CamcoFormaldehyde-Free100% Biodegradable Camco 40227 TST Fresh Scent RV Toilet Treatment -- 1 Gallon

A full gallon of Camco's proven calcium nitrate black tank treatment. TST Fresh Scent eliminates holding tank odors at the source, accelerates waste and tissue breakdown to prevent clogs, and cleans level sensors so your tank gauge reads accurately -- all without formaldehyde or harsh chemical smells.

Keep Your Black Tank Clean, Odor-Free, and Reading Right

RV holding tank odors aren't just unpleasant -- they signal that bad bacteria and hydrogen sulfide gas are winning inside your tank. Camco TST Fresh Scent works differently than older formaldehyde-based treatments: the calcium nitrate formula introduces oxygen into the tank environment, allowing beneficial aerobic bacteria to outcompete the odor-producing anaerobic bacteria. The result is genuine odor control that doesn't just mask smells with fragrance.

The 1-gallon jug gives you a serious supply for extended trips, full-time RV living, or treating multiple units. At 4 oz per 40-gallon tank per week, one gallon covers roughly 32 standard tank treatments -- that's most of a camping season from a single purchase.

Odor Elimination

Calcium nitrate creates an oxygen-rich environment that suppresses odor-causing anaerobic bacteria -- stops smells at the source, not just at the nose.

Waste and Tissue Breakdown

Accelerates decomposition of waste and RV-grade tissue to reduce the risk of clogs and pyramid plugs during and between dump cycles.

Sensor Cleaning

Lubricates and cleans holding tank level sensors to restore accurate readings -- critical for knowing when it's actually time to dump.

Works in All Conditions

Effective across a wide temperature range for year-round use in any climate, with guidance for high-heat situations above 85 deg F.

Dosing Guide

Getting the dose right means better performance and no wasted product. Here are the recommended amounts straight from the label:

  • Standard black tank (up to 40 gallons, up to 7 days): 4 oz per treatment cycle.
  • Longer holding periods, tanks over 40 gallons, or temps above 85 deg F: Add an extra 2-4 oz as needed.
  • Portable toilets: 2 oz into the holding tank, followed by enough water to cover the bottom of the tank.
  • Grey water tanks: 2 oz poured through the sink drain, followed by 30 seconds of running water to flush through.
Sensor Cleaning Tip: TST's formula coats and cleans the probes inside your holding tank as it works, helping restore accurate level readings on tanks where sensors have been fouled by waste buildup. For best results, empty and flush waste tanks weekly regardless of the indicated level.
Best Practices for Full-Timers: Full-time RV residents typically go through their black tank faster and in warmer conditions (especially in southern climates or summer travel). Bump your dose to 6-8 oz per cycle and dump weekly even if the tank gauge reads less than full. TST is safe for any properly managed dump station or septic system.
Maintenance Routine:
  • Add treatment immediately after each dump, before waste accumulates.
  • Pour directly into the toilet bowl and flush down with a full bowl of water.
  • Flush tanks thoroughly with fresh water at each dump cycle to remove residue.
  • For grey tanks, treat monthly or when odors develop at the drain.
Works With: Any standard RV black tank, cassette tank, or portable toilet. Compatible with all standard RV dump stations and residential septic systems. Safe for all RV toilet types including china, porcelain, and plastic bowls.
