Our range of portable toilets and frames; All you need to know

Our Thetford Porta Potti toilets are more commonly seen amongst the camping fraternity and are considered the number one and most reliable choice. Combined with either a fixed or folding frame they offer a more pleasant and dignified option than a typical commode. So what do you need? choice of Porta Potti is up to you, however if the user is infirm or less able they may have a problem when pulling the waste release handle after use. Also the 165 model can be harder to flush, as far as chemicals go there are 3 possibilities. Waste tank chemical (Aqua Kem blue or green) is essential. Most people will go for Aqua Kem blue, green is only needed when the toilet is to be emptied into a septic tank. Top tank additive (pink) is optional, this adds a nice smell to the flushing water and makes for a more pleasant set up, though not essential we do recommend it. We also supply Aqua soft (dissolvable) toilet rolls, essential if the bottom tank is allowed to fill up, however in most cases customers will not be waiting for the toilet bottom tank to fill up and will empty when less than half full. If this the case then you might get away without these toilet rolls and regular might do, but be cautious, if too much goes in you'll have trouble emptying. Emptying the toilet can be done into a regular toilet, however please be aware that emptying especially a full tank into a toilet should be done with caution since there is a possibility of causing a blockage.

SANITATION PRODUCTS (TOILET ADDITIVES) ARE NECESSARY
To ensure the efficient operation of portable chemical toilets, it is necessary to use toilet additives. Thetford offers a complete range of toilet additives to suit the varying needs of mobile toilets for camping, caravanning and domestic use.

What do Thetford toilet additives do? Thetford waste holding tank additives reduce unpleasant odours and gas build-up. They break down waste matter in toilet holding tanks and prevent clogging. They also prevent deposits from sticking to the inside of waste tanks. Toilet additives are necessary to make mobile sanitation systems work trouble free. Our flushwater tank additive keeps the water ‘fresh’, ensures a smoother, better flush and leaves a protective film in the toilet bowl.

What types of additives are available for chemical toilets ? There are additives for the waste holding tank, for the flushwater tank and there are maintenance products. Your porta potti in general requires two main chemicals, the chemical for the bottom "waste" tank, either Aquakem blue or green is suitable and is essential, and flushing fluid "Aqua rinse" which is optional and is added to the flushing water top tank. Although this is not essential it makes usage of a chemical toilet a more pleasant experience.
