Did I read that correctly...urine will destroy an aluminum holding tank?
Bummer...my Father just had one made for his trawler. Any way to prevent
this?

Question in the Island Packet group about aluminum and OdorLos.

Answer?

Odorlos won't harm an aluminum holding tank...but urine will destroy it.
That's been a known fact long enough that I'm very surprised that IP still
using aluminum holding tanks.

IP350-145 Commissioned August 2003.-All tanks original.



We flush with fresh (filtered) water and pump out after every sail
(usually weekenders with 4 people).



We do use ODORLOS and am wondering if anyone has any insight as to its
effect on the aluminum tanks.
