Mainline eco Products was formed to trade in environmentally responsible products for use by boaters, afloat and ashore.

The Green Blue logoOur company follows the lead set by the British Marine Federation and Royal Yachting Association initiative 'The Green Blue' and the Boat Safety Scheme's increasing role in enhancing environmental awareness amongst boaters. Click on the logo to visit 'The Green Blue' website.

 Trained as a Green Blue Volunteer, I'm able to provide information and publications to help boaters adopt environmentally sound practices. Though I still have a lot to learn; please feel to ask me tricky questions. I may not have the answer, but will know someone who does.

 A key part of Mainline eco Products marketing strategy is to trade only in products we use ourselves, either afloat or ashore. We have an interest in non-toxic solutions because Frances is sensitive to chemicals such as formaldehyde, often found in other loo treatments.

So far, we offer two products, New Double Strength BioMagic , a non-chemical loo treatment and Soltron an enzyme based fuel additive.

 We are recent converts to BioMagic, having seen it for the first time at Preston Brook in August 2005.  We have told all our friends about it and are now distributors, able to deliver or despatch any quantity.

 What is BioMagic?   It was formulated by a bio-chemist in the United States. She found a way to dissolve substantial quantities of oxygen and nitrogen in water.  BioMagic is harmless to humans and animals, plants and the environment. It does not contain dyes or chemicals, although a perfume is added to aid identification.

What does BioMagic do?   BioMagic assists the breakdown of human waste and loo paper, naturally and without the use of toxic chemicals. It controls and eliminates unpleasant odours.

So, how does it work?   BioMagic is a natural bio-stimulant, enhancing Nature's ability to break down waste products. Unpleasant odours are produced by waste when natural bacteria, already present, do not have sufficient oxygen to complete the breakdown process. Oxygen-rich BioMagic assists natural bacteria to work more efficiently. Treating waste with BioMagic produces a harmless and odourless liquid residue that can be flushed away without causing harm to the environment.

 How is it sold and how much does it cost?   Double Strength BioMagic is available in four sizes, as shown in the table below.

BioMagic on trial.   Clifton Cruisers based on the North Oxford Canal, near Rugby, conducted a trial, throughout the 2006 season, on two hire boats in their fleet and a residential boat. Fleet operator, Paul Garfield, enthusiastic about the success of the trial, explains that BioMagic is particularly effective in odour control and the breakdown of waste, which in turn is beneficial for the yard's pump-out facility. Positive comments were also received from customers.

 For the 2007 season, Paul converted half the fleet to BioMagic and also holds stock for sale to boaters, campers and caravanners. Owners are also taking advantage of Clifton Cruisers new service, a thorough pressure wash of vessel holding tanks and conversion to BioMagic. From the start of the 2008 season all the fleet use Double Strength BioMagic.

  BioMagic? I can recommend this stuff. I was given a free sample by my BSS surveyor and we have purposefully left our toilet in a minging state (multiple users several weeks without emptying) and guess what? - no smell and evidence of 'natural' decomposition. R. I.

 I've been using BioMagic for about two years now, and I doubt if there's anything better on the market.  As I spend most of my time out and about on the waterways, it sometimes happens that I am nowhere near a disposal point, and all I can do is dig a hole in the ground, and tip.  With BioMagic, I can do this with a clear conscience, as I'm doing no harm - not something I could say if I had poisonous chemicals in the cassette.  If I don't use enough, there is the faint smell of a stable in my bathroom - but it's the smell of a clean stable, and I can deal with it by putting a little more BioMagic down the hole. I do sometimes take a look at other products, but I haven't yet found anything that tempts me.  BioMagic works well, and it's harmless.  That's good enough for me. J. M. Netherton.

This is quite a long email, but worth a read. Hiya there,  I spoke to you at Netherton boat gathering about BioMagic.  As promised I am  putting in writing what I said to you; BioMagic - Wow what a relief I have finally found something that has solved my quite embarrassing problem of my smelly toilet.  Up until now I have always used Blue in my pump out toilet but it never took the smell of my toilet away.  I have a very big tank for my toilet and when it is getting full I often get comments such as "are you due for a pump out?"  Well that was until I discovered BioMagic.  I had my toilet pumped out and giving it a good flush out to get rid of any left over blue.  Then I put in 100ml of Bio Magic.  Three days later I put in another 50ml, then again every 3-5 days (or when I remembered, which I often forgot because my toilet didn't smell so I didn't have a reminder) I added another 50ml.  The result was no smells and I don't mean an improvement, I mean NO smells!!  Even when I got it pumped out there was no smells.  Well I couldn't believe it, it really is that good.  That good that I am no longer embarrassed about my toilet.  That good that I want every one to know.  This shouldn't be kept as a secret, everyone should know about it because I believe that everyone who tries it in their toilet (pump out or cassette) will wonder how they managed without it.  So let me shout about BioMagic, I want everyone to hear: "This is a miracle, it actually works that well us boaters (or caravanners) can have smell free toilets." Thank you for making such an improvement to my toilet. F.B. (met at the Black Country Boating Festival, Windmill End, Sep 06.)

Link to Soltron website

 

Click on the Soltron logo to visit the UK website.

We have been using Soltron for 11 years now, in our boat, and our road vehicles.

What does Soltron do?   It is an effective fuel treatment that:

  • Cleans the fuel, important when using gasoil on your boat.Soltron 500ml.
  • Eliminates the 'diesel bug'.
  • Aids fuel filtration.
  • Reduces emissions.
  • Has demonstrated increased mpg by 5  - 10%**

** Field trial supervised by Queen's University, Belfast.

What are the benefits of using Soltron?   We have found several benefits from using it in our boat fuel. The engine, a Nanni Kubota 1500cc, runs smoothly and quietly, without smoke and any objection to red diesel fuel.  The fuel filter is always clean and in over 5000 hours running time, the injectors have never been removed for cleaning.

The Eberspacher diesel heating system likes it too. During the heater's annual service we find a clean combustion chamber and glow plug, without any coking or deposits.

Soltron is also NATO codified, which means it is available to the Military through their logistics supply chain, and they probably wouldn't use it if it didn't work.

How is it sold and how much does it cost?   Soltron is currently available in three sizes. Details are in the table below.
