Head odor solution
One of the things I'm not looking forward to about sailing is head
odor, especially in a boat where we'll be sleeping on top of the holding tank. I'm thinking of setting up an arrangement like this: I'll put a tee with a valve into the head intake line just upstream from the seacock. This will run to a plastic tank of two to five gallons with a large diameter screw top and a hose with valve nearby running to the fresh water system. Throw the deodorizer of your choice into the tank and fill it with fresh water. Last flush of the day, switch the head over to the tank so that fresh water and deodorizer runs through everything. I wouldn't hard pipe the tank to the FW system because there needs to be an airgap between it and any possible connection to sewage. Obviously not a solution for long distance cruising where fresh water supply is an issue but, if you're doing that, you've probably gotten used to odor. -- Roger Long |
