Say goodbye to odors, sensor issues, and waste buildup in your RV holding tanks with Tank Tune-Up. Designed with powerful, eco-friendly ingredients, Tank Tune-Up’s powder formula goes to work instantly, breaking down waste and eliminating foul smells in your RV. 

How Tank Tune-Up Works 

If you’re the type who likes knowing exactly what goes into keeping your RV tanks fresh, this section is for you. But if you’re just here for the highlights, rest assured—Tank Tune-Up uses only effective, science-backed ingredients without any fillers.

Now, let’s break down the science behind each ingredient, so you know exactly what’s doing the heavy lifting.

Sodium Percarbonate

When added to water, this ingredient releases hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate. This reaction creates oxygen bubbles, which trap smells and promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Sodium Carbonate

Also known as Soda Ash, this ingredient acts as a pH buffer and cleaning agent. It stabilizes the environment for efficient waste decomposition and cleans tank surfaces and sensors.

Sodium Citrate

Sodium citrate softens water, which enhances the effectiveness of detergents and soaps. It works to dissolve existing deposits in your tanks and on your sensors and prevents future buildup.

Bacillus Bacteria

This beneficial bacteria digests organic waste, converting it into water and carbon dioxide, thus effectively reducing odors and liquefying solids.

Enzymes

Tank Tune-Up uses a powerful combination of four enzymes—amylase, protease, cellulase, and lipase—that each target different waste components. Amylase breaks down starches, protease handles proteins, cellulase tackles cellulose from toilet paper, and lipase works on fats and oils. By breaking down these materials, the enzymes create simple nutrients for the bacteria to thrive, keeping your tank clean and odor-free.

Helpful Tips to Tune Up Your Tanks

Keeping your RV tanks in prime condition doesn’t have to be complicated. Following a few simple tips can make all the difference in keeping your tanks fresh, odor-free, and functioning at their best. These best practices will help you get the most out of Tank Tune-Up and maintain peak holding tank health.

1. Use Enough Water

A well-hydrated tank helps the enzymes and bacteria move freely, ensuring even waste breakdown. Ensure you are using one to three gallons of water when mixing Tank Tune-Up in your toilet or sink. Then, use an additional one to three gallons of water to rinse the product down. 

2. Don't Be Afraid to Use More Product 

For tanks with heavy buildup or persistent odors, a little extra Tank Tune-Up can go a long way. Increase the dosage slightly (approximately half a scoop) to handle tougher waste and buildup, giving the enzymes and bacteria more resources to get the job done effectively.

3. Keep Waste Valves Closed Between Dumps

Leaving valves open can lead to clogs, odors, and the dreaded “poo-pyramid”—a buildup that’s difficult to remove. Only open the valve when it’s time to empty the tank. This gives Tank Tune-Up time and enough water to do its job effectively.

4. Incorporate a Moving Day Deep Clean Routine

For tough buildup or a deep tank clean, add Tank Tune-Up and plenty of water to an empty tank the night before a travel day. This extra time allows the bacteria and enzymes to start breaking down stubborn waste and residue. Then, as you drive, the natural sloshing in the tank helps loosen up buildup. Once you reach your campsite, empty the tank and follow up with a thorough rinse to remove any remaining debris and chunks.

5. Repeat Regularly for Best Results

To keep your tank in top condition, use Tank Tune-Up after every dump. This simple routine keeps your tank cleaner and fresher by preventing waste buildup and odors. Making Tank Tune-Up part of your regular maintenance means your tanks are always ready for the next adventure, leaving you with one less thing to worry about on each trip.
