I think in a nutshell, we are trying to get a paper that breaks down as quickly as possible. I think most of us pre-charge our black tank with enough water to suspend any paper or solids, (I dump in about 4 gallons along with the deodorant). Why, we want to have paper and solids to float away from the inlet pipe area so as not to collect there. The better the paper breaks down when submersed, the better it will disperse in the tank. Another reason we want the paper to dissolve is so it doesn't get caught in the valve gate channel. The more dissolved the paper is the less chance it will get caught and prevent the valve from closing all the way. We want 100% of what goes in to come out.
