The GEO Method uses softened water and laundry
detergent to clean gray and black water tanks. Buy Calgon Water
Softener because it dissolves quickly in water. Cheaper water
softeners work just as well but dissolve more slowly. You'll find it
with or near the laundry detergent products at the supermarket.
Dissolve two (2) cups of the water softener in a gallon of hot
water. Pour the solution down the drain into each empty tank. If you
normally use a water softener on fresh tank water, you can skip the
addition of the Water Softener product. Add a cup of laundry
detergent to the black (commode) water tank only, at the same time
you add water softener. This will help clean the tank. Then use the
tank(s) normally until full and drain/flush normally. The gray water
tanks should already contain soap through normal use. The water
softener makes the solid waste let go from the sides of the
tanks.If
you've ever taken a shower in softened water you know that after
rinsing the soap from your body your skin will feel slick. That's
because all the soap rinses away with soft water. Softened water
also prevents soap scum from sticking in the tub. Get the
connection? With softened water gunk washes away instead of
sticking. The same thing applies to your RV's wastewater tanks. Too
little water softener may not be of sufficient concentration to work
effectively. Too much water softener will NOT hurt the tanks. So, if
the amount you used didn't quite do the job, then use more the next
time. Don't forget the laundry
detergent.
