Ping Peggy sanitation hoses
SNIP
But when it comes to how to plumb a system or what materials to use, there is nothing--at least nothing specific to sanitaion. There is a standard advising vented loops in all hoses connected to below-waterline thru-hulls and advice to keep all seacocks closed except when in use, but that's it. When it comes to what hoses and tank materials and how to plumb 'em, there's only collective wisdom. -- Peggie Then, is the collective wisdom that the PVC hose should not be used? The reason I ask is because the PVC hose seems very solid--even more so than the rubber hose I took out. The potential problem I saw is that the PVC cuts rather easily and because of this might be more vulnerable to accidental damage that could allow sea water into the boat if one forgot to close the seacock. Thanks for your very cogent and succinct answer. Peggy, you are the guardian angel of marine sanitation. Joe |
