What You Need to Know About Clogged RV Black Tanks & Stubborn Buildup

As an RV owner, dealing with a clogged black tank can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience. One of the most notorious culprits of a stubborn RV black tank clog is the dreaded "poop pyramid." The Extreme Cleaner is designed to address even the most stubborn RV black tank clog, even the infamous poop pyramid.

What is a Stubborn RV Black Tank Clog?

A stubborn RV black tank clog refers to a blockage in the black tank that prevents proper waste disposal and drainage. This clog can occur when solid waste, toilet paper, and other debris accumulate and form a solid mass, commonly known as the poop pyramid. The poop pyramid can obstruct the flow of waste and cause backups, unpleasant odors, and potential damage to the RV's plumbing system.

 

The Dreaded Poop Pyramid:

The poop pyramid is a term used to describe the solid mass of waste and toilet paper that forms in the black tank. It typically occurs when solid waste and toilet paper are not adequately broken down or when excessive amounts of toilet paper are used. As waste accumulates, it can stick to the walls of the tank and create a pyramid-shaped obstruction. The poop pyramid can be challenging to remove and usually requires the Extreme Cleaner to dislodge and clear the clog.

 

This is NOT a regular maintenance treatment to control odor:

The Extreme Cleaner is designed to completely clean your holding tank when you know you've got a problem. If there is stubborn buildup, mold, or other disgusting gunk in your holding tanks, this will get it out.

We highly recommend that you watch what comes out of your holding tank even if you thought it was fairly clean — you'll be surprised.

Just take a look at these actual images shown above of an RV gray holding tank that appeared to be clean. The water was running clear before using the Extreme Cleaner treatment and WOW, look what came out.

The Extreme RV Holding Tank Cleaner is Easy to Use and Can Be Use for:

USES:

1) Thoroughly Clean holding tanks

2) Cleans poor working sensors.

3) Softens & removes solid buildup like poop pyramids.

4) You just bought your RV & want to super clean the tanks for a fresh start.

5) A great product for an annual clean out, especially when winterizing.

*Recommended for use in 30-60 gallon tanks.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Dump and Thoroughly Rinse Holding Tank

2. Put 3 to 4 gallons of hot water in a bucket, then add and mix in the entire container of Extreme Cleaner. Mix until fully dissolved.

3. Pour into toilet and flush. OR Pour down sink for gray tank.

4. Add 5-7 more gallons of water (if stationery completely fill tank)

5. For best results drive your RV or trailer on a good windy road to aggressively agitate and clean tank.

6. As soon as you are 'hooked up' dump the tank and rinse well.

Much like clothes in a washing machine, rinsing & agitation does most of the work, EXTREME CLEANER simply softens & helps dissolve sludge & crud in holding tanks. Use on-board or flexible down-the-toilet rinser for best results.

 

If your trailer/RV is not mobile:

Fill your holding tank as full as possible and add the entire container for treatment following step 2 above. Leave in your holding tank 48-72 hours before dumping.

Holding tank sensors are historically temperamental, heavy cleaning will usually (but not always) restore scum crusted sensors. Stationary units require more rinsing with less success. Will not dissolve “wipes” or fix broken or corroded probes.

 

*This product is not intended to be a regular holding tank treatment or deodorant - this is a seasonal RV black tank cleaner.

Common Questions About Happy Campers Black & Gray Tank Treatment

 

Q) How long does it take for Happy Campers Holding Tank Treatment to start working?

A) Great Question! Happy Campers Holding Tank Treatment starts working very quickly (you should notice it's effect within minutes).

*If you use the treatment and continue to have a bad odor this is typically caused by one of two things:

1. Your tank needs to be emptied and rinsed, we also recommend using our Extreme Cleaner to make sure your tank is clear of all the bad residue.

2. If you were using a chemical treatment prior to adding Happy Campers, that treatment could have stopped Happy Campers from working. In that instance, you would need to empty and rinse your tank as in the first problem. See Our Tips for Tanks for More information.

 

Q) Will this work on old solids that have been in the tank for a while? Our sensors are dirty and have not been working for a long time.

A) The Happy Campers holding tank treatment is to put in every tank to eliminate odors. To clean and remove solids from your holding tanks the "Extreme Cleaner" is the product to use.

 

Q)  Does this product take the place of the pucks you add after each dump and before using the toilet again or does it serve a different purpose?

A) Happy Campers Holding Tank Treatments replace your existing chemical treatments. I usually add about two gallons of fresh water to my holding tanks after I dump. In the toilet I start to fill the bowl, add one scoop full of Happy Camper, fill the bowl, let it set about 15 minutes, then flush it - that gives an extra clean to my toilet bowl as well as starting it's process in the holding tank. For my shower, and sinks, I add about 1/2 scoop and rinse it down into those tanks.

 

Q)   Will this product work in a tank that has previously been treated with a formaldehyde product?

A) Happy Campers holding tank treatments can definitely be used if you have previously used a formaldehyde product. We recommend flushing out the tanks before beginning the use of Happy Campers, but our product is designed to break down solids and eliminate odor effectively.

 

Q)    Can you use Happy Campers for grey water too?

A) Absolutely! You can use Happy Campers products for both black and grey water tanks. It is much more convenient than liquids and has a proven track record for completely eliminating odor, not simply masking it.

 

Q)     We have a 250 gallon gray water tank from shower water, we water our plants with this water, the drains have odor. Will this be ok for our plants?

A) If you follow dosage instructions on container Happy Campers will not harm your plants. Please contact manufacture or authorized dealer for ACCURATE recommendations.

 

Q)     Does Happy Campers treatment work in a boat tank?

A) Yes. An RV holding tank is typically just a larger version of a boat holding tank. The Plumbing is all the same material for the most part, and waste is... well... waste!

 

Q)     I just finished a trip with happy camper in the black tank but don't want to dump until my next trip in 3 weeks. Will smell be a problem?

 

Here's what Amazon Reviewers have to say:

Shouldn't be; however, just pour a tablespoon to be on the safe side. I used to go weeks between and never had a problem.
By Dr. No can do on August 30, 2016

I empty my blackwater every three of four weeks, no issues.
By v8gee on August 30, 2016
 
Happy Camper is the best product I've ever used. There are, however, limits to everything. It depends on how long since you last dumped. I have held for as long as six weeks without odor.
By Sam S. on August 30, 2016
 
I've waited longer than that between trips and haven't noticed any odors.
By Bill H. Lubben on August 30, 2016

 

 

Q)     How Much Should I use per dosage?

A) How to use Happy Campers Holding Tank Treatment:

Black Tank:

• Fill toilet bowl with water and add 1 scoop of Happy Camper per 40-gallon tank.
• Stir well and flush. (Pro Tip: Make sure you stir in Happy Campers as you add it).
• Refill toilet bowl with two gallons of water and flush.

Gray Tank:

• Mix 1/2 scoop of Happy Camper with water in kitchen sink or shower and wash it down the drain.

    I purchased this to get my sensors in the black holding tank to work but it didn't help. However the water that came out was brown whereas it had been clear prior to using this product so evidently it did clean the tank but not affect the sensors

    We have tried every product you can think of to clean holding tanks and we have been trying for 20 years EXTREME is hands down is the best product we have found and I guess that's why it's been hard to get

    Absolutely positively the best tank cleaner ever made. After many other attempts to clean and deodorize my black tank HappY Campers Extreme did it in one try. I am now following up with with regular Happy Campers and have not had a single issue. My sensors actually work now too. I strongly urge you to use Extreme to get it cleaned right the first time.

    This is the second time I have used this product and I am very happy with it. Since I likely let too much "material" build up during the camping season, it is nice to have this product at the beginning and end of the season to do a thorough cleaning. Having a clean tank allows the Happy Camper treatment that they sell to do a great job keeping things clean. I like to use this product once a year to keep my black tank working well.

    I was dealing with a possible huge headache with my black tank as well as the usual issue of tank sensor problems. I used the Happy Campers Extreme product and then the regular Happy Campers. The black tank now runs clear and the sensors work! Thank you for a tremendous product!
