Has anyone else tried the green TST liquid holding tank/toilet treatment?
It didn't work at all for us. I even used twice the recommended amount but we had terrible odor.
I never had a problem with Aqua Keem. I went back to that and no more odor.

I just finished a trial with TST Orange with several bottles over several months with several pump-outs and "refills." The TST Orange flunked in my book. Horrible smell at recommended dose. Using twice, four times, and ten times the recommended dose made little to no difference. I decided that TST is an acronym for This Stuff 'Tinks.
I have been hoping to find a non-formaldehyde product that works. It certainly wasn't TST Orange and it sounds like it won't be TST Green either. Coincidentally, just last night I pumped my tank and dumped in TST Green to give it a try. Sounds like I shouldn't hold my breath waiting for it to work. On second thought, maybe I should hold my breath.
Has anyone used or heard of Happy Camper Tank Treatment? Their website promises "[t]here is no odor at all - even when you dump." They offer a money back guarantee if it doesn't work like they say it does. Here is their website. I would love any feedback before I try it. I'd rather use the experience of your nose than spend another trip with a dud product.
I forgot to add - I looked into Odorlos after hearing favorable comments like the ones from from Peg and Jeepster. It seems to work well for some users but others say it tends to poop out (sorry about the bad pun) at temps above 85 or so. I boat at Lake Powell where the entire boating season is above 85 most every day. So I didn't try Odorlos.
I have used Aqua Keem blue liquid in our recirculating toilet for 3 years now. The recommended 8 oz has always worked. We have gone as long as 3 weeks in hot weather without emptying the toilet to the holding tank with no odor. Keep in mind this is one of those toilets that recirculates the dirty water until the toilet is full and then you drain it to the holding tank. Never a problem.
I tried the TST because the guy at the RV place said it was the hottest seller and they had 3X as many choices of TST. So I figured it had to be a great product-- WRONG.

I have the heat like you to deal with daily temps over 100 degrees. I use a Groco Sweettank for day to day control and also added Raritan's KO when on board. The KO got expensive so I tried a Oxy product bought at walmart in the rv section and I am really happy with it. And it is cheap. Also I( have a 2" vent line from my tank. Inside the boat can get to 120 degrees when we are not on board.
Good gosh, our boat never gets above 85F inside so heat really isnt an issue. The lake stays around 88F so the hull is never warmer than that. Ive noticed if the tanks are almost full you can start to smell it but we rarely lets our tanks get 100% full.
