lazy.

So, just wondering, can you leave bath exhaust on when flushing and have no smell? Do your original factory tank sensors work perfectly, or have you changed to a different system, or get a flashlight as your tank sensor?

You've never worked in a restaurant, have you? How do you think the standard coffee pitchers are cleaned? The ones they use to refill your coffee cup at the diner. It's too narrow to get your hand into them. There's no way to get any kind of brush in there and clean the sides. Dishwasher? Again the top is too narrow.

Solution is to put in a bunch of ice cubes, add some salt and water. Put your hand over the top and shake like a madman. It takes about 45 seconds and all the old coffee gunk is gone. Looks like new. Then add another quart of sludge and start pouring. "Keep those cups full and the customers happy"

An excercise in futility. You'll hear a difference as the black tank starts getting full, that's when you know you HAVE to empty. Otherwise I let it fill up the entire weekend, then dump.

Gray tank will eventually back up into the tub when it is full. That's when you know to dump that one.

The sensors aren't accurate at all. Clean or dirty, it doesn't matter. The second you clean it, you'll bump dirty water back down into the tank that will dirty it up again.

My factory sensors work fine. I don’t get to the, as you said, HAVE point without knowing it’s coming.
