Is Rid-X Safe For RV Tanks?



Until I moved to New Mexico, I never had to deal with septic tanks and their maintenance as we had a sewer system in Los Angeles County.

Now, at the beginning of each month, I pour in a one month's box of powdered Rix-X down the toilet as I have a septic tank system.

The question came up at Do It Yourself RV of, Is Rid-X safe for RV tanks?

Here's their short answer:

Cleaning and treating our RV water tanks may not be a fun process, but it’s a necessary one. Picking the right cleaning agent will help keep the system running smoothly, reduce odors, and prevent blockages. With so many products on the market, many people have wondered, “Is Rid-X safe for RV tanks?”

Rid-X is safe to use in RV tanks as long as it is only applied in small quantities. Usually a mixture of 3 oz Rid-X and 1 gallon of water is enough to clean a standard tank. If this substance is used too often, it can slow down the helpful bacteria in your tank that break down waste.

At the end of the day, it is generally safe to use Rid-X in your RV tanks, but it may not be the perfect solution. This chemical is quite potent and needs to be diluted so it doesn’t cause problems. It certainly has helpful benefits, but you may want to consider alternative methods as well. Below we’ll discuss the pros and cons of using Rid-X in your RV tanks.

Personally, I've never used Rid-X, nor have I thought of using it, in my RV holding tanks. But it was a good question to ask anyway.
