Test report from 17.06.2018
Was the Aqua-Kem Blue concentrate used for the mobile toilet or for the cassette toilet?
„Yes in two weeks Italy vacation“
At what temperatures did the test take place?
„about 15 degrees (initially at night) to over 30 degrees in the second week.“
How easy was handling and dosage in the test?
„At first I was skeptical - until now we had always used tabs, toilet open, tab in, rinse with water, everything fits. But the decisive advantage of this product is the tuning to the use, the temperature, simply times 10 ml more dose and it does not smell bad even at high temperatures
Really great I found that for the trip home - of course you empty the toilet before - but then throw in a tab for a few hours? - then driven home mostly out of stinginess "without" - and at home it stank so that we could have used the toilets at public rest areas right away. :-( From this product we could simply fill 20 ml, a little less water to dilute and everything fine at home, although we came only the day after to empty the toilet“
Which product did you use before?
„So far, always tabs - last from Dometic "Tab Time" - which smelled good, very simple to use, you do not have to unpack, the cover dissolves - but just pre-dosed and not at temperature or only dosed for one day...“
How well were the odours absorbed during the test?
„Even if the product is to smell of lavender - I found it initially rather neutral (although I love lavender and my caravan already alone by various "bags" in the cabinets that has so as a basic odor ;-) - after a few days, especially in the hot phase it smelled then quite slightly chemical, but since we had already much worse products and possibly it was also because we had dosed too little, because it was in the first week of vacation rather so about the 20-24 degrees and then became hot (30 ++)
Duration of action should be 5 days, we have emptied after 4 days at the latest (forced - 4 girls often have to go to the bathroom!!!) the first 3 days it was always absolutely inconspicuous, then you smelled something, but not urine, so okay“
Was the smell pleasant for you in the test?
„Yes, although (for me ;-)) too little of lavender. But no pungent, no pervasive odor, even if once again one of the kids had neither "toilet flap" nor toilet door closed (how they always manage ...)“
How do you evaluate the overall result after longer use?
„If you had once used to the dosing - which, by the way, I have not made outside (and therefore not with the integrated measuring cup), but inside with a small plastic cup with scale (solid urine cup from the doctor ;-)) Because as beautiful as in the video fits the bottle unfortunately not with us in the caravan, see pictures
Was initially afraid that the intense blue colors my toilet, but fortunately that did not happen. After emptying inside in the toilet means through the flap pure, the cup still 2-3 times filled with water, so that the somewhat viscous Aqua Kem was again out of the cup and a little longer still rinsed with water, ready“
Would you recommend the Aqua Kem Blue concentrate after the test?
„Relatively unrestricted
well packaged arrived, with childproof closure, temperature (and possibly time-dependent for 1-2 days less) to dose, no pervasive odors, emptying has also worked well, paper was apparently relatively well dissolved
It would be nice if a simple cup for the dosage would be enclosed, because I think I would find that so difficult with the dark, loo cup, the scale is also visible inside, but it must be very bright to be able to read this well in the small, dark gray cup (normal Dometic loo)“
Would you continue to buy this product?
„Yes, it is not the cheapest, but can be dosed individually, no odors....“
How do you perceive the price-performance ratio?
„1.21 € for one application at standard dosage is compared to the tabs that we have used so far rather much. Keeps but (with us) 4 days, we emptied the toilet because it was full, not because it stunk beastly, as with some other products, that's 4 fillings in 14 days of vacation, so a bottle lasts at least 3 vacations - and for what you spend money on vacation... From there, after I am satisfied, the price-performance is fine“
Overall impression:
„+ arrived well packed
+ with childproof closure
+ temperature (and possibly time-dependent for 1-2 days less) to dose
+ no pervasive odors
+ emptying has also worked well, paper was apparently dissolved relatively well
- somewhat more expensive than others
- no dosing cup
- very, very blue - I'm still afraid that I'll miss a blob of the product in the toilet, which will then discolor the bowl (I've already had this at home with a toilet cleaner, which had colored the toilet seat)“

Overall impression:
„Thretford Aqua-Kem Blue concentrate is easy to store because the smaller bottle takes up less space. The small application amount with the measuring cup of the cassette toilet very good to dose. The smell of the agent is pleasant and the odors of the toilet are well absorbed. All solid components in the cassette are decomposed within a short time, so you can empty it without problems even after 1 day.
The only drawback: the agent unfortunately colors everything blue when you spill, but that is so with any toilet product. It can be simply washed off with water on most materials.
Conclusion: We will definitely buy the Thretford Aqua-Kem Blue concentrate and also recommend it.“

Which product did you use before?
„So far we have used the Aqua Kem Green.“
How well were the odours absorbed during the test?
„Even at high temperatures, the toilet did not smell. This was particularly important to us in our VW T4 California, since the sanitary, living and sleeping areas share the same space due to the design“
Was the smell pleasant for you in the test?
„Aqua Kem Blue concentrate has a pleasant and discreet smell and is somewhat reminiscent of dishwashing detergent.“
How do you evaluate the overall result after longer use?
„Even after prolonged use, unpleasant odors were absent. As usual from Aqua Kem, the decomposition is very good, which makes emptying easier. The bottle retains the inherent odor of the concentrate very well and takes up very little space due to its small size. A clear plus point when storage space is limited.“
Would you recommend the Aqua Kem Blue concentrate after the test?
„ Definitely yes!“
Would you continue to buy this product?
„We will stay with Aqua-Kem. Unpleasant odors do not occur. Since in our camper van the storage space is limited and on longer trips may still have a spare bottle with, the concentrate is a very good alternative.“

„Even if there are cheaper additives, the quality plays a decisive role here. Who wants to spoil the most beautiful time of the year with annoying toilet odor?“
Overall impression:
„The quality fits. The toilet still smells fresh with the Aqua-Kem Blue concentrate even after prolonged use and at high temperatures. Due to the small bottle size also have other things space.“

Thank you for this good product!“
