It may be, but it's been very profitable. However, I haven't made a
career out of shipboard human waste, I've made a career out of helping
people to avoid having to deal with onboard waste. Unfortunately
nothing that allows people to avoid dealing with onboard human waste
seems to apply to online human waste, though.

Doh! Ever hear of a killfile? It's a cyber holding tank. You've got to
be blonde. What a retard! Is it true you changed your baby's diaper
only once a month? After all, it said on the box, "Good for up to 20
pounds."

Speaking about diapers....how are those 'Depends' working out for you, Capt
Neil?

Nope, not a bit. Aren't you glad folks do that for your subdivision as
well, or would you rather everybody just crap in the street?

Nothing wrong with proper sewage disposal. Nothing wrong with sewage
engineers. But they need to know their place. One does not go around
bragging, being proud of and setting one's self upon a queenly pedestal
simply because one's entire life revolves around human waste. Do it.
Make money from it. Be good at it. But, do us all a favor and keep a
low profile about it. In spite of what Peggy might think, she's a
laughing stock not because of what she does but because of her being so
proud and haughty about her ****ty occupation. You've heard the "big
fish in a small pond" saying. Well, Peggy is a big turd in a little
sewage lagoon. People are supposed to bow down and worship her because
of that? Hardly! If she can't take a joke about her false pride then
she's even more pathetic. The small rag-tag here who cling to her every
word and are feeling so good about themselves because they know somebody
who wrote a book about sewage need to find a real hero and get a real
life.

I'm involved in pretty much the same project as K2 and would appreciate
some clarification on a couple of your points.

You say "Put the loop as close to the thru-hull as possible ". Not sure
what you mean here. My vented loop is about 1 foot higher than the thru
hull. Wouldn't this lessen the chance of water being forced back into
the toilet?


"As close to the thru-hull as possible" doesn't have anything to do with
the height of the loop, only with how far upstream from the thru-hull to
put the loop. Obviously, how far upstream depends upon how much height is
available...hence "...as close as possible..."

You also say "tee the line from the macerator into the head discharge
line as close as possible to the
inboard side of the loop". This is the line from the y-valve to the
vented loop, correct?


No...the vented loop needs to be on the outboard side of the macerator.

So when the Y-valve is set to run sewage to the holding tank the toilet
is shut off from the thru hull and you don't need to worry about the
macerator pumping back into the toilet, correct?


Right...but not the way you're envisioning it. The plumbing should be:

toilet to y-valve...one side of y-valve to tank, the other side to vented
loop and thru-hull.

From the tank to a macerator to a tee in the toilet discharge line that's
AFTER the y-valve, but ahead of the vented loop.


Thanks Peggie
You final description is pretty much how I planned it except I had the
macerator tied in at the thru hull, that is, after the vented loop.
