Best holding tank chemicals.
None Chuck. The secret to keeping odors down is to provide
an environment that doesn't produce odors. That is plenty of oxygen so that aerobic critters thrive rather than anaerobic critters. Aerobic critters don't make odors. We have a 1.5" vent line to our holding tank. It allows circulation of air through the tank. Another secret is to make sure that when you flush, you run enough water through so that no nasties stay in the line from the head to the tank. Check out Peggy Hall's famous "toilet paper" Doug s/v Callista "Chuck Baier" wrote in message om... There are so many different products and recommendations for holding tank chemicals. I would appreciate any first hand experience with those that actually work to keep down odors and break down solids. |

Yea, I've got a 1" and it seems sufficient. If you have an aerobic system
(most don't) KO by Raritan is the best treatment. If you have an anaerobic system with the tiny vents from the Mfg., Odorlos is the best, because it makes it's own oxygenating compounds. It does get used up in the process though, so you have to renew it if you don't pump out fairly often. -- Keith __ What would men be without women?
