I just got back from a trip where I took and used a port-a-potti for the first time and have a couple of questions.

I am still using the chemicals that came with the unit and will switch to Home Brand Nappisan for the bottom tank when the current stuff runs out. What are people using in the flushing tank - Nappisan as well?

The chemicals seemed to work well but when the slide is opened the smell is still a bit overpowering - is there any additional 'deodoriser' that might help reduce the smell from below when doing the business.

Also I did not empty the unit until I got back home where it was quite a bit warmer than from where I left and combined with the natural fermentation process meant that the lower tank internal pressure was quite high (car is required when opening) and resulted in the lower tank to starting to blow up like a balloon - no leaks but still a concern. Any advice on how to deal with this.

The bottom tanl has now been washed out etc - any hints for storage - leave a litre or so of water in it with chemicals in or leave completely dry and open with maybe a squirt of deoderiser.

Cheers

Garry
