Struvite

Build-up of decomposing organic waste masses in yor tank, or hard deposits which Block hoses and gauges.

 

Struvites are rough and porous, so they trap unhealthy, odour-causing bacteria in the tank, slowing drainage and hardening toilet paper. They present as white to yellowish or brownish-white pyramidal crystals - phosphate minerals made up of magnesium ammonium phosphate.

 

Struvites are the leading cause of black tank sensor failure.

In 1845, scientist Heinrich Christian Gottfried von Struve discovered that gases released from decomposing sewerage minerialise and cause sewer tanks and lines to be coated with cement-hard crystals. It is a problem in sewage and waste water treatment facilities all over the world, but only recently has it been discovered to be in most holding tanks.

 

These crystals build up in the Line below the toilet, in the corners and on the walls of the tank, especially on the sensors.
