RV black and grey tank treatment tests

This is a very unscientific test of 8 different RV black and gray tank treatment solutions to see which will best dissolve toilet paper and solids in your tanks.
SPOILER ALERT! There is a clear winner. There were 4 solutions that I feel were a complete failure and 4 that eventually worked. But there is one solution that was a clear winner, Unique RV Digest-It was the first to dissolve the dog food that was used to represent the solids in your black tanks and the only one to mostly dissolve the toilet paper.
Not only did Unique dissolve the dog food, but I also added more than double the amount of dog food after 24 hours and it still dissolved that too. Since the others weren't working, I doubled up on the amount of solution added to each bottle and they still didn't work as good as the Unique.
One of the solutions, the TST was the only one that made the toilet paper float. This makes me worry that the floating toilet paper will cling to the sensors when the tanks are dumped and cause them to malfunction.
I did like the bottles that the Odorlos and the two Camp Champ treatments come in. They have a built-in measuring device that is so much more convenient than using a measuring cup.
By the way, if anyone wants to buy some partially used bottles of black tank solutions, I now have several for sale. :)
