IMO, you have it backwards...a Lectra/San requires far LESS maintenance
than a holding tank--no vents to keep clear, no need for any odor
elimination management...no sludge buildup...no macerator pump with an
impeller that can fail at sea when the tank is full because you either
haven't changed it in 5 years or forgot to turn it off as soon as the
tank was empty. The only maintenance a Lectra/San needs to keep running
reliably for about 20 years is a solution of muriatic acid according to
directions once or twice a year.
==================================

Peggie, thanks for the reply. I was under the impression, perhaps
incorrectly, that a holding tank was still required for the output of
the Lectra/San in order to comply with no discharge areas. Is that
incorrect?
