Waste Storage Tank Chemical Recommendation
 
Just got my new sailboat. On Lake Champlain, we cannot pump overboard so
i had to cut pipes to overboard discharge and must pump the waste to the
waste storage tank.

Is there a recommended deoderant and waste breaker downer (or whatever
you call it)?

Also, how often during a season do you recommend adding some?

Ventilation is poor as it is on this boat so I need something that
actually works.

TIA,

Harlan

To respond, obviously drop the "nospan"?

You came to the right place. The lovely and talented Peggy Hall should
see your query. Most sailors recommend her book as a guide to 'head'
problems.

I recommend either Odorlos or Raritan K.O

Read the directions on the bottle!

In that case, Odorlos is your best choice.

Actually, I didn't...only your reply.
