DEODORANTS AND SPECIAL TISSUE Your VacuFlush sanitation system requires the regular addition of a deodorant product to reduce malodors and to help break down holding tank contents. Several factors should be considered in selecting a deodorant product. Liquid or Granulated: Liquid products obviously work more quickly by readily going into solution.
