Two ounces treats a 40-gallon tank, and the one-gallon jug covers a full season for most RVers and boaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've ever cracked open an RV that sat in the summer sun with a half-full black tank, you already know why holding tank treatment isn't optional. Camco's TST Orange treatment is what keeps that trip from turning ugly. It's a liquid you pour straight down the toilet, and it goes to work breaking down solid waste and toilet tissue so everything flows out clean on dump day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula does two jobs at once. First, it digests waste and tissue so it doesn't pack up and clog the bottom of the tank. Second, it deodorizes, holding back odor for up to seven days on a single dose. That orange scent isn't perfume covering up a problem. It's the smell you get when the treatment is actually keeping the tank under control. For a weekend at the lake or a long stretch of full-timing, that's the difference between a tank you forget about and one you dread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDosing is simple. Two ounces treats a tank up to 40 gallons. A one-gallon jug holds 128 ounces, so you're looking at roughly 64 treatments before you need another bottle. That's a full season for most weekend campers, and it stores easily in a basement bay or under the sink. Pour it in after you dump, add a little water to the empty tank, and you're set for the next few days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing we like about this formula: no formaldehyde. Some older tank chemicals lean on it, and a handful of states restrict formaldehyde-based treatments at dump stations because of how they hit septic systems. TST Orange skips it entirely and is septic-tank safe, so you can dump at home, at a campground, or at a marine pump-out without worrying about killing the bacteria a septic system needs to work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also lubricates your tank sensors. If you've owned an RV for more than a season, you've probably watched the black tank readout claim it's full when you just dumped it. That's usually gunk clinging to the sensor probes. Keeping a treatment like this in the tank helps keep those probes clean so the gauge tells you the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoaters, this one works for you too. The same formula that handles an RV black tank handles a marine holding tank. If your boat has a fixed head and a holding tank you pump out at the dock, a couple ounces after each pump-out keeps things civil below deck. Nobody wants that smell drifting up the companionway on a hot afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy a gallon instead of drop-in packets or a smaller bottle? Cost per dose, mostly. If you camp more than a few weekends a year, the gallon is the cheapest way to stay treated. Measure two ounces with the cap or a small cup, pour it in, done. There's no mixing, no dissolving, no waiting for a packet to break down. The liquid goes to work the moment it hits the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few honest notes. This is a black-tank and holding-tank treatment, built for the tank that takes your toilet waste. Use it as directed and give the tank enough water to let the formula move around. And like any tank treatment, it works best when you dump on a regular schedule instead of letting a tank sit full for weeks. Treatment helps a lot, but it's not a substitute for a good dump routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStorage is easy. One gallon takes up about the footprint of a jug of washer fluid, so it tucks into a basement bay or a cockpit locker and stays out of the way until you need it. Keep the cap tight so the orange scent stays in the jug. For long-term winter storage, bring it inside like you would any liquid you don't want to freeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamco has been building RV and marine sanitation gear since 1966, and the TST line is one of their long-running staples. It's a no-drama, do-the-job treatment. Pour it, forget it, dump clean. That's really all you want from a tank chemical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTreats a holding tank up to 40 gallons with just 2 ounces, so a single gallon covers roughly 64 treatments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBreaks down solid waste and toilet tissue so the tank empties clean on dump day\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eControls odor for up to 7 days on one dose, even in summer heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFormaldehyde-free formula that's septic-tank safe for dumping at home, campgrounds, or marine pump-outs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLubricates tank sensor probes to help keep your black-tank gauge reading accurately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFresh orange scent instead of a heavy chemical smell\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLiquid pours straight in with no mixing, dissolving, or packets to wait on\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks in both RV black tanks and marine holding tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-gallon jug stores easily in a basement bay or cockpit locker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Camco reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eHow much treatment do I use per tank?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTwo ounces treats a holding tank up to 40 gallons.
