Last week at the Dana Point Boat show someone was giving out those little
containers of hand sanitizers that you can hang form your PFD. I'll send
you one for after you change out the pump...

It's a self contained pump in the holding tank...not sure what will happen
if I ever have to repair it, guess I'll have to buy a lot of gloves.. :)

I've read where people use small "fish tank" air pumps to pump fresh air
into the holding tank so that the aerobic process can work. Is that what
Gerry put in or is it totally self-contained in the holding tank and just
aerates the contents like the local treatment plant?

One more thing...for just what you mention Warren, in my 440, Gerry
Douglas
installed a 'sweet air' bubbler for the holding tank. This bubbler, used
an
hour or so a day, introduces that aerobics into the tank to curtail that
smell...
I use it at the dock when I come on the boat--although I still use
Odorlos--no smells....yet!

In researching the holding tank issue ala "odors" a few years ago, I came
across a web site authored by a woman who is much revered by the RV
people.
One of the points she made is that smells may come from a lack of aerobic
bacteria in the holding tank. When there is insufficient air flow
circulating in the tank only the anaerobic guys survive and they are the
ones that generate the odors (methane, etc.) She recommends that the vent
hose and vent opening should be larger than what we typically find on our
boats. Was it one inch or 3/4? I don't remember. Just that it should be
larger than what we have.
In addition to using only fresh water flush, we started using Odorlos
(odorlos.com) each time we pump out. We no longer have head odors in or
out
of the boat. That doesn't mean that our S*$# don't stink, only that we
and
our boating friends no longer have to endure it.

It's comes from an overfilled holding tank. As Pat says and something I
always do take a hose and flush it out good while pumping out the tank.
Keeps odors from coming out when flushing the head. If I smell something
when someone is flushing the head it's always a clogged vent.
Keep it clean and open!

Has anyone had a problem with a clogged holding tank vent? I was told
it?s
a good idea to drill out the small vent hole at the base of the stanchion
to
a larger diameter. Has anyone done this?
Thanks!
