Sani-Tank is designed to clean and maintain recirculating toilet systems. It is formulated to fight the organic residue that accumulates on the surface inside the toilet holding tanks and on the recirculating pump and maceration systems. If left untreated, the organic tar-like residue that builds up will cause severe malodors and can affect proper operation of internal waste processing systems by constricting pumps and motors, leading to excessive wear and tear. These residues can even be made worse by using a quat-based toilet deodorant. But regular holding tank cleanings with Sani-Tank will remove these residues and prevent them from accumulating to significant levels in the future; allowing you to avoid odors and system malfunctions.

Oftentimes when people hear that something has a low or high pH, they worry that it is dangerous. But this is not the case, pH alone cannot tell you if a substance is dangerous or not. Anyway, bases are typically considered more dangerous than acids! But what is pH? A substances pH is simply the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) of the material when in solution (usually water). It is a numeric (logarithmic) scale used to specify how acidic or basic an aqueous solution is and an aqueous solution is just a solution where water is the solvent.
Now you might be wondering, what makes an aqueous (aq.) solution acidic or basic? Essentially, acids have more hydrogen ions (H+) than pure water and bases have less hydrogen ions than pure water. This is because an acid will release a hydrogen ion into an aq. solution, while a base will release a hydroxide ion (OH-) – by accepting the hydrogen ion. Did you know that this also makes them taste different? Not that you should try it, but if you taste an acid it will taste sour (like lemon juice) and a base will taste bitter (like milk of magnesia). I would imagine that people – perhaps even you – who use disinfectants hear the word “quats” quite frequently. But do you know what quats are? “Quats” is short for quaternary ammonium compounds, which are similar to ammonium ions in structure. Just instead of being 4 hydrogens surrounding 1 nitrogen, they have 4 R groups. Now these R groups can be many different things, but still be a quaternary ammonium compound. They can either be an alkyl group, which is a chain of carbons and hydrogens or they can be an aryl group, which is a ring of carbons and hydrogens. These chains and rings can also contain other molecules, such as oxygen. |
