Valterra RV Water Holding Tank Treatment

Valterra Holding Tank Treatments: Clean Tanks, No Compromises

When it comes to keeping your RV's black and gray water systems odor-free and functioning properly, few names carry as much credibility as Valterra. Valterra's strategic acquisition of Odorlos eco-friendly tank treatments and Monochem deodorizers and cleaning products positioned the company as a dedicated authority in the RV sanitation space — not just a general-purpose parts supplier. Their RV water holding tank treatment lineup reflects that focus, offering purpose-built formulas designed specifically for the demands of RV living.

The Odorlos Line: Science-Backed Odor Elimination

The centerpiece of Valterra's holding tank treatment catalog is the Odorlos product family. When added to holding tanks, Odorlos provides the naturally occurring bacteria with a continuous supply of the best alternative energy source to pure oxygen — nitrates — resulting in thorough, chemistry-driven odor suppression rather than simply masking smells with fragrance. The Odorlos liquid holding tank treatment is an industrial-strength, environmentally friendly toilet chemical so effective that it only takes 4 ounces to eliminate all holding tank odors, liquefy waste and tissue, and lubricate valves.

Odorlos is available in multiple convenient formats to suit different camping styles and storage preferences. The lineup includes a 168 oz. bottle, a 68 oz. self-measuring bottle, 4 oz. bottle 9-packs, a 6 lb. tub, and pre-measured dry packets. The dry packet format is especially popular among weekend campers: premeasured 4 oz. tear-and-pour packets are great for quick trips and easy storage.

Pure Power Blue: All-Around Tank Maintenance

For RVers who prefer a liquid drop-in approach, Valterra's Pure Power Blue formula is a go-to solution. Pure Power Blue helps to break down the waste in your tank and eliminates odors, ensuring that all biodegradable material dissolves in your black water tank — and it can also be used in your gray water tank to make sure everything is being dissolved as it should be.

Eco-Friendly Formulations Built for RV Life

A defining characteristic of Valterra's tank treatments is their environmental and safety profile. These treatments are safe and effective for use in RV and marine holding tanks as well as septic systems, and are composed of 100% biodegradable, eco-friendly, formaldehyde-free, and non-toxic ingredients that maintain effectiveness even when exposed to extreme temperatures. That last point matters enormously for RVers camping in both the desert heat of summer and the cold of early spring or fall.

Dosing is simple: just one ounce of treatment is required for every 10 gallons of tank capacity. The self-measuring bottle format makes this even easier, taking the guesswork out of each application. The formulation accelerates the breakdown of tissue and waste to help prevent clogs, and its scent-free nature means you won't be trading sewage odors for an overpowering chemical smell.
