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: http://www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca/obs-bsn/pub...n_e.htm#Sewage 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. R. |

Scott, I just spoke to Anna
Niether of us is lying, they do supply molded tanks. They no longer supply marine holding tanks, but if I pay upwards of$2000 to make a mold then they will make me one.

My tank was not moulded. It is a straight forward rectangular tank. The pieces were cut from sheets and plastic welded to form the tank. I't been in the boat for 5 seasons now without a problem.

Its' not as expensive as you may think and you get to specify material, wall thickness and he location of the fittings.

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. -- 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://www.seaworthy.com/html/get_ri...oat_odors.html http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detai...=400&group=327 |
