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. -- Peggie ---------- Peggie Hall Specializing in marine sanitation since 1987 Author "Get Rid of Boat Odors - A Guide To Marine Sanitation Systems and Other Sources of Aggravation and Odor" http://www.seaworthy.com/store/custo...0&cat=6&page=1 |
