Iow, you're saying that in Canada there is no "3 mile limit" in coastal
waters...that raw sewage may be discharged directly overboard from the toilet
and holding tanks may be dumped anywhere in coastal Canadian waters except in
those areas specifically designated "no discharge?"


This is correct. In British Columbia the "no discharge" areas are
listed at:

http://www.pacific.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/obs...as/index_e.htm




Kinda, I think...What I'm saying is that the "Type I" Type II" and "Type III"
are purely American designations - they have no legal definition in Canada (or
other parts of the world).


Actually, Type I and II MSDs are clearly defined in ISO rules, which are
the regs for most of the world--and US regs conform to ISO rules...in
fact are the basis for many ISO rules that US rules pre-date. So while
"Type I and II MSD" may not have any meaning in Canada, they most
definitely do in most other parts of the world that have marine
sanitation regs.


These are also Canadian designations:

As a matter of interest, the city of Victoria does not treat its
effluent other than straining out the large bits.

You may find that a white LED (the kind that replaces a bayonet-mount
12 v incandescent) works just as well at a fraction of the amp draw
and an uptick in ruggedness.

This may be of interest if like me your holding tank is nearly as
distant from the batteries as the bow running lights, which I may
switch this year to ganged LEDs for this reason.

Ronco Plastics (http://www.ronco-plastics.com) in California is your
best source...and since you're close to the border, I suggest you rent a
Mailboxes Etc (or one of the many similar businesses) address in the
closest location to you on the US side of the border--not just for the
tank, but for everything else you'd order from US marine suppliers. You
could even share it with friends and take turns coming over to pick up
shipments.

It's not illegal as long as you declare it when you cross back into
Canada and pay any duty (doubtful there'd be any)...those "mailboxes"
are very inexpensive, having stuff sent to one will save you a fortune
in UPS "international" shipping charges and "customs brokerage fees." In
the unlikely event there would be any duty, you'd have to pay that
whether it's shipped to a Canadian address or you bring it over...so
there's no gain or loss there.

Now is an especially good time to buy from US suppliers too...'cuz the
rate of exchange is the lowest it's been since I can remember.

Ronco made mine with two dip tubes, one for the deck pumpout and the other
for the diapharagm pump, so I don't need a Y valve. Very happy with their
tank and fittings. All were installed on the top of the tank.

They'll install any fittings you specify, in any location you specify,
including a discharge on the top with a pickup tube inside to the bottom.

If the tank is going in a sailboat, I recommend that you put ALL the
fittings ON the top, with both the vent and the inlet from the toilet
away from the hull, toward the centerline of the boat. That will prevent
waste in the tank from flowing into the vent line and the head discharge
hose when you're heeled, no matter which tack you're on.

Canadian holding tank supply
 
BTW, Phillips makes a nice 110V bulb coated with Teflon, so that if it
