Product Review May 2012

One of the least favorite chores an RV’er must deal with is sanitation and adding
chemicals to the black water tank. In the past this meant remembering to bring RV toilet
chemicals, having to store RV sanitation chemicals and in many cases end up staining some
part of the bathroom with heavily died sanitation products. Many RV’ers use there
trailers and motorhomes for short weekend getaways and end up wasting chemical due to the
use of the new portion controlled packs now available on the market.
The Blue Streak Chemical Metering System eliminates these issues by carefully measures
just the right amount of toilet chemical each time you flush using precisely what’s needed
without waste or spillage. The Blue Streak system will delivery OVER 400 flushes to one
quart of chemical and CLEANS and DEODORIZES while doing so.
Eliminate the guessing! Nothing is more frustrating than having an RV that smells like a
port-o-potti. Temperature, toilet usage and the amount of water in a black tank all
effect how pleasant or unpleasant an RV bathroom will smell. And RV Toilet Chemical is
not cheap so tossing a ton of it in just to cover up the smell is not a smart option or is
it good for the environment. With the Blue Streak system the correct amount of chemical is
added with each flush. Blue Streak Chemical is carefully measured each time so you only
use precisely what is needed – no waste or spillage.
And it does it automatically. Each time you flush, Blue Streak Chemical is automatically
dispensed into your system. How easy is that!
The system is not the only amazing aspect of the product so is the chemical! The
non-formaldehyde based liquid has a clean fresh scent as well as cleaning and lubricating
properties. So the toilet stays cleaner and your RV’s valve seals stay lubricated.

Subject: Promised Testimonial From Asthmatic Customer Susan Thomas
Carl,
I was so glad to meet you in person @ The MARVAC Camper Show.
As promised, I am writing this testimonial in hopes that it will assist others in choosing Blue Streak Products for their RV usage. As I explained to you, I am an asthmatic. I am hypersensitive to smells of any kind. I chose to try your product because my husband wanted a “full service” bathroom in our RV. In the past, solid waste in our holding tanks for the toilet was a “taboo” because of odors. Every other toilet/holding tank cleaner/deodorizer I have used in our trailer before Blue Streak has irritated my nose and lungs making our trailer uninhabitable for me. Your product is amazingly different. Blue Streak has a light scent but even when our trailer has been shut up for extended periods of time, during hot summer days for example, Blue Streak does not have a cumulative odor. The trailer did not have to be aired out for 20 minutes before I could breathe inside of it. Since beginning our use of Blue Streak neither our toilet nor our black water holding tank have ever had any noticeable odor. In addition, your product is highly concentrated and therefore you use less of it to do the same job that many ounces of competitor’s products require. You have a winner with your Blue Streak chemicals and your toilet system! Keep up the good work! I am anxious to see how your Blue Streak System has weathered the winterization process in both of our trailers. (I installed your system in our other trailer after your Blue Streak System proved itself successful in our 32 foot travel trailer.) I’ll keep you posted about our DE winterization experiences with your system!
I highly recommend your product. I can see where it would have application to any recreational vehicle and watercraft (with heads) too! It is so refreshing to have a product work as the manufacturer says it should!
Can your product be used in porta-potties and chemical toilets too?
A Satisfied Customer,
Susan T. Thomas

Sure you can put my name on the Bathroom Wall.
I love this product and only wish that it had been available when we owned our boat and traveled the Great Loop, circumnavigating around the eastern USA via the waterways.
I kept saying, “Why can’t someone come out with a product that dispenses something that smells good, into these marine toilets. Ours was a vacuum flush so it did smell better than
the RV stool. These toilets just don’t have the pressure nor the circulation to cleanse the bowl with each flush”. I tried those gizmo’s that stick a wad of gel to the bowl and it
dissolves away but those also did not work well and the water circulation was not sufficient to make it work correctly.
Then we visited the RV Tampa Show in 2010 and almost the first booth that we came to was Blue Streak! I thought that I’d died and went to heaven. The answer had arrived!!!
YES!!!.
We installed it the next day. I must say that while ‘real men don’t need instructions” please, Trust Me....read the instructions. It will save you a ‘REAL MAN” clean-up.
The directions are clear, easy to follow, and the system works great. I like the blue water, the detergent keeps the bowl clean, the
fragrance is not over the top, and it does the job.
We’ve had visitors use our head and they ask...What is that product? I got tired of photocopying our brochure over and over and finally requested a few to hand out.
Our friends bought theirs and love the system also. It’s a WINNER!!
There are lots of RV gadgets out there but this one stands up to its promises...cleans, does it tank breakdown job, and smells good. It’s a WIN..WIN
Thank You
Garrett and Jean Mulder

my product UPS today, good service. Before I got the chemical I dumped;
I've been using Blue Streak since I saw it on the Escapees website and installed
my new toilet in a 1990 Layton travel trailer by Skyline in December of 2009.
It takes about a quart per month and does better on odor (none) than anything
else we've used. It also cleaned the scale out of the holding tank like
nothing else we've tried.
I'm a fan of Blue Streak.

Subject: Blue Streak chemical metering and dispenser kit
At the 2009 Tampa Florida Motor home show, we purchased the Blue Streak Dispenser Kit for our R.V. toilet and I must say that it is the most worthwhile addition that we have ever purchased for our R.V.. Now we always have a baby powder fresh aroma in our bathroom. The toilet bowl is always clean and its automatic. our holding tank doesn't smell any
more, and installation was so easy that a cave man could do it....thank you, thank you, thank you.....

Carl, as a long time RV enthusiast and a dog show participant we come in contact with RV’ers from all over the country almost on a weekly basis. I recently purchased and installed the Blue Streak Dispenser in my motor home. My wife and I absolutely love the simplicity of the system and the performance of the product.
Thank you very much,

I had your system in my last coach, which caught fire two years ago. Since all of my records where lost in the fire I could not remember the name of your product. It took 5 months to get my replacement coach and with all of the items that had to be replaced, I'm sorry to say the chemical dispense was low on the list. After 18 months of using different products I had to fine you again and I'm glad I did. I just ordered a new dispense and three bottles of product and I'm looking forward to getting it
installed in my new coach and stop the unpleasant odor that other chemical have.

concern, We recently purchased your
product. We are very pleased with the way it eliminates the odor. We are
wondering if it will break up the waste like other odor chemicals do. Can you
get back with me about that concern? Thank

Gerda Thanks for the interest in our
product. Blue Streak Chemical does break down the solids. The detergent in
the chemical breaks down the grease and the grease is the cement that holds the
solids together. Best Regards,

Hi,
I would like to tell you that my wife LOVES this product. She told me just
tonight that this system is one of the BEST investments we ever made. We
are really impressed on how it keep the bowl so clean and fresh smelling.
All I can say is if it keeps the bowl that clean my holding tank must be

I had just traded my last camper two weeks ago, and this is one of the first things I wanted for my new camper. My wife and I love the
scent, and I love the no hassle of trying to remember to dump in chemicals before
our trip. Thanks, I show this to everyone we camp with.

Dear Carl,
Your Blue Steak Automatic Chemical Metering System is
AWESOME. We enjoy the fact that we do not have to personally add chemical
each time we flush. We went through a lot of the old blue chemical
(leading brand also), but since we installed your product, we haven't even went
through a bottle yet since switching to the dispenser. If is so nice
just to be able to flush and forget it. The scent is a pleasing smell
also. The bathroom now smells like baby powder instead of that old chemical
smell that all RV'ers are accustom to. We would strongly recommend your
product to anyone thinking about purchasing it. We have recommended it to
our family members who have seen it in action and they want one. They plan on
purchasing your product as soon as they all return from Florida this spring.
Again, thank you so much for coming up with a product like Blue Streak Chemical.
All RV'ers will enjoy the ease of use and the scent your product provides.

I sent an inquiry a few weeks ago
concerning a problem with my newly installed dispenser. It would not
continually dispense the chemical at each flush and, I must admit that I was
disappointed.
You not only sent me a check valve
but also sent a bottle of chemical at no charge. Of course, the free
bottle didn't mean anything if I couldn't get the dispenser to operate
correctly.
Well, I would just like to tell
you that it is working like a charm. I am really ecstatic at how well it
works, but most of all the odor is pleasant, especially when you consider the
alternative.
With the last chemical that I used
(and it was the best seller) I still had problems with odors. But now
that I'm using Bluestreak chemicals I have not ANY occasion of bad odors.
The biggest highlight of using
Bluestreak is that my wife is no longer complaining and asking me to put more
chemicals in the tank. It's unnecessary.
Thanks again, and believe me I'll
be ordering more in the near future

"We just wanted to let you
know how we enjoy having your system for adding chemical to our holding tank in
our motor home. We have had the system for 3 years and would not be without it.
There is no mess with this system and the blue stuff smells wonderful every time
we flush the stool. Also there is hardly any smell when we dump. It really saves
money because it meters the chemical and you can dump anytime. When we the other
chemicals that had to have 8 oz. every time it cost more because we dumped many
times with only Ľ tank. We would recommend the system and the blue stuff to our friends or to anyone. It is great."

I
just want to start out by saying, this is a awesome product!
This unit automatically delivers
chemical to the toilet during each flush.
I have found the whole black
tank, toilet and chemical situation to be a real pain in the butt. (pun
intended) I have been using the powered packets of chemical which really are
over powering, which they need to be to do the job they are asked to do, but I
sometimes spill a tiny bit which added with water really stains. I also have to
hold my breath when dumping it in and half the time I just get it in and we are
leaving and I dump it all out at the dump station.
So I was on the hunt to find a
solution, and alas I found it. It is called the Blue Streak Chemical Metering
System. I called up Carl at Blue Streak and spoke to him about the product and
he had a unit on its way to my home.
The kit comes with instructions
for the most popular RV toilets, chemical holding tank, cover, and T valve.

First job was to remove the
toilet which required the removal of 2 nuts on each side of the base of the
toilet and unscrew the water inlet hose at the back of the tank.

Be careful, just like the removal
of your house toilet there maybe still a little water in a few places and could
pour out. I have hard wood floors so the little antifreeze (still winterized)
that came out did not harm anything. I have seen many rigs with cream or very
light carpet so be careful. You now remove the base cover which is fastened by 6
screws and begin to pry the cover off. There is a sticky sealant used in
assembly so it will take a bit of work to get the base apart from the main
toilet section.

I did a little cleaning at this
point, be careful on my Thetford toilet there are 2 springs in and around the
flush flap (mechanisms) If you move this around during cleaning like I did they
may going flying like mine did.
Next I found a good smooth area
in the water line leading into the toilet bowl and cut the tubing and inserted
the T fitting. Have a hair dryer handy for this procedure and warm the cheap
plastic they use so the fitting will insert with only a small fight. 

Now if you are like me you maybe
wondering if the fitting broke in the clear tubing provided by Blue Streak. It
is just the way they meter the proper amount of chemical during a flush.
You will need to drill a hole in
the base which you removed to allow the tubing to run outside of the toilet to
the chemical tank.
Reassemble the toilet and remount
it in the RV. I had to put my chemical tank directly behind the toilet to allow
the draw next to the toilet to open. It fits perfect and the lid opens with out
hitting the unit.

The chemical has a pleasant baby
powder smell and this can be metered down or shut off completely if need be with
a little fitting on the tube itself.
This project took about 1 hour
and I am so excited for the upcoming camping season to use it.
BTW I checked with Blue Streak
and the chemical will not freeze until temps get below 10 degrees.
