I recently began using TankTechsRx Stephen mentioned above. About two weeks prior to a trip to Acadia at the beginning of the month, I treated both black and grey. Grey tank was really, really, really foul.

I recently began using TankTechsRx Stephen mentioned above. About two weeks prior to a trip to Acadia at the beginning of the month, I treated both black and grey. Grey tank was really, really, really foul.
I did initial treatment by adding 1/3 cup to both tanks, filling grey tank and adding about 15 gallons or so to black tank. Prior to leaving for Acadia, I emptied grey tank (at home). Virtually no odor. I emptied black tank upon arrival at campground. While at campground (one week), it didn't make sense to treat tanks. No noticeable odor at all while camping. Emptied both upon leaving.
Upon return home I treated both tanks with about half as much as I used initially. I filled grey tank and added about ten gallons or so water to black. Before we leave for Assateague in a few weeks, I'll repeat the process.
I really don't want to test the "water resistance" feature of my new iPhone so I prefer not to lower it into the toilet to inspect black tank, but I can tell you there is absolutely no odor in the Pod. There was before.
I did write to the company to ask about preferred long term storage for the product (unused). They didn't respond. As it is a probiotic, I would imagine best would be cool and dark. Not sure about shelf life, but if it's like yeast it probably doesn't "activate" until it is in contact with nasties.
