I have used unique for a little more than a year and it is awesome. Never had any problems with solids left in the tank. Flows out smooth and fast and the sensors stay a lot cleaner and accurate as well. I park for 3 months at a time without any problems. I drop in double the pods before a drive and it seems to scrub the tank well too.

I was impressed with that. We just bought our first RV about two months ago. It's a 30-ft. Class C. We are moving cross country with it in about two months and we don't want any problems with our tanks so we're looking for the best of everything for our trip. This stuff looks like it might be up to the task. My 92-year old dad lives with us and will be riding with us during our move (which is why we bought the RV in the first place...his comfort) and he has stomach issues and so we want to make the trip as pleasant as possible for him by providing a clean and odor-free bathroom for the trip. Thanks for the great and timely video! I'm going to check this stuff out for sure.
Bless you!!! This is how we are supposed to treat our family. The US wants to shove our parents away and treat them as an inconvenience. Disgusting. Many of the Asian cultures keep their elders in the home and treat them extremely well AS IT SHOULD BE.
My wife Jo-Ann and I are Full Time RVers. We never flush any kind of toilet paper down the toilet. We have a trash can with a lid in the bathroom and we line it with a plastic bag. All the paper goes in there and then we throw it out in the trash. It doesn't stink , and we've never had a clogging issue. Our black tank is much easier to dump and flush too.
I didn’t see this video till today, but I ordered the Unique last week for our new to us 2017 Apex to clean everything good. So far I have been overly shocked at the “stuff” that has been removed from the tanks and the way the level sensors are actually showing the correct readings! Hands down beyond worth the money and highly suggest their other products too!
We’ve always used VINEGAR! Half a gallon in each tank once cleaned, everything comes out easily and no harsh chemicals or smell. Backwashing after each time you drain your tanks also keeps them healthy. Thank you for the video.
You sold me on this product! We are using it in our brand new Fifth wheel to see if we can prevent issues from developing or at least to minimize. Also use the toilet bowl cleaner. BTW, your rig is beautiful! Love the decor!👏👍🤩💥
We use a flush king to clean our tank i do it twice to mske sure they get clean and we use the blue brand yesterday I flush the tank 9 times and solid still coming out the blue brand may help with the smell but breaking down the solid not so much
Thank you for your video! A couple days ago, I was in a total panic, and I came across your video. I immediately went to their site, but I couldn't wait for delivery, so I went to Amazon and ordered there! Excellent advice for anyone who has an emergency! I was hospitalized a couple months ago, so my ex was "helping me out" (he was homeless at the time, but told everyone I needed help.). I had him watch me repeatedly before I let.him handle the tanks himself. So when I came home from the hospital I was told by someone else that security beat on the door to wake him because there was water pouring out if the back of the rv. It's a 2003 - the flush ball stuck slightly open. So, he's been gone 2 weeks now. The day before yesterday, my daughter came over, used the bathroom, and came out -"I'm sorry! i plugged the toilet! I told her I'd take care of it. So, when I went out to dump the tank (which my late husband dubbed "pulling the T-Handles"), I noticed that my ex had not only broken the handles off, but he had left the valve partially open.. i don't know, maybe he thought that might keep it from overflowing again! Anyway, that meant I had a pyramid. One that had probably been building up - and solidifying - since the first week of December! I had "tools" on hand - my late husband bought them before he got sick - and so I diligently studied everything I could find on what to do. NONE OF IT WORKED! So, for some reason, instead of a Google Search, I searched UA-cam! I ran into a video telling me about this UNIQUE stuff, I looked up their site, but I was DESPERATE! I recently had major GI surgery - they removed my entire large intestine - and things don't work the same! I went to Amazon - the price was $2 more, and I paid the extra to have it delivered faster! I saw the notification that delivery had been made, and I rushed out the door and didn't see it! I went to look outside the little fence. Nope! Just then a car with 2 women sped by,, slammed on the brakes, backed up and the driver said, "Amazon?" Yep! She said she'd bring it to me, and I met her halfway. I rushed in, put 2 oz. Into the toilet, and looked at the time. Started counting down the two hours and read about the product. Oh, first dose, double! Okay. Did that. Now, I have cut out everything I tried before I placed that order, bit if you've ever encountered this, you have some idea! Leave if to say i had become so desperate that I broke down and shut off the water and brought in the snake - determined to be extremely careful - I wouldn't put it in deep enough to risk puncturing the tank! Well, THAT wouldn't be a concern! It didn't go very far before it hit CONCRETE!!! So THIS UNIQUE STUFF better be able to perform a miracle! It was going on 24 hours since I had put the bathroom on "out of order". To prevent having to use it, I had not had anything to eat or drink. But I have an entirely messed up system, and even though they did that surgery, I still ended up septic again in December! So I have to be careful what I do! The park has restrooms, but I can't walk that far, and my ex burnt up my car just before be left, so I don't have transportation. So THAT PRODUCT had to perform a miracle - or I might end up in the hospital again. Well, I'm here writing this account, so you have to know - UNIQUE DIGEST IT IS THE MIRACLE I NEEDED! The "funny" thing is, after I hurriedly placed the order, I started reading on Unique's site, and they said that if you had my problem, the Digest it was NOT the product I needed! I panicked! But I decided to wait and see anyway. Thank God It WORKED!!!
I had a massive clog in my septic hose and unique worked wonderfully I just left it in for 24 hours and the next day it ran out liquid OU's from now on
We enjoy your video tips. I have used the Camco RV orange citrus pods from Walmart for several years. Never had a problem or Oder in our Jayco North point 310 fifth wheel. Only thing is the sensor sometimes will read 1/2 full. I’m going to try this to see if it clears it when it occurs.
We tried Unique Digest-it for the better part of a year. It worked great for odors in our black tank but it didn't dissolve the toilet paper and we tried regular single ply and RV rated. We also had a lot more solid waste than you would expect that never broke down. We would start with 5 gallons of water in our 47 gallon tank and 3 ounces of the product (Directions say add 2 ounces for a 40 gallon tank so we added one more ounce). We would also fill the bowl with water every time we used the bathroom before flushing to make sure we were using enough water. Every time we tried to dump the tank, it was blocked and I had to use a reverse flush valve. We contacted the company and their suggestion was to add more of the product after a few days. That didn't work either. Just made the process more costly. I know many people love the product but for us it didn't work. Eventually we went with a different product that has worked really well so far. YMMV
@@mistyaprilartist We had Kleen Tank clean out our tanks and they suggested using a Pinesol/Calgon Bath Beads Mix. Their reciope is to mix 40 ounces of Pine-Sol with enough water to just about fill a gallon jug. Top off with a half cup of Calgon Bath Beads. Shake well and let all beads dissolve. Use eight ounces in each tank. It's much cheaper and works great!
I just bought my 2004 keystone Everest fifth wheel, the person before… I believe they didn’t flush out their black tank before they let it sit for 6 months and now my tank is clogged… no solids come through when I dump. Will this break everything down and help my problem?
I full timed for 10 years and after I decided the knowledgeable people were not so knowledgeable quit using anything in my tanks. Can't figure out why people want a very clean, sanitized place for their poop or want a waste basket of used toilet paper in their RV.
My experience is that the DIGEST IT will not clear your sensors in two hours or two days, but 2-3 treatments over a couple of months will do the trick.
What an interesting intro to your YT channel! Have seen the company featured on one of my fav YT influencers (You, Me & the RV) and excited when I saw your channel name pop up. Very interesting content and am a NEW SUBSCRIBER!! Great material and presenter; can't wait to binge!! Y'all Be Safe!
I am currently using the unique brand and do find it to be a very good product, I was recently informed that since we have a Dometic Vacuflush system we need to be using the dometic product as it is not the tradiational gravity feed system - Your Thoughts on this matter? THX in advance
I’ve used Happy Campers for over a year and love it. Zero smells, no problems with solids or tank sensors. If that’s what he was using in this video he didn’t use it according to the instructions. Also note Happy Campers comments on using too little water: “Never put Happy Campers in a toilet or sink without lots of water. With very little water it is powerful enough to become as hard as cement. If you goof and do it, just be patient, add lots of water (hot water works faster) and it will dissolve so you can flush or drain sink. At that point it will always stay fully dissolved in water.”
I used unique a few years back it worked decent in breaking down waste but did just ok in the odor department @32 bucks a quart or a dollar an ounce it's a little pricey I use the rid x RV works very good in breaking down waste and controling odor
Been using Happy camper for a couple of years now. For the most part satisfied. Con is the mixing with warm water before pouring into tank. Just bought unique and am going to try it out. Thanks for video
I bought a used chevy van motorhome that has a "recirculating" toilet. Thetford model 80 ... I am trying to find natural and non chemical type of thing for smell etc. too. First time I've ever had one.. Have to prime with 3 gallons and it will fill when up to 7 I think.. then dump. No actual holding tank.
Question: You say a pack of yeast can be used (we are on septic in our sticks and bricks and I understand the add the yeast...). Do you recommend a tank treatment over a pack of yeast? Also, clean tank states not to use a tank treatment, but to put in the pinesol calgon mixture. I believe this mixture will kill the good bacteria. Can you please clarify treatment vs pinesol calgon?
I thought this was constipation relief! 😂😂 it took me 2 minutes to realize "cleaning out the tank" wasn't slang for taking a laxative haha I was like wtf dog food gotta do with anything?
I have used Unique products in the past as well as the 'blue' and TankTechsRX. I switched from Unique because it didn't seem to work as well in hot weather. Any info on that or if they have a product for hot weather?
Absolutely. They have the hot weather odor eliminator. When hot weather rolls around the bacteria will tend to dry out quicker. First tip is to keep the tanks with more water than normal. Second tip is to simply add ice from time to time to lower the tank temps. Third is to go with the odor eliminator from Unique. To be honest the odor eliminator is the same chemical makeup as the other brands that only take care of smells. The consideration is that those odor eliminators should be used only when needed. They do harm the bacteria in the tank and we want the bacteria to flourish. So best tips are 1) add more gallons of water to the black tank after flush 2) add ice to lower temps. 3) if needed add the odor eliminator along with the Digestit. Call it a “summer blend”
Just ordered it for my Houseboat. I hope it works! The Marina said the pervious owner let it sit and now they wont even try to pump it. They said everytime they pump it nothing comes out. They wont even try unless I do something 1st. Im soo lost ... I hope this works 🙏 send help 😂
Was wondering if you have any tech tips of keeping rodents out also getting the smells out of your heater duck work.. Just started watching your videos. Thanks Brian
Yeah, rodents! Rat ass bastards. Tips for keeping them out and best way to clean up after they've infested your camper would be awesome. Thanks for the great vids. Keep up the good work!
Botanical Rodent Repellant!!! Tractor Supply...comes in little bags..used before putting RV into storage..opened this season and No more traces of any criiters!!!
Plug up the holes where your rodents are coming in. They come in to nest in the fall. use steel wool that they can't chew. Spray straight vinegar on your air conditioning coils and that will kill most of the mildew.
Went to Amazon to buy this and there’s a bunch of types of Unique. Which one is this referring to? I was guessing the “cleaner liquid” based on the bottle image? There was a “digest it” one too… too many options 🤦♀️
My black tank stinks after three days using this product. We have now had our tank pressure wash. They said it is not breaking down and to use TST. If this does not work, an update will follow.
If it’s getting close to 90 degrees out side you can add their tank odor eliminator. The stink is dehydrated bacteria. You need to keep water in the tank and keep the bacteria hydrated.
Hey Tod! I'm renovating a 2010 Heartland 36' Bighorn 5th Wheel that has not been properly serviced and cared for. Black tank and both grey tanks sencors read 2/3 or more full even after dumping. I have made multiple attemps using differnt products each time, Bleach, vinegar baking soda plus the RV Tank Sencor cleaning stuff the sell at Walmart which of course did not work. Can't afford to call in a professional so what do I D.U.I it?
Used it for 2 seasons, but now it seems hard to find. Out of stock and some on Amazon have jumped in price, like 3 times as high if you can find it... inflation !! lol A sign of the times.
Obviously the "blue" brand is Happy Campers. I believe the instructions say to mix with at least a gallon of water, here you've mixed a scoop with maybe a cup of water. I'm not discounting Unique, but I can see several flaws with this "test"...I have no allegiance to any product, but am curious enough to try Unique.
That's great but being new to RVing I have to ask what exactly does this do for us? Does it drain quicker at the dumping station or before you leave a site with sewer hookup?
@@NationalRVTrainingAcademy do you know if this product would work in a residential septic tank? Great videos and information. Thank you and Happy July 4th.
If your solids aren't being flushed out, they accumulate in the tank. This creates odors and reduces capacity and eventually you'll have to replace the (full) tank which no one wants to do so it will cost big bucks.
Question I’ve already used some tst to breakdown the black and the grey tank and it’s still clogged can I use this unique with already having that tst in the tank ? Thanks Brian ps it’s a Winnebago Era with a macerator pump the pump seems to be working but maybe the impeller is bad , also if so can I replace it without draining the tanks as they don’t seem to want to drain
We have a macerator as well. All sorts of crap gets tangled around the impeller. We have to take it apart 2 or 3 times a month and clean it off. Then works good as new lol
This guy is a BLAST!!!!!!!! First impression he looks serious but he’s awesome!!! He deserves a raise!!!! Bring more videos!!!!
I have used unique for a little more than a year and it is awesome. Never had any problems with solids left in the tank.

Hey, can you use too much? I typically just pour it straight from the bottle into the toilet, but i know the instructions say to use around 2 oz.

Vinegar will soften and swell/deteriorate seals over time. Not as fast as bleach, though.

Very curious to see how Unique compares to Happy Camper. We’ve been pleased with Happy Camper, but this Unique has me curious as well.
that would be a good comparison
Live 24/7 in 5 th wheel camper, Unique works well for me .
Unique works good I been using it forever
Where you compensated for this review? I don’t have a problem with compensation but believe it should be acknowledged before giving a review… thanks
That stuff dose work well and controls odor as well
absolutely.
Could I use this in my septic tank?

We did this and we noticed no difference in what our tabs did compared to Unique. Unique also did not control the odor.
They have an odor control product. We’ll do a video on it
Finally Someone Cool, Who Knows The Right Things , B4 Stupid Things Get a Vote?!🇺🇸👍
Good information but I very rarely poop in my camper, almost everywhere I go has restrooms that I use for that purpose.
hey great vids, how about a vid on dirty power filter/solutions?
My experience is that the DIGEST IT will not clear your sensors in two hours or two days, but 2-3 treatments over a couple of months will do the trick.
for some it does, and others it doesn't

I believe this mixture will kill the good bacteria.
Can you please clarify treatment vs pinesol calgon?
Can you use it for a home septic tank? Like flush it down the toilet?
There are about 3 different Unique products on Amazon. Which is the exact product you used?
It’s the RV Digest-it
We been using HAPPY CAMPER and it works like they say, the reason why, u can use almost any t p the best is septic tank safe.
Just cleaned my black tank with it and it is amazing!
What did you use sir?
@@rybangarcia2459 I use Happy Camper

How do I remove Grandchildren deposited objects that cause blockage in my black water tank?
I tried a different brand that is supposed to be a good enzyme treatment but it smelled worse than my black tank! Does Unique have a strong odor?
When it’s hot the process can become pretty stinky. They have a tank deodorizer that will help in hot situations.
Will it turn sludge into water?
I thought this was constipation relief! 😂😂 it took me 2 minutes to realize "cleaning out the tank" wasn't slang for taking a laxative haha I was like wtf dog food gotta do with anything?
Will it sludge into water?
I have used Unique products in the past as well as the 'blue' and TankTechsRX. I switched from Unique because it didn't seem to work as well in hot weather. Any info on that or if they have a product for hot weather?
Absolutely. They have the hot weather odor eliminator.
When hot weather rolls around the bacteria will tend to dry out quicker. First tip is to keep the tanks with more water than normal.
Second tip is to simply add ice from time to time to lower the tank temps.
Third is to go with the odor eliminator from Unique. To be honest the odor eliminator is the same chemical makeup as the other brands that only take care of smells.
The consideration is that those odor eliminators should be used only when needed. They do harm the bacteria in the tank and we want the bacteria to flourish. So best tips are
1) add more gallons of water to the black tank after flush
2) add ice to lower temps.
3) if needed add the odor eliminator along with the Digestit. Call it a “summer blend”
Just ordered it for my Houseboat. I hope it works! The Marina said the pervious owner let it sit and now they wont even try to pump it. They said everytime they pump it nothing comes out. They wont even try unless I do something 1st. Im soo lost ... I hope this works 🙏 send help 😂
what does it do to your pipes and tanks though? Because a lot of these products actually do alot of damage in the long run....
The enzymes eat the “food” so it’s not corrosive to plastic. But ALWAYS check with your manufacturer first.
this work for old house septic tank???
The RV Unique says it's "septic safe". Does that mean you could use this stuff in a home septic tank?
Have you tried tank tech rx? It’s a probiotic. Works great.
Witch bottle is this there is several diffrent ones
Great Video. I just ordered mine.
Hope you enjoy it!
Ordered mine within ten minutes of seeing the video. It was delivered 4 hours later! Hope this works, because if not I'm in BIG trouble.
@@melodygrim471 It worked great for me. Good luck
Was wondering if you have any tech tips of keeping rodents out also getting the smells out of your heater duck work.. Just started watching your videos.
Thanks Brian
Not yet! But we'll put it on the list.
Yeah, rodents! Rat ass bastards. Tips for keeping them out and best way to clean up after they've infested your camper would be awesome. Thanks for the great vids. Keep up the good work!
@@lishster We're touching on that a bit next week.
Botanical Rodent Repellant!!! Tractor Supply...comes in little bags..used before putting RV into storage..opened this season and No more traces of any criiters!!!
Plug up the holes where your rodents are coming in. They come in to nest in the fall. use steel wool that they can't chew.
Spray straight vinegar on your air conditioning coils and that will kill most of the mildew.
I tried Unique to clean my sensors, so they would start working again. Used the whole bottle in a 30 Gal. tank. Didn't work. :-(
You may have some other underlying issues. I’d let them know.
Use Walex Commando BUT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. You may have to do two or three treatments with the water all the way to the top.
Went to Amazon to buy this and there’s a bunch of types of Unique. Which one is this referring to? I was guessing the “cleaner liquid” based on the bottle image? There was a “digest it” one too… too many options 🤦♀️
It’s the digest it product
My black tank stinks after three days using this product.
We have now had our tank pressure wash. They said it is not breaking down and to use TST.
If this does not work, an update will follow.
If it’s getting close to 90 degrees out side you can add their tank odor eliminator. The stink is dehydrated bacteria. You need to keep water in the tank and keep the bacteria hydrated.
What brand or chemical is this sir?
Unique RV Tank cleaner. they have a range of products.
@@NationalRVTrainingAcademy thanks
WIIL UNIQUE DISSOLVE THE ACCUMULATED POOP IN THE CORNERS NEAR THE EXIT HOLE AND SENSORS?
Hey Tod! I'm renovating a 2010 Heartland 36' Bighorn 5th Wheel that has not been properly serviced and cared for. Black tank and both grey tanks sencors read 2/3 or more full even after dumping. I have made multiple attemps using differnt products each time, Bleach, vinegar baking soda plus the RV Tank Sencor cleaning stuff the sell at Walmart which of course did not work. Can't afford to call in a professional so what do I D.U.I it?
Used it for 2 seasons, but now it seems hard to find. Out of stock and some on Amazon have jumped in price, like 3 times as high if you can find it... inflation !! lol A sign of the times.
Fingers crossed for non sponsored video! We’ll see what’s up
If we do a sponsored video we will disclose it.
do you think this will dissolve coffee grounds?
maybe. It's probably best not to put coffee grounds down the sink if possible.
Will this work on septic tanks ? Seems like it should/would ?
have you used that over the bio method?
Is that Unique RV Digest?
Yes
Obviously the "blue" brand is Happy Campers. I believe the instructions say to mix with at least a gallon of water, here you've mixed a scoop with maybe a cup of water. I'm not discounting Unique, but I can see several flaws with this "test"...I have no allegiance to any product, but am curious enough to try Unique.
That's great but being new to RVing I have to ask what exactly does this do for us? Does it drain quicker at the dumping station or before you leave a site with sewer hookup?
This is to treat your black tank. Just like a septic tank, you want to have something to break down the solids in your black tank.
@@NationalRVTrainingAcademy do you know if this product would work in a residential septic tank? Great videos and information. Thank you and Happy July 4th.
If your solids aren't being flushed out, they accumulate in the tank. This creates odors and reduces capacity and eventually you'll have to replace the (full) tank which no one wants to do so it will cost big bucks.
Hi, can this be used in home septic tank?
If you have yeast to your home septic system it'll do the same thing. The RV park at the NRVTA actually uses yeast in our septic systems.
Question I’ve already used some tst to breakdown the black and the grey tank and it’s still clogged can I use this unique with already having that tst in the tank ? Thanks Brian ps it’s a Winnebago Era with a macerator pump the pump seems to be working but maybe the impeller is bad , also if so can I replace it without draining the tanks as they don’t seem to want to drain
We have a macerator as well. All sorts of crap gets tangled around the impeller. We have to take it apart 2 or 3 times a month and clean it off. Then works good as new lol
