Default Sanitation Hose


Don wrote:
I am installing a new head and am going to use fresh water for flushing
getting away from sal****er. I would like to know if the fresh water
will dissolve the build-up inside the hose or do I need to replace the
whole sanitation line. It's about a 20 to 25 foot run to the holding
tank.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Don


Thanks for the help, I thought I would have to change the hose,
Defender has some for 3.99 a foot.

I have a new Raritan "Atlantes Freedom" with a freshwater valve and
siphon break so I am not worried about contamination to the freshwater
supply. If I must, I guess I can add an extra pump to pump the crap up
hill. As for the Acid, that would void the warranty and probably damage
the unit.

Peggy, I will write you off list.

Again, Thanks

Don

You shouldn't need it.

No, it wouldn't. In fact, a 12% solution of muratic acid in water--which
is flushed through the toilet (any toilet, including theirs)--is what
Raritan specifies in their instructions to remove sea water mineral
buildup on the electrode pack in a Lectra/San

Peggy, I will write you off list.
