Emergency Zone Eco Gel Port-a-Potty Chemicals - Liquid Waste Gelling and Deodorizing Powder

This stuff is amazing and works on both pee and poop. Everyone likes to be all cute and dance around the subject on these reviews, but I’m here to tell you what’s up. I’m chronically ill and don’t have the luxury of waiting till I get to a toilet or “holding it” like all of these reviewers who claim they’ve only used it for pee. And this stuff works like a dream. I used this in a bucket toilet we use in our camper van. It has a plastic seat on top of a 5-gallon bucket, with a bag lining the bucket. I had always used kitty litter inside the bag to absorb pee and cover the poop, but litter is heavy and dusty and smells like a cat box and I wanted a change. But I was scared to try this stuff even after buying it. You just don’t want to experiment much in this area, lest something not work and you be left with a disgusting mess. Well, in the middle of the night one night while camping in our van, I sat on my bucket commode and relieved myself. It was late and I’d had to go both 1 and 2 really bad, but in my haste, forgot to put kitty litter in the bag. Horrified at my mistake afterwards, I shook a packet of this stuff into the bucket and slammed the lid closed. I waited a few minutes and then peeked inside. And then I was relieved a second time! All of the waste, liquid and solid, had been turned into a mass of stiff gel—not a drop of liquid left—and it actually smelled amazing, believe it or not. It stayed in the van all night with the lid closed and there was literally ZERO odor. Cleanup was easy the next morning—remove the bag, tie it off, throw it out. There was still not an inkling of odor, just the pleasant natural scent of this product. I figured out on subsequent uses that you can just use a little bit of the powder to get the same results and don’t have to use an entire packet. I’m so excited that this stuff will replace 50 pounds of cat litter for our long trips, is more neat and clean to use, renders the damages completely odorless (even pleasantly scented if I let myself get really weird and honest about it), and makes cleaning up our bucket throne 100 times easier. I hope this review will help other people who aren’t shy about doing heeding nature’s call and just want a product that works.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ based upon observation and speculation: PROS: packaged as promised, clear directions and compact size for storage. CONS: None yet! VERDICT: purchased as emergency no water use for hurricane preparation and HAVE NOT USED YET but the product promises to work as indicated and having used ‘Porta Pottis’ w/ the ‘Blue Liquid’ and water this seems to be a good back up plan/alternative for water outage situation. Allows for use of toilet @ home/shelter in place w/o H2O. Hope that his review was helpful/useful. ☮️

Works well. Pleasant odor control without being overbearing. Absorbs well I use it regularly for work and play needs

I ordered this for our truck camper bc I'm sick of having to go out in the middle of the night to pee in all sorts of weather, fearing a bear is gonna sneak up on me or someone will see me. I pee several times through the night, sometimes up to 5 times. That was one of the biggest barriers to me enjoying camping. I ordered a small collapsible toilet to add this into, which comes with some bags you add and then pour this stuff in. I only used it for pee, the Eco gel seemed to work relatively well, but I did have some liquid left in when the evening was done. The only thing I don't like about this stuff is the bag did leak, bc the gel didn't fully solidify the liquid, so when it was time to put away we had to tie off the bag and toss it, then wipe down the toilet as much as we could, then use soap and water once back at home. It was gross. I plan to double bag from now on and see if that helps. I've also heard kitty litter works, that might be better for urine, but the Eco gel is much easier to have on hand, it comes in a small resealable bag with individual pouches you sprinkle in. I still recommend this, it's made camp life so much better and I've only used it once. Might invest in better bags once these run out, the Eco gel is lemongrass scented and covers any smell, it smells wonderful actually.

Useful and very good product for camping trips

When you invite family members tent camping for the first time, and their favorite part was getting to poo in a bucket of lemon-scented fairy dust...you know you have a winner. I use this with a simple five-gallon bucket and a snap-on potty seat/lid, and hey presto! You have your own private privy. Being disabled myself, having a way to relive myself on site is a make-or-break factor in getting to enjoy the outdoors at all. Using a female funnel was very tricky with impaired balance, so this magic stuff solves the problem. I was even moving the pop-up privacy tent and knocked the bucket over sideways by accident. Having been used at least five times already, with just 2 packets of eco-gel, the waste inside DIDN'T EVEN SLIDE OVER. It was still in the exact bottom of the bucket. And I can’t emphasize the odor control enough. My mom and I share a tent for three day camp outs, and keep the bucket with fairy dust inside with us in the corner. The tent smells pleasantly of lemongrass, you would never guess!! Excellent product to keep on hand for power-outages and any other emergency situations. FIVE AWESOME STARS, ECO-GEL FAIRY DUST!!

I'm full timing whike I remodel, so I currently don't have access to fresh water for my tanks. I'm using a luggaloo with compostable bags. This gel does help a lot with smells, it smells like lemon verbena, which is really nice. However the packet says it handles .5 to 1 gallon of liquid, it does not. I have three gallons of liquid right now and have used so many packets, it's still liquid. I followed the directions, and at first it worked fine. But as more liquid was added and more powder, it became less effective. I don't know if I should prefill with the powder instead of adding one packet then adding a little more each time we use the bucket. I also don't like that it's individual packets instead of a tub with a scoop. Seems unnecessarily wasteful.

I tried other gel pack brands and as they did gel up the liquid the deodorizer want really there for doing the BIG BUSINESS (BB), some BB smells worse than others but I use the POO-POURI for that smell to not be so strong, this product gels nicely and I prefer it over some of the other's because of its gel power. I read some off the other comments about the smell power, POOH STINKS...PERIOD! So find other things to help with the smell but as for the the urine and the gel power and smell power this is a great product so far that I have tried and recommend it to everyone on our travels with the advice for using POO-POURIE spray for the BIG BUSINESS, poo 💩 stinks so smarter up and spine some baking soda or use sprays to rid your space of the horrible smell... don't say the products don't work just be realistic...

Good space-saver for my campervan, less bulky thank travelling with kitty litter etc. Would buy again.

This product worked great on a very small scale. After 2-3 bathroom uses it needed to be replaced. I attempted to add 2 packages to see if that would help but it didn't seem to make much difference. The smell was fantastic, but expect it to need changing often.
