I sometimes stay up late.

Do you think that the clorine dispenser used in Raritan Purasan (or
equivalent device) can be added to the holding tank?
the set would be: electric macerator, tank, clorine dispenser...
Just one idea...


Not a good one, I'm afraid...for several reasons. The PuraSan dispenser
is designed to deliver enough cholorine to treat each flush of the
toilet--one gallon or less. The toilet flush water washes through it,
carrying away just enough from the solid block of it...then the PuraSan
mixes and macerates that flush for 2 minutes. A whole tankful at a time
going through the cartridge would wash away most of the entire block,
but wouldn't be in contact with the waste long enough to "sanitize" it.
Nor would adding chlorine--or any other chemical--to a tank meet any
legal requirement in the world for "treated" waste. Even waste that's
been treated by a legal device before going into a tank is no longer
considered treated once it does. So nothing is accomplished by adding a
chemical to the waste before or during dumping the tank.

If the discharge of treated waste is legal in your waters, consider
installing a PuraSan or Lectra/San instead of a tank. More expensive
than a tank, but beats the socks off carrying waste aboard and all the
hassle of maintaining a tank if you don't have to.
