We have a Dometic 18L portaloo which I finally decided to take away and use in November. Problem is I didn't read the instructions before heading off. Had the chemicals but didn't realise it wanted 12+ litres of water in the holding tank and flush tank to work. Unfortunately that was the trip I had bottled drinking water and not a jerry.
Question is - do I have to follow the instructions to the letter or can I skimp a little on water?
Thanks, Peter

Skimp on water? Are you seriously asking that question :D
Get the mix wrong and you will end up in the ****!
My Porta-Potti only requires water in the flush tank, the holding tank only has the correct amount of chemicals, a few capfuls.
I don't put any water in the flush tank till I set up camp (usually a river or creek nearby).
Lately I have switched over to a 5L garden sprayer to flush the bowl, does a better job and uses less water as well.
No need to carry all that water, fill it up when you need it, Regards Frank.
Chemicals?
you're not( I cant believe I'm saying this) still using chemicals??:o
I've never used it so yes have chemicals it came with. In saying that, I read this thread last night and now understand there are alternatives.
I believe Mrs HH is the head witch when it comes to these recipes--:angel:
