I use a large, dedicated freshwater tank for manual pump flushing,
which I keep full using a dedicated Spectra watermaker.

Just about every head problem is sal****er related. And by eliminating
the electric pumps too, yet another set of problems vanish.

I rebuilt the entire system anticipating the hundreds of problems I've
had in the past. For example, I now have a short, downhill hose run
with only a slight bend.

I was so happy with this new arrangement, I got rid of the sal****er
hookups and electric pumps in the galley too.

The only problem I have now is getting guests not to flush paper and
other stuff.

The line from my toilet runs under the bed, through the rear wall

Recently I've removed the walls from around the bottom of the bed,
and now the stink from the hose is much more noticable. It's a white
plastic hose and you can see that there is wire reinforcement within.
Is there something I can wrap the hose in, or any other methods to
reduce the amount of smell that gets out through the hose?

Thanks,
