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 |

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. -- 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" http://shop.sailboatowners.com/books...ku=90&cat=1304 |
