Boat is finally off the hard. I'll be transferring her to my slip over the weekend. End of last year I had an electrical smell (beter tahn smelling you know what...) after flushing - I'm guessing it's the macerator pump. I'll be checking it out this weekend and suspect I'll be here with some questions. Fortunately for you Peggy, poop questions are a fact of life that won't go away..... Sandy K. |

Peggie has, over the years, been an (if not, *the*) outstanding contributor to all of the rec.boats.* newsgroups. This is a counterfeit post, certainly not made by Peggie, and illustrates the depths that some of these newsgroup vandals are willing to stoop. Beware of those willing to "save" the newsgroup by posting obscenities and employing ridicule and derision of other posters... even those driven to post unacceptable quantities of unacceptable political spam. My suggestion is, if you are capable of filtering out unwanted messages, delete all of those messages sent through even one anonymiser and any message with political content. The newsgroups are bound to win... boating surely will! Thanks for the heads up. I was suspicious from the start. We indeed need to put an end to this. Is there anyone out there that can trace where this poster is located and his/her IP number? Certainly we cannot let a simple remailer beat us. |

Just ignore them. It's the best method.

Hear, hear!
Why in gawd's name would anybody want to pick on Peggie? There's a certain group of folks who seem to get nervous and resentful whenever somebody with professional experience in a field offers an opinion. It's almost as though the logic is, "nobody who knows what they're talking about should be allowed to comment, as it makes those of us posting SWAG about various topics or unable to support or own contrary opinions by any means beyond name calling and personal attacks look very silly as a result." |

You argue that a holding tank needs lots of ventillation to prevent odors. Most tanks don't have a large vent hose so little exchange of air occurs and they are non-arobic. Do you know of any system that uses a small air pump to bubble air through the sewage to oxygenate it. Seems to me a small aquarium pump would work but they all run on 115 volts and are noisy. This addition would also require another hole in the tank but that is not hard to do and would be worth the effort if the odors were eliminated. bill olcbill at charter dot net Bill Deutschman, PhD Providing Laser Safety Training, Oregon Laser Consultants Safety Audits, Computer Safety 455 Hillside Avenue Programs and CDRH Certification Klamath Falls OR 97601-2337 for Laser Users. 541.882.3295 |

I'd like to try rigging up my own. How much air does it take? Is there a critical amount below which nothing useful happens or does any air help? The Groco Sweetank pump moves 1.7 liters of air/minute, which is about the minimum that'll work. Two things are important: a sufficient amount of air to aerate the contents, and piping to distribute it throughout the tank. Otherwise it'll only push foul gasses out the vent all the time instead of only when the head is flushed. You can see the compete manual for the Sweetank he http://www.groco.net/parts/data/622.pdf I'd like to avoid the 12 volt drain. Since we are in an area where there will usually be wake motion, I have an idea for boat motion powered pump. I don't think it would produce enough air. The Sweetank requires only 3 watts of 12v power...not much of a battery drain. If even that's too much for your current 12 resources, a relative small solar panel would replace the drain on your battery. It's price of $150-200 seems expensive...but the purchase price is offset by what you're spending for tank products now, 'cuz a properly aerated tank requires nothing else. So depending on how much you're spending for tank products, the Sweetank can pay for itself in just a few years. -- 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" -- Ken Heaton & Anne Tobin Cape Breton Island, Canada kenheaton AT ess wye dee DOT eastlink DOT ca |
