Aqua Kem

Water System

Thetford Aqua Kem, toilet chemical, cassette chemical, blue chemical, green chemical, holding tank treatment

Aqua Kem is Thetford's range of chemical treatments for cassette toilets and black water holding tanks, designed to break down waste, control odour, and lubricate the blade valve.

Available in liquid (Aqua Kem Blue, Green) and drop-in tablet form. The "Green" formula is biodegradable and, in some countries, is approved for disposal into regular household sewage or a septic tank. Cassette toilet contents must only be emptied at black water dump stations or motorhome service points — never into grey water drains or storm drains. Use about 100ml per cassette filling. Do not mix different brands.
