Tried GEO Method

My Montana has been stationary at one campground since Oct. 1st so without the sloshing around by driving here and there, I decided to try the GEO method. Also, my black tank sensors have always indicated full since new and it just wasn't worth the effort to open up the underbelly and check it out.

Much to my amazement, a month of GEO treatments, allowing the tank to get nearly full before dumping, after I dumped this morning, I pressed the black tank sensor and it for the first time ever indicated 1/3 full. It's empty, but that is the reading. Either I'm 2/3 of the way there with the process or the top two sensors have stopped working all together. Hopefully the former.

Interesting. Basically it's what we do already since the dishwater with the detergent in it we put down the toilet. All we need to do is add the water softener. Thanks!

I've been using the Geo Method for 6 years. 1st in the tt and now in the Monty. It's always worked really well for us. Never a smell and helps a lot in keeping the tanks clean.

I had read to do the water softener and dish detergent, but the bleach was a new one. I still just need to figure out how much of each to add to be effective...
