When Nature Calls use a Thetford Porta Potti 365:
Why do I use the thetford porta potti 365? Well no one likes to be caught short and no where to go, and when you really need to go, there is only one thing you should be thinking about, the Thetford porta potti 365 is a must for your camping kit.
The Thetford is compact enough to sit in any postion and is very descrete, although it havs a compact design the creature comforts of a full size (home) tolilet are still there to be had, I have this Porta Potti in my motorhome and have found it to be very robust and easy to use and clean.
When it comes to breaking down the waste, Biomagic seems to be the best product that I have used to break it down, it has a lovely smell that does kill those odours and it is safe for the environment and septic tanks. It seems to have this uncanny ability to lubricate rubber seals of the system too.
How to use your thetford Porta Potti 365:
After you have removed your Porta Potti from the box locate the release tab and separate the two tanks and lid assembly, Remove the thetford sample bottle and put aside if you are using Biomagic. One you have separted these two tanks follow the steps below:
1: With your finger place a small amout of biomagic around the seal on the top of the waste tank. (to do this pull the handle at the front of the unit) once you have lubricated the seal make sure to close the handle again.
2: Then simply grab the lower tank and remove the screw lid from the waste exit pipe (should be located on top of the waste tank) then twist the pipe towards the outside of the tank. Place the tank on its end with the waste pipe facing upwards. Pour 2 litres of water in to the waste tank exit pipe and then add up to 100mils of biomagic.
3: Screw on the waste pipe lid, twist pipe back into the centre of the waste tank and lock together the waste and rinse water tank.
4: Remove the plastic from the seat. Remove the rinse water tank screw and fill with 15 lirtes of water and up to 50 mils of biomagic. Note: the more you use here the less smell you will have, and it will help keep the seal lubricated as we did in step 1.
5: Replace the rinse lid, test the flushing plunger and wawy you go.
