We have found it excellent after using it for the past 4 months. We use it diluted in a spray for the bowl on their recommendation. We have had more issues with our Adamo recently so we have not used it since our last trip to Wales in June. The toilet needed a clean out before we traded ours in for a new Adamo. It was still fairly fresh only a slight whiff of ammonia. We will continue to use this excellent product in our new one.

Hi Bob, here’s a Solbio update from us. We’ve used it for 2 years mainly on our seasonal pitch. We loved the ease of use and it only being one product. However this year I fitted a Thetford cassette extractor kit, which works really well. So I decided to try cheaper toilet fluid alternatives. Being bio washing liquid and Zoflora for the flush tank. We’ve been astonished how much “black bits” have been released from the system since using the Zoflora. We never experienced any issues with the flush pump, however either the tank was very contaminated or the pipe work. Just a heads up, you might want to give it a try to see what happens in your van. Cheers from John & Alison.

Hi again Bob, actually the point I was making was that we hadn’t had any visible signs of black bits. Over the 2 years we used Solbio. Black bits only appeared after we added Zoflora to the tank, and after about an hour of soak and the first flush, lots of black bits appeared. So I think I only found the issue after the Zoflora cleaned out the system. I think at some point in the future, we would have had an issue.

Bob, I notice its always a bit of a battle to undo the cassette lid, heres an old cabinet makers trick for sticky drawers ( theres a joke in there somewhere) rub candle wax, bees wax or even childs crayon around the threads and anywhere the lid makes contact, this will in effect lubricate the threads but without the mess of oil or grease. This method works, give it a try.

Hi Bob, we recently started using the Solbio and although it initially smells nice. We find it’s only useful for number 1’s and needs changing every day if using for both. As it’s twice the price of the normal green stuff, I’m not sure it’s worth the extra expense. Love the channel 👍

I've been using a 'green' toilet additive for years simply because it gives greater me options for safe environmental disposal, but some do leave hard flaky deposits in the cassette. Solbio is much better in this respect but I'm not sure I like its rather 'medical' smell.

Interesting Bob. I have been using Elsan Organic (green bottle) for 2 years and the two bottles cost £20. I have only been using Solbio for 2 weeks, but first impressions are; the smell is better but I haven't seen as much breakdown of the matter in the cassette as the Elsan. Elsan says 3 days or so to breakdown the matter and I agree with that. I have also used a squirt of Solbio in the sink in a newly emptied waste tank and that keeps it smelling nice. At £20, bought at NEC Feb, it is going to be a lot more expensive. Question is; what price to save the planet?!

Hi Bob. We find Solbio is great as long as you don’t use an antibacterial toilet cleaner that then washes into the tank. If you do this it seems to kill the natural bacteria in the Solbio. This begs the question, how do you clean the toilet bowl? Have you found a good solution to this?

You can use a dilute solution of Solbio, it is just soaps and natural products, or a multi purpose cleaner that just wipes off.
