Shelf Life of Enzyme Treatments?

[JoLin]

Couple quick questions. Thanks!

1. I have a bottle of Odorloss about a year old. What's the shelf life of this and similar enzymatic products (like KO) ?

2. I know from reading here that Raritan KO is compatible with CP. Is Odorloss also compatible with CP?

KO is bacterial, not enzyme.

Don't know the answer whether Oderlos will co-exist with CP.

I use KO.
Told it lasts about 2 years and that temps should not exceed 110F or the bacteria are killed.
I bought a gallon of it, so I better use it up soon.

iI use about a 1/2 gallon per week on the boat of Odorloss. I use CP monthly to clean out the head, shower sump, sink hoses and holding tank. The trick with CP is letting it sit long enough to do it's thing. Earlier this year I did some replumbing of the head and Purasan and I noticed the old hoses had no odor and were almost squeaky clean inside. The hoses I removed were about 5 seasons old. They were high quality Sealand hose that I had left over from my original VacuFlush installation. The other trick to keeping the sanitation hoses clean is 3 large freshwater flushes before you close the boat up when leaving this clears the discharge lines letting the Odorloss do it's thing in the holding tank. To answer the original question I don't keep the stuff long enough to get near the shelf life.
