Happy Camper. You don't need the tank to smell like flowers. Best smell is NO smell.

Add another vote for Happy Camper. Only treat tank when we are in place for 5 days or more. When less than 5 days, I usually don't bother with any treatment.

Have used Camco TST Max for a few years. Also seems to work well.

All you need is water, lots of water. If you are getting an odor from the tank, there is something wrong with the plumbing system.

Been using Happy Camper for at least 8 years now and really satisfied with it! I usually use about a scoop and a half in the black tank and even use it in the gray tanks by adding about 34/ to a full scoop there also. We use plenty of water and regular Angel Soft toilet paper and have had no problems what so ever.

The Calgon helps to keep the sides slipperily so stuff does stick to the sides, allowing for a better flush.

Unique Digest-It. I have tried Happy Camper and IMHO Digest-It is much better. See the attached link - https://uniquecampingmarine.com

I have used Unique Digest-it as well no problem and no smell. How ever in hot weather the tanks need to be refressed with an new dose after a week. Any bio with enzymes treatment is good. Once you start using them never go back to chemicals because they kill off the biological things.
